Golomb & Honik, P.C.

What Golomb & Honik, P.C. does

Golomb & Honik, P.C. is a Philadelphia-based plaintiffs' law firm founded in 2005 by managing shareholder Richard M. Golomb and founding partner Ruben Honik (who merged their prior practices that year). The firm operates from a single office at 121 S. Broad Street in Center City Philadelphia and represents individual plaintiffs and plaintiff classes nationally across four practice areas: personal injury (including medical malpractice, defective products, construction and trucking accidents, premises liability), toxic torts (with a specialty in beryllium exposure litigation for aerospace, machinist, and electronic workers, plus chemical, lead paint, and pharmaceutical exposure claims), class action (medical monitoring, consumer protection, federal RICO), and commercial/consumer matters (disability insurance, bad faith, defamation, civil rights).

The firm generates revenue through professional services on two structures: a contingent-fee model for personal injury, toxic tort, and class action cases (where the firm receives a percentage of recovery), and hourly or retainer arrangements for commercial litigation. Notable case results include a $7.3 million class action settlement for students misled by a vocational school, an eight-figure confidential truck-accident settlement, a $6.5 million recovery for a paraplegic victim, a $4 million estate recovery for a student killed by a drunk driver, and a $2.5 million jury verdict against the Philadelphia Phillies mascot. The firm's technology profile is limited to a website with phone intake (215.985.9177 / 800.355.3300) and online contact forms, with no disclosed software products, APIs, or AI tooling.

Distribution and client acquisition rely on attorney-to-attorney referrals for complex PI and beryllium cases, direct phone and web inquiries, in-person consultations, and earned legal-news coverage, with no third-party intermediaries. The firm markets to a fragmented base of individual plaintiffs across multiple states (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Georgia, Louisiana, California) and has no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or external funding.
