Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano

What Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano does

Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano, founded in July 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a privately-held plaintiff-side law firm that has grown into what it describes as the largest dedicated workers' compensation and Social Security disability law firm in the United States. The firm was founded by three Pennsylvania attorneys — Samuel H. Pond, Jerry M. Lehocky, and Thomas J. Giordano, Jr. — and operates a practice spanning workers' compensation (including Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act claims across industries such as construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and maritime), Social Security disability (SSDI/SSI), personal injury (automobile, medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, catastrophic and birth injuries), employment issues, civil rights, commercial litigation, life insurance claim denial, short- and long-term disability, veterans benefits, and whistleblower/qui tam matters. The firm reports over $1 billion recovered for clients across 100,000+ cases won, with 3,000+ five-star client reviews.

The firm operates 12 physical offices across Pennsylvania (Philadelphia headquarters plus Lancaster, Trevose, Wexford, Harrisburg, Scranton, Bethlehem), New Jersey (Pennsauken and Haddonfield), Alabama (Birmingham), California (Los Angeles), and Washington (Seattle), and is staffed by attorneys licensed in all 50 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard legal practice management and case-tracking systems, a client portal for case status access, and digital intake channels including phone (888-POND-LAW) and web forms; the firm does not develop proprietary AI or technology products. Community initiatives include the 25 Days of Scholarships program (25 students awarded $1,000 each) and a podcast partnership (PLG x The Labor Show).

The business model is contingency-fee-based: clients pay no upfront fees and the firm earns a percentage of settlements or awards only when cases are resolved favorably, supplemented by free initial case evaluations. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer digital intake (SEO-optimized website content across 50 states), a professional referral network of lawyers, physicians, and union workers, and community engagement through CLE events, podcasts, and scholarship programs. Revenue is highly fragmented across a mass consumer base; specific firm revenue is not publicly disclosed.
