Arrive magazine has recognized Patricia M. Giordano, a Philadelphia trial attorney with Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock Dodig LLP, as one of the region’s top women attorneys in the field of personal injury law. Arrive based its “Top Women Lawyers in the Northeast” listings on the comprehensive Martindale-Hubbell® database of Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings„¢. Only those women attorneys rated by their peers as AV® Preeminent„¢ — the highest rating available — were eligible for inclusion in “Top Women Lawyers in the Northeast.” The AV Preeminent rating is a significant accomplishment indicating that a lawyer’s peers rank that attorney at the highest level of professional excellence. In addition to demonstrating the highest ethical standards, AV-rated lawyers possess exceptional legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability and legal experience.

“I am honored to be included among the outstanding women attorneys listed in Arrive magazine,” said Giordano. “As a personal injury lawyer, I am proud to help injured individuals and their families. While my work is a reward in itself, it is gratifying to have my efforts recognized in this manner.”

With extensive litigation experience in the Philadelphia region, and Southern and Central New Jersey, Giordano counsels and represents individuals in complex litigation, including catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice and pharmaceutical errors. She appears on behalf of clients in various trial courts and has authored and argued numerous appellate briefs before the Pennsylvania Superior and Commonwealth courts.
