Mr. Filopei has spent his entire legal career with William Ricigliano, P.C. He began as an unpaid legal intern, worked his way up to the firm's managing associate and heads the firm's trial preparation team. One of Mr. Filopei's main interests is helping people who are legally disenfranchised. His grandfather was a New York City construction worker who suffered a premature death due to mesothelioma in the 1980's. Legal remedies were never explored or pursued on behalf of his family because they did not know their rights or that a cause of action existed. It is Mr. Filopei's goal to ensure that other people know their rights when corporations and insurance companies expose people to unnecessary risks and dangers solely to increase profits.

Since 2008 Mr. Filopei's practice has focused on premises liability claims, multi-vehicle motor vehicle collisions, truck accidents, environmental exposure claims, dram shop litigation, construction accidents, negligent hiring, assault cases, and trial advocacy. He has obtained millions of dollars in recovery for his clients through settlement, arbitration, and trial.
