John Frommer has been litigating Pennsylvania workers’ compensation and personal injury cases for more than thirty years. His workers’ compensation practice has grown to include all of Eastern and Central Pennsylvania.
Since 1997 he has been an adjunct instructor of trial advocacy at Penn State Dickinson Law. There he teaches young lawyers trial tactics and courtroom skills including direct and cross-examination of witnesses, such as IME doctors. He was named to the Order of the Barristers and has been a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer for Workers’ Compensation.
Frommer’s commitment to helping clients is reflected in the free legal service he provides in his community. He has received the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Pro Bono Award three times and has twice been named the Dauphin County Bar Association’s Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year. He has served two terms by appointment of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court as a Disciplinary Hearing Committee Member where he heard cases involving lawyer misconduct. He continues to lecture on current workers’ compensation topics throughout the Commonwealth.
Penn State Dickinson Law and Penn State Law are reunifying to operate as Penn State University’s single law school, which will be known as Penn State Dickinson Law. While ABA approval for the reunification is pending, both schools are currently fully accredited. We submitted an application for acquiescence to operate as a single law school in July 2024 and plan to enroll a unified class in Fall 2025. Once reunification is complete, the separate faculties of each school will be members of the reunified Penn State Dickinson Law faculty.
