Christopher D. Armstrong, a distinguished attorney, laid the
foundation for his career with a B.S. in Political Science from
Arizona State University, graduating magna cum laude. His early
professional experiences included a significant role as a group
associate and intern at a Fortune 500 wealth management company.
During this time, he contributed to the financial planning of
numerous workers, employees, and soon-to-be retirees, aiding them in
realizing their retirement goals.
Furthering his
education, Mr. Armstrong earned his J.D. from Temple University
Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia. His commitment to honing
litigation skills led him to participate in the Integrated Trial
Advocacy Program (ITAP) during law school. This program equipped him
with valuable experience in public speaking, evidentiary objections,
deposition strategies, and negotiation tactics. Mr. Armstrong's focus
on workers' rights became evident as he immersed himself in
employment law courses.
Early in his
legal journey, Mr. Armstrong joined Pond Lehocky as a law clerk,
undertaking responsibilities such as crafting hearing briefs and
conducting legal research. Following his admission to the
Pennsylvania Bar, he transitioned to the role of associate at Pond
Lehocky in October 2018. In his initial year, Mr. Armstrong
concentrated on Social Security disability cases, passionately
representing disabled individuals. Subsequently, his focus shifted to
workers' compensation litigation, where he actively participated in
hearings, mediations, and depositions on behalf of injured workers.
Currently, Mr.
Armstrong is a pivotal member of the firm's Resolution Department Chair,
dedicating his efforts to workers' compensation settlements and
negotiations. Regularly attending mediations, settlement hearings,
and leveraging his negotiation skills, he takes pride in contributing
to securing thousands of settlements for injured workers.
Beyond his legal
pursuits, Mr. Armstrong resides in Marlton, New Jersey, with his
wife, Amy, and daughter, Isla. A connoisseur of the Philadelphia
restaurant scene, he cherishes moments spent outdoors with his
family. Weekends often find him paddle boarding and unwinding at his
family's lake house, embracing a balance between professional
excellence and a fulfilling personal life.
