Thomas Tona – Founder & CEO, TonaLaw

Legal Career and Leadership

Thomas Tona is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TonaLaw, a New York-based law firm. He has nearly 30 years of experience as a New York State trial attorney with a career concentration in plaintiff’s personal injury and no-fault insurance collections. For the past 24 years, Mr. Tona has led his firm with the guiding vision of “Fighting for Injured New Yorkers and the Healthcare Providers Who Treat Them”. He remains actively involved in litigation, personally managing high-stakes personal injury cases, including traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, falls, trucking accidents, and automobile accidents, to ensure top-quality representation for his clients.

Technological Innovation & Scalability

In 2014, Mr. Tona pioneered the development of a proprietary client portal (originally known as the “TonaLaw Portal”) to modernize and scale his firm’s NYS healthcare no-fault collections practice. He recognized that the traditional approach of using spreadsheets to report case status and financials was inefficient and lacked security measures, compliance assurances, risk mitigation protections and transparency for institutional clients. To solve this, he spearheaded one the first SaaS-based legal case management platforms in his field, giving clients real-time access to their case files, updates, and key performance metrics. This innovation provided unprecedented visibility into the legal process, addressing a market need for full transparency that other law firms had long ignored.

Results: Under Mr. Tona’s leadership, the portal enabled TonaLaw to expand its institutional client base from roughly 50 accounts to a peak of nearly 400 healthcare provider clients. Now in continuous operation for over ten years, the platform has streamlined file handling and communications, allowing the firm to efficiently manage nearly ten of thousand new case files per year in its no-fault collections division. There are no limits to scalability. Clients have embraced the portal’s transparency, on-demand accessibility, hipaa compliance, security protections and performance-tracking features; benefits that translate into stronger client relationships and measurable business results. Building on this success, Mr. Tona has founded MedLawRCM, LLC to bring this proven platform and its efficiencies to law firms and medical billing companies nationwide.

Strategic Leadership: Throughout his career, Thomas Tona has demonstrated a commitment to innovation and excellence in service. His blend of deep legal experience and forward-thinking business strategy has not only earned his firm a strong reputation, but also positioned him at the forefront of legal-tech solutions in the personal injury and healthcare collections arena. This track record of visionary leadership and tangible growth reflects the caliber of expertise and drive that Mr. Tona brings to MedLawRCM’s mission for transforming legal healthcare collections.
