Romanow Law Group

What Romanow Law Group does

Romanow Law Group is a privately held, plaintiff-side personal injury law firm headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that represents individuals injured due to the negligence of others. The firm was founded by David M. Romanow, Esq., who previously served as trial counsel for the catastrophic injury practice group at a large multi-city law firm where he helped secure hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. Its core practice areas include car accidents (with sub-pages covering rear-end, head-on, T-bone, distracted driving, drunk driving, hit-and-run, rollover, speeding, and rideshare crashes), truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, broader personal injury (workers' compensation, medical malpractice, slip and fall, premises liability), and wrongful death. The firm operates from a single physical office at 4930 McKnight Road in Pittsburgh but states service coverage across Pennsylvania, Florida, and Maine.

The firm's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with client acquisition driven by an SEO-rich website, the Lawyer-ish podcast and YouTube channel, online reviews, and a 24/7 toll-free intake line (1-844-GET-MORE). Differentiators include offering clients direct cell-phone access to attorneys rather than paralegals, free consultations, home and hospital visits, and free shuttle transportation. The firm operates exclusively on a contingency-fee model: clients pay nothing upfront, and the firm covers case costs, earning a percentage of any settlement or verdict recovered.

The attorney team is small and specialized, comprising four named lawyers — Founder David M. Romanow (Partner), Ismail Yousef (Partner, PharmD), Joseph Guzzardo (Attorney), and Josh Rosen (Attorney) — all focused exclusively on personal injury rather than general practice. The firm has accumulated a stack of industry recognitions (AIOTL Best Law Firms 2023, Litigator of the Year 2020, Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Super Lawyers, National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40, BBB A+) and publishes a portfolio of case results including a $19.8M industrial accident verdict. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm is founder-owned with no disclosed parent company or institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Morgan & Morgan: The largest plaintiff-side personal injury firm in the U.S., operating a high-volume direct-to-consumer PI model on contingency with multi-state coverage and heavy marketing spend — directly comparable to Romanow Law Group on business model, intake motion, and PI specialization.
• Cellino Law: Buffalo/New York-based plaintiff personal injury firm running a direct-to-consumer contingency model with branded TV/digital marketing — closely comparable to Romanow's contingency fee PI model, regional brand-building approach, and focus on auto and serious-injury cases.
• Kanner & Pintaluga: Florida-based plaintiff personal injury firm with a contingency-fee model across car accidents, slip-and-fall, and premises liability — comparable because Romanow serves FL clients, and Kanner & Pintaluga operates the same contingency/auto-accident playbook in a core overlapping jurisdiction.
• Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys: Tampa-based personal injury firm operating on contingency with a heavy auto-accident focus and aggressive trial marketing — comparable to Romanow because both are contingency-fee plaintiff PI shops combining digital marketing with auto and trucking case work.
• Marcus & Mack, PC: Indiana County, Pennsylvania plaintiff personal injury firm serving Western PA with a contingency-fee model across auto, premises liability, and wrongful death — the closest geographic and case-mix comparable to Romanow's Western PA personal injury franchise.
• Law Tigers: Plaintiff motorcycle-injury law firm built around branded marketing and contingency-fee representation — comparable to Romanow because motorcycle and auto accident representation is a core Romanow practice line, and Law Tigers operates a similar contingency-plus-marketing playbook in a motorized-vehicle niche.

Broad incumbents

• Burg Simpson: Multi-state plaintiff firm with a strong personal injury and mass tort practice alongside broader litigation — comparable because the firm overlaps Romanow's PI/motor-vehicle case profile but operates a broader portfolio across multiple states, putting it in scaled-incumbent territory.
• The Cochran Firm: National plaintiff-side personal injury firm with offices across multiple states running contingency-fee PI work including auto, mass tort, and catastrophic injury — comparable to Romanow on contingency PI economics and brand-led intake, scaled to a multi-state footprint.
• Stark & Stark: Established New Jersey-based law firm with a substantial plaintiff personal injury practice on contingency — comparable to Romanow on PI business model and contingency fee structure, but operating as a multi-practice mid-sized incumbent rather than a PI-focused boutique.

Regional players

• Shook & Stone: Nevada-based plaintiff personal injury firm running a contingency-fee model with mass-tort and motor-vehicle case focus — comparable to Romanow on PI business model but operating primarily outside Romanow's PA/FL/ME geographies, making it a regional comparability peer rather than a direct territory competitor.
