Pond Lehocky Giordano's true origin story started over 30 years earlier when Sam Pond and Jerry Lehocky were adversaries in the workers' compensation arena. Immediately, they formed a mutual respect and admiration of each other's zealous advocacy for their clients. Rather than continue to battle each other in the courtroom, they decided to join forces at a prior law firm, representing injured workers' and ultimately transforming Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation forever. Some years later, Tom Giordano joined that firm and with their encouragement and support, began to grow and lead their Social Security Disability practice.
In 2010, both Sam Pond and Jerry Lehocky knew it was time to start their own firm. A place where the client is always first and where unrelenting advocacy on behalf of injured workers is not the exception, but the norm. With Tom Giordano, they formed Pond Lehocky Giordano and have never forgotten their mission help as many injured and disabled people as possible. Just a few short years after its opening, Pond Lehocky Giordano expanded from the firm's original office location in Center City, Philadelphia and opened additional offices throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In 2016, we opened a main office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the hometown of Jerry Lehocky, and led by our partner Steve Miller, a native of Western Pennsylvania.
Pond Lehocky Giordano's meteoric rise has been accompanied by many accolades and accomplishments that highlight both the firm's expertise and its impact on the legal community, and the firm's founding partners have led the charge. Notably, Sam Pond's negotiation of a $3 million settlement stands among the highest ever awarded in Pennsylvania workers' compensation, second only to Jerry Lehocky's $4.4 million settlement obtained in 2020. Additionally, Lehocky's efforts in co-authoring the bill establishing the "Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund" (a fund which provides workers' compensation benefits to injured workers whose employers do not carry workers' compensation insurance) helped deliver the first pro-workers piece of Pennsylvania workers' compensation legislation in more than 30 years.
Additionally, Pond Lehocky Giordano has been named to U.S. News and World Report's Best Law Firms list in the 'Tier 1' group for workers' compensation, the highest classification. Partners Sam Pond, Jerry Lehocky and Thomas Giordano Jr. have all been named to The Best Lawyers in America list and the Super Lawyers list as well. Many of the Firm's Partners and attorneys have been named Super Lawyer Rising Stars, an honor bestowed on less than 2.5% of all eligible attorneys in Pennsylvania.
Pond Lehocky Giordano has also been consistently recognized as one of the region's best workplaces. The Philadelphia Business Journal has named the firm to its Best Places to Work list seven times, including in 2020. The Philadelphia Inquirer has also named the firm one of the Top Workplaces in the region multiple years.
