J.J. Tyzbir brings more than 26 years of civil litigation experience to his role as senior attorney in the Manhattan office of Brandon J. Broderick, Attorney at Law. He devotes his practice to personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, and wrongful death, and he cares for his clients as though they were family. Mr. Tyzbir has represented clients in both bench and jury trials and has taken personal injury cases through verdict.

Before joining the firm, Mr. Tyzbir served as managing partner of a multistate law firm focused on civil litigation and business law. As an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Vermont, he led the Major Claims Unit and represented the state in both trial and appellate courts. His experience spans private practice, public service, military service, and legal education.

Mr. Tyzbir proudly served as a Judge Advocate in the Air National Guard, deploying multiple times in support of the Global War on Terror. In that role, he advised commanders on military law and operational matters. He also spent several years as an adjunct professor, teaching graduate courses in business law and ethics and encouraging future business leaders to approach complex decisions with creativity, sound judgment, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Mr. Tyzbir graduated from the University of Vermont, where he majored in community development and applied economics. After two years as a PSIA-certified ski instructor at Stowe Mountain Resort, he attended the University of Richmond School of Law, graduating with honors in 2000.

During law school, Mr. Tyzbir studied international law at Emmanuel College, Cambridge University; served as a legal advisor at the United Nations in New York; and studied counterintelligence at the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C. As a third-year law student, he obtained a practice certificate through the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which allowed him to appear in federal court in Richmond, Virginia, under the guidance of James Comey, who later served as Director of the FBI.

Mr. Tyzbir subsequently earned a master’s degree in international law with honors from Georgetown University. While pursuing that degree, he worked with a large Washington, D.C., law firm on international business law, dispute resolution, and complex civil litigation matters.
