At Pond Lehocky Giordano, we don’t chase accolades – but that’s not to say we won’t celebrate the hardworking partners and attorneys who earn them! Thomson Reuters has named 9 of our firm’s attorneys 2023 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers or Rising Stars in their respective practice areas. That’s more than a third of the entire firm!
This year, Melissa R. Chandy and Keld R. Wenge have been honored on the Super Lawyers list for the first time. This is Joseph M. Squadroni’s first year on the Rising Stars List, as well. Last but not least, Managing Partner Samuel H. Pond has once again been named one of the “Top 100” Super Lawyers in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
Every year, Super Lawyers utilizes a multiphase selection process to create their lists of top lawyers across the country. Candidates are found through nominations or independent research. After vetting each candidate against 12 key indicators of professional achievement and peer recognition, they may be selected by Super Lawyers for their top lists. Less than 5% of attorneys in any given state are given this distinction.
