John V. Mallon chairs the firm's Defense Department, leading a group of 13 attorneys handling matters related to automobile, aviation, premises liability and insurance coverage disputes. Mallon has prepared hundreds of cases for trial in both the state and federal courts and has tried more than 60 to verdict. In recognition of his extensive trial experience, he has been designated as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney by the New Jersey Supreme Court since 2001. In a rigorous selection process conducted by Law Politics and published in New Jersey Monthly magazine, Mallon was designated as a Super Lawyer® in the area of insurance coverage in 2009.
Most recently, Martindale-Hubbell has awarded its highest peer review rating to John for ethical standards and legal ability. A Martindale-Hubbell AV rating is a significant accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
Mallon has also defended numerous appeals on behalf of his clients. In Buono v. Scalia, he successfully argued the doctrine of parental immunity before the New Jersey Supreme Court. In a matter of first impression, Mallon persuaded New Jersey’s highest court that a parent’s determination to allow a child to ride his bicycle within the confines of a neighborhood block party was a valid exercise of parental decision-making, providing immunity from a negligent supervision claim.
Mallon has served as a Continuing Legal Education speaker to the legal community, most recently presenting at NJICLE seminars "Keys to Focusing and Developing Your Case" and "The Best Offense is to know the Defense".
Mallon graduated from the University of Scranton in 1988, earning a bachelor's degree cum laude. He received his juris doctor degree from Rutgers University School of Law in 1994. Mallon began his career with Allstate Insurance Company in 1988, gaining vast experience in a wide array of insurance related areas. Mallon was later appointed as a Trial Counsel for Allstate’s Legal Department before joining Chasan Leyner in 1997.
Mallon became a Principal with the firm in January 2001.
