Overview
Saul I. Molina is an associate in the Casualty Department where he concentrates his practice on defending a wide range of civil litigation matters. He represents individuals, businesses, and insurers in high-exposure matters involving motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, products liability, dram shop actions, intentional torts, and public entity and civil rights claims. Saul works closely with clients to shape litigation strategy from the outset of a case through resolution, whether by dispositive motion, negotiated settlement, or alternative dispute resolution. Through his motion practice, Saul has effectively secured complete dismissals for corporate clients, including major international hotel chains and non-profit sports organizations.
Saul’s practice is informed by his prior service in the Civil Division of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and his work at a regional firm based in New York City handling asbestos and mass tort litigation. While working full time as a paralegal prior to and during law school, Saul worked with Assistant U.S. Attorneys in affirmative and defensive matters involving the False Claims Act, qui tam actions, Affirmative Civil Enforcement (ACE), healthcare compliance, and the defense of federal agencies and employees under various state and federal statutes.
Saul earned his J.D. from Rutgers Law School, where he served as Senior Staff Editor of the Journal of Law and Public Policy and Treasurer of the Latin American Law Student Alliance. He completed his undergraduate studies in Political Science and Philosophy at Pennsylvania State University, gaining early legal experience through internships with the Innocence Project and for a member of congress in Washington D.C.
Fluent in Spanish, Saul is active in both professional and community organizations, including devoting time to pro bono service to low-income residents and families in Philadelphia, PA. He is barred in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
Results
Successfully obtained summary judgment dismissing all claims, with prejudice, on behalf of a nonprofit youth baseball league in New Jersey. The court agreed the league was protected under the Charitable Immunity Act and that the volunteer coaches, including the minor plaintiff’s parent, were independently shielded under state law. This decisive ruling not only ended the case in our client’s favor but also prevented plaintiffs from expanding the litigation.
