Stephen R. Miller, the driving force behind Pond Lehocky's Pittsburgh office, entered the realm of workers' compensation law fueled by a deep commitment to the adversarial process that underpins the legal system, safeguarding individual rights and dignity. His role as a dedicated advocate allows him to immerse himself in this arena daily, representing injured workers and ensuring they receive the entitled benefits.
Admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 2000, Mr. Miller's legal journey has been exclusively devoted to workers' compensation law, litigating numerous cases across central and western Pennsylvania. In the initial phase of his career, spanning 15 years, he served as a workers' compensation defense litigator, swiftly advancing to a partner position at a prominent regional firm. This tenure equipped him with a profound understanding of Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws and the intricacies of how the insurance industry manages claims.
In 2016, driven by a desire to champion the cause of injured workers, Mr. Miller transitioned from his longstanding role to establish Pond Lehocky's Pittsburgh office, where he exclusively represents claimants. His commitment to advocacy is further emphasized by his regular contributions to discussions on workers' compensation issues.
Recognized for his legal acumen, Mr. Miller has been selected as a Super Lawyers® Rising Star and featured in Pennsylvania Super Lawyers® multiple times. His excellence has also earned him a place on the Best Lawyers in America® lists for 2018, 2019, and 2020. At the core of his practice is a dedication to being an empathetic, transparent, and unwavering advocate for the best interests of his clients. The most gratifying aspect of his work lies in the ability to assure clients that everything will work out and then actively make it happen, guiding them through what may be one of the most challenging periods of their lives.
