About William
William Kovalcik trained as a lawyer at Notre Dame Law School, where he earned his J.D. in 1985. Before law school he studied at Saint Vincent College, graduating in 1982 with a B.A. in English and a minor in political science. Those academic years set the stage for a long practice in Pennsylvania law.
After law school he established his career in Pennsylvania. Over the years he built experience handling matters arising under the state's workers' compensation system. He is a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar and holds a professional certification from the Pennsylvania Bar Association as a Certified Workers Compensation Specialist.
Kovalcik practices at O Connor Law. His listing at that firm identifies him as counsel who handles workers' compensation issues. The certification he holds is a formal recognition from his peers and the bar that he has specialized knowledge in that area of practice.
Colleagues and clients have come to rely on his familiarity with Pennsylvania's administrative procedures and hearing processes. He appears regularly before state agencies and administrative law judges on behalf of clients seeking benefits or defending claims. His work requires attention to medical records, procedural deadlines, and statutory frameworks that govern eligibility and compensation.
He maintains active membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar. That ongoing engagement keeps him connected to developments in state practice and to the community of practitioners who handle similar matters. The specialty certification through the bar is renewed under that organization's standards and signals a continuing engagement with the field of workers' compensation law.
Kovalcik's legal education and long-term practice in Pennsylvania have shaped a practice centered on the state's workers' compensation system. At O Connor Law he handles claims, prepares for hearings, and advises clients on procedural and evidentiary questions that arise in compensation disputes. He continues to practice in Pennsylvania and devotes his work to workers' compensation matters.
