JJ Gismondi

JJ Gismondi is of counsel to Phillips Froetschel and an associate at Gismondi & Associates. At both firms, JJ’s practice is devoted entirely to representing injured people in cases involving medical malpractice, motor vehicle collisions, premises liability, and other forms of negligence. He recognizes that navigating these matters can often feel overwhelming for clients who have gone through life-changing circumstances and therefore strives to make the process as simple and easy to understand as possible. Prior to his admission to practice, JJ was a certified legal intern in the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office, which allowed him to appear in court on behalf of the Commonwealth in numerous types of proceedings including preliminary hearings, suppression hearings, and guilty plea hearings. He also interned at the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania and further interned for multiple judges in Pittsburgh at both the federal and state trial court levels. JJ earned his J.D. cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and was deemed eligible for election to the Order of the Coif for being in the top 10-percent of his class. He was a member of the University of Pittsburgh Law Review and served as an Executive Editor for the journal during his final year in school. He won Pitt Law’s Moot Court Appellate Competition in 2023 involving submission of an appellate brief and numerous rounds of oral advocacy that culminated in a final round before a panel composed of Pennsylvania state and federal appellate judges. He also received the CALI Award for Future Excellence in the Expert Witness course. He received his undergraduate degree summa cum laude in Political Science from the University of Pittsburgh.
