About Peter
Peter Pinnola attended Harvard University for his undergraduate studies and earned an A.B. before moving on to the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he received his J.D. in 1974. He entered the bar environment at a time of change in the mid-1970s, carrying a traditional legal education into a career spent largely in Pennsylvania and the federal courts that serve the region.
After law school he built a practice in the state and federal systems. Over the years he secured admission to several federal forums, including the U.S. Supreme Court, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Those admissions reflect a practice that has touched both trial-level litigation and appellate work. He has been identified professionally as a lawyer with the firm Pinnola & Bomstein, where his name appears in connection with the firm's roster.
Pinnola’s memberships underline the kinds of matters that have occupied his docket. He is a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar, which connects him to the state's legal community. He also holds membership in the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives, a national association associated with attorneys and advocates who handle Social Security issues. These affiliations place him in professional networks that deal with both state-level practice and federally adjudicated benefits and appeals.
Colleagues and court records show a lawyer comfortable in federal filings and appellate briefs as well as in local courtrooms. He has practiced in courts that present a mix of procedural and substantive challenges, from administrative hearings up through appellate review. His background in both Harvard undergraduate study and a 1974 Penn Law degree gives him decades of perspective on how the practice has shifted since the 1970s.
Pinnola’s career spans the seasons of law practice: early training, steady courtroom work, and federal admissions that opened broader venues for clients. He remains connected to professional groups that reflect key parts of his work. He currently practices at Pinnola & Bomstein. His work concentrates on Social Security claims and related matters in Pennsylvania and in the federal courts where he is admitted.
