Mr. Gismondi has been a frequent interview guest on local television, and his cases have been featured nationally on the ABC Evening News, Good Morning America, 20/20, The O’Reilly Factor, CNN, and in People Magazine.
In a national rating of lawyers’ abilities, the nation’s oldest and most-recognized reference source on lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, gives Mr. Gismondi an A/V rating, which is their highest rating for both legal ability and personal qualities such as reliability, diligence and ethics. He has also been named a Pennsylvania "Super Lawyer."
Attorney Gismondi has been chosen by his peers for many leadership positions in professional organizations. In 1995, he was elected President of the 7,000-member Allegheny County Bar Association, and prior to that he was chosen as President of the Pa. Trial Lawyers Association, Western Pa. Chapter. He is the former Chairman of the Trial Advocacy Foundation of Pa., and Mr. Gismondi currently serves as the Chairman of the Medical Malpractice Section of the Pa. Trial Lawyers Association. He is also an invited member of the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County.
