The 2027 edition, which is the 33rd, includes 81,620 lawyers across 151 practice areas and 203 metropolitan areas, representing approximately the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the United States.

Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants pertains to attorneys who advocate for injured employees rather than employers or insurance companies. In Philadelphia, such cases navigate the state workers' compensation system, where outcomes often hinge on medical evidence, wage documentation, and strict deadlines that can arise early. Zavodnick's practice focuses on representing injured workers in Pennsylvania, handling claims related to workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and product liability. He earned his law degree from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 2003 and a bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University in 2000, and is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
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 hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and rideshare collisions, as well as workers injured on the job.
