Biography

About Francis N. Ciprero — Over 24 years of Pennsylvania car accidents experience

Frank N. Ciprero, a Partner at Pond Lehocky, found his calling as an attorney based on a sense of duty instilled by his father—to stand up for those who couldn't stand up for themselves. At Pond Lehocky Giordano, he channels this commitment into making a substantial impact on people's lives, leveling the playing field against insurance giants and ensuring his clients, who might otherwise face a David vs. Goliath situation, receive the advocacy they deserve.

Graduating from Dickinson College in 1995 with a B.A. in anthropology, Mr. Ciprero earned his law degree from Dickinson School of Law of The Pennsylvania State University in 1998. His legal journey began as a legal intern for the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Division. Subsequently, he became a senior associate at a mid-sized defense firm, handling workers’ compensation and general liability defense litigation in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Later, he joined a leading regional firm, focusing exclusively on Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law.

In June 2010, Mr. Ciprero joined Pond Lehocky, where he now serves as a Partner. His practice remains dedicated solely to Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law, advocating for the rights of injured workers. Recognized as a certified specialist in Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation by the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Section on Workers’ Compensation Law, Mr. Ciprero has earned a place on both the Super Lawyers Rising Stars and Pennsylvania Super Lawyers lists. He is admitted to practice law in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Active in the legal community, Mr. Ciprero is a member of the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and Montgomery County Bar Associations. He also holds memberships in the Pennsylvania Association for Justice and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association. Sharing his expertise, he has been a guest lecturer at Villanova Law School on Pennsylvania workers’ compensation law and frequently speaks on workers’ compensation issues.

Beyond his legal pursuits, Mr. Ciprero is an accomplished ultra runner, participating in some of the largest and most challenging ultra races in the U.S., with distances ranging up to 100 miles. The determination and effort displayed in his running endeavors mirror the zeal he brings to representing his clients, emphasizing his commitment to leveling the playing field against insurance companies.
