About Jerry
Biography
As an avid advocate for workers and a successful litigator who holds several leadership positions within the legal community, Jerry may come across as someone who hails from generations of lawyers. But don’t let his professional confidence and calming presence fool you.
Jerry grew up in the small blue-collar area of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, just northwest of Pittsburgh. As a boy, he learned the value of hard work when his father, a plumber, took him along in his van on the weekends to install toilets and water heaters. His grandfather and uncles worked at the steel mill in town. Like them, Jerry worked hard, putting in 16-hour days at the mill between Memorial Day and Labor Day to pay for college and law school tuition.
An internship with the District of Columbia Public Defender’s Office during his last semester of college sparked Jerry’s interest in the law, and riding around with D.C. Police officers and participating in autopsies got him thinking about people’s injuries. After graduating from Allegheny College in 1982, Jerry attended Temple University School of Law, graduating from the school in 1985.
Even as a founding partner of a law firm the size of Pond Lehocky Giordano, Jerry continues to meet his clients face to face to understand their and their family’s situation, to determine the best legal strategy for securing the benefits they’re entitled to, and uncovering ways to ensure that as many of their legal and medical needs are taken care of as possible. To this day, Jerry is still appearing in court and zealously advocating for his clients every step of the way in their lawsuits. In fact, in 2020, a $4.4 million settlement that Jerry secured was one of the highest workers’ compensation settlements that year.
Jerry’s work isn’t just in the courthouse; he knows his way around the state house. Among his winning efforts to persuade the Pennsylvania Legislature to pass bills that support injured or disabled workers, Jerry co-authored the bill that created the Uninsured Employers Guaranty Fund. The bill, which became the first law in more than 30 years to protect injured workers, established a fund to provide Pennsylvania workers benefits and financial compensation for their on-the-job injuries when their employers, illegally, fail to carry active workers’ compensation insurance.
As someone who believes in sharing his knowledge and wisdom, learning from his peers, and protecting the integrity of the bar, Jerry has long been active in public service and in serving the legal community.
