Jeffrey Gross is currently the Chair of the Pennsylvania Bar Association Section on Workers ’ Compensation Law . All attorneys at Gross & Kenny LLP are members of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice , and are members of Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Associ - ation . Gross has served on the Philadelphia Bar Association executive committee since 1999 , and is a past chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Workers ’ Compensation Section . He is on the board of directors of both the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association and the Pennsylvania Association for Justice , and also serves on the board of Kids ’ Chance of Pennsylvania , which supports individuals needing assistance for college or vocational education due to a parent having been killed or injured catastrophically at work . Considering the long - term implications of a work - related injury , workers need to have the utmost confidence in the firm they hire to represent them . They also need to understand how much the repre - sentation of a skilled workers ’ compensation attorney will cost . “ We do not charge an hourly rate for representation , ” Gross says . “ Our fee is limited to 20 percent of our recovery for our Jeffrey S . Gross clients . We don’t get paid unless we win the case and unless it’s approved by a judge . The real question to me is : How can you afford not to be represented by a lawyer from our firm ? We don’t get paid unless we get our clients paid . ” Gross & Kenny LLP welcomes referrals from other law firms who require the expertise of attorneys who specialize in workers ’ compensation claims . Not only will Gross & Kenny pay a referral fee to the firm , but it will also keep the firm fully apprised on the status of the case . Between them , Gross and Kenny have decades of experience answering questions that are specific to a client’s case and then taking the case forward . In the end , after they have delivered a favorable outcome for a client , the attorneys ’ reward isn’t so much what the client says , but the subtle gestures of appreciation they offer . “ I once represented a client from Algeria who was a U.S . citizen , ” Gross recalls . “ He was so happy we won his case that when he went back to Algeria to visit his family , he sent me a heavy wooden statue with many different symbols on it designed to ward off evil . That was special to me . “ Our goal is to exceed our clients ’ expectations , ” he continues . “ The look we get from a client when we help them with a settlement that maybe they didn’t expect to win is one of the greatest moments in life . There’s a term for when you have a low expectation , but end up achieving something significant . It’s called ? happiness . ” ? Gross & Kenny LLP 1500 John F .
