What to Know About the Best Law Firms Rankings

Since 2010, Best Law Firms has used an extensive research-based ranking system to evaluate firms throughout the country and in various practice areas. The objective of these rankings is to identify, recognize, and award those firms that exhibit consistent signs of professional and legal excellence. 

Law firms with at least one attorney recognized in The Best Lawyers of America are eligible, provided they are in a recognized geographic and practice area. Firms do not pay a fee to be considered nor to receive an award or ranking.

How Does Best Law Firms Make Its Decisions?

It is no small achievement to be named among the best workers’ compensation lawyers, especially considering the extensive criteria that Best Law Firms uses. The publication takes into account the following factors when deciding which law firms should be honored:

• Client and professional reviews: Clients and other professionals complete surveys that ask about their experiences with the firm. These surveys gauge the respondents’ opinions concerning the firm’s responsiveness, understanding of their needs, cost-effectiveness, and whether they would recommend the firm to others.
• Firmographic information: Firms are asked to supply certain data about their law offices to Best Law Firms. This information is a necessary component of Best Law Firms’ rigorous review process and is designed to provide comprehensive insight to a firm’s personnel and other important resources that directly affect the quality of legal representation.
• Competitor evaluations: Other lawyers, both individually and organizationally, are asked to provide feedback on competitors within their practice areas. For example, other Philadelphia workers’ comp lawyers give their opinions about a particular firm’s responsiveness, their experience working with the firm, and whether they view the firm as a worthy competitor. The lawyers who participate in this survey must be currently recognized as Best Lawyers.
• Industry leader interviews: If someone wants to know which workers’ compensation law firms are the best, they ask industry leaders. Best Law Firms includes this metric, which invites managing partners and practice group leaders to analyze the legal landscape and give valuable feedback that will help rank an individual law firm.

Who Is Pond Lehocky?

Our firm began in 2010, and since then, we have grown to one of the country’s largest workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, and long-term disability law firms. What began as a respectful rivalry between two of the region’s top workers’ comp attorneys, Sam Pond and Jerry Lehocky, developed into a combined effort to serve Philadelphia clients better. Tom Giordano later joined the firm to help grow its Social Security Disability practice.

We have recovered, to date, billions of dollars for our clients through settlements and litigation. Starting with our original office located in Philadelphia, we have expanded and opened additional offices throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Alabama. Along the way, our firm has gained a reputation for legal distinction as evidenced by the various awards we have won, but we have never forgotten our core mission: to help as many injured and disabled people as we possibly can.
