There is no fee for nomination or inclusion, and self-nomination is not permitted. The 2027 edition, the 33rd in the publication's history, includes 81,620 lawyers across 151 practice areas and 203 metropolitan areas, representing roughly the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the United States. According to Best Lawyers, this edition was the most selective ever, drawing on 3.8 million evaluations from more than 32,000 voting lawyers.
Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants pertains to attorneys who advocate for injured workers, as opposed to those representing employers or insurers. In Philadelphia, such cases navigate the state workers' compensation system, where outcomes often hinge on medical evidence, wage records, and strict deadlines that can arise early in a claim. Zavodnick's practice focuses on representing injured workers in Pennsylvania workers' compensation claims, as well as handling motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall incidents, and product liability matters.
Zavodnick earned his Juris Doctor from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 2003 and his bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University in 2000. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. His firm, Zavodnick & Lasky Personal Injury Lawyers, serves clients throughout Philadelphia and surrounding counties.
The firm, which began as a family practice founded by Howard and Sandra Zavodnick, is now led by their son, Ryan Zavodnick, and son-in-law, Todd Lasky. It represents individuals injured in car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and rideshare accidents, as well as workers injured on the job. The firm's office is located at 123 S Broad St #1220 in Philadelphia. Additional information can be found at https://zavodnicklaw.com.
