Andrew F. Ruder
Partner
“I became a lawyer so I could utilize my creativity and advocacy skills to help others in need. No one likes bullies, especially me. As a lawyer at Pond Lehocky Giordano, I have an opportunity each and every day to battle insurance companies that constantly try to take advantage of injured workers who may not fully understand their legal rights. I fight for my clients under any circumstances, provide them honest and frank counsel, and am always accessible to them if they have questions about their cases.”
