PHILADELPHIA (April 2008) – The Philadelphia law firm of Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock & Dodig is pleased to announce the addition of Patricia M. Giordano, Esquire and Thomas Martin, Esquire to its team of litigators. Both are skilled trial lawyers who have been helping severely injured clients throughout the mid-Atlantic region for several decades.

“We are delighted to add such accomplished litigators to the fold at Feldman Shepherd,” said managing partner Alan M. Feldman. “Their outstanding records of professional achievement compliment our practice and will help us continue to provide strong representation to our clients. Tom and Trish contribute additional depth to our already strong medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, and class action practices.”

Giordano focuses her practice on complex civil matters including catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, products liability, pharmaceutical errors, and toxic torts. She is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and has extensive trial and appellate experience. Giordano also enjoys an AV Rating – the highest available – through Martindale Hubbell’s peer review rating system. She is active in bar association, community and cultural affairs.

“In my opinion, Feldman Shepherd is one of the best plaintiffs’ firms in Pennsylvania. There is a team spirit, with everyone helping and supporting one another to get the best results for our clients,” Giordano observed. “And the firm’s impressive record of substantial settlements and verdicts speaks for itself.”

As a sole practitioner for the past twenty years, Martin has represented individuals in a variety of civil matters, concentrating in personal injury consumer and employment litigation. He has tried cases throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey’s state and federal courts, and argued appeals before the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth, Superior and Supreme courts. Martin has also spent time resolving disputes as a mediator and arbitrator.

“After many years practicing on my own, it is a pleasure to join this group of exceptional plaintiffs’ attorneys,” Martin said. “I look forward to the challenge of working as a member of a team prosecuting complex class actions as well as contributing to the sophisticated personal injury practice for which this firm is so deservedly renowned.”
