About Jerry M.
Jerry M. Lehocky built the foundation for his legal career in Pennsylvania. He earned a B.A. from Allegheny College in 1982 and a J.D. from Temple University School of Law in 1985. Those years set the stage for a practice centered on litigation and advocacy in state courts.
He is a partner at Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano. Over decades at the firm he has handled contested matters that required courtroom work, depositions and negotiation. He is known among peers for steady courtroom presence and for taking on complex procedural questions when they arise.
Lehocky’s professional affiliations reflect a broad engagement with trial law and professional regulation. He holds membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar and the American Bar Association. He sits on the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association and belongs to both the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association and the American Trial Lawyers Association. He is also part of the Workplace Injury Litigation Group, a network that concentrates on workplace injury claims and related litigation strategies.
Outside bar organizations, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Volunteers for the Indigent Program. That role places him in contact with clients who have limited resources and with attorneys who volunteer legal services. He is also a member of the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court, where matters of attorney conduct and discipline are considered. Colleagues note that those responsibilities require careful attention to procedure and ethics.
Lehocky has ties to the Association for Justice and is identified as a future president of that national organization. That designation indicates ongoing leadership within the trial bar and an active role in shaping the organization’s agenda over the next several years. He is also active locally in the Philadelphia Bar Association, balancing state and national involvement.
His work combines litigation practice at the firm level with service to organizations that oversee and support trial lawyers. He has frequently engaged in matters that cross disciplinary and procedural lines, including workplace injury issues and attorney discipline questions. He continues to maintain an active practice in Pennsylvania courts, balancing courtroom work, organizational leadership and pro bono involvement.
He currently practices at Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano and maintains an active litigation practice on behalf of clients in Pennsylvania.
