Overview

Jessica Smeriglio concentrates her practice on general liability cases and medical malpractice cases, representing the region’s top healthcare systems and hospitals, construction companies and major universities. She has defended numerous cases involving construction site accidents, motor vehicle accidents, slip trip and fall accidents, assault and battery, and medical negligence claims in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Before joining the GMR team, Jessica worked as a commercial claims specialist at a major national insurance company for six years. Her insurance industry background includes investigating and evaluating coverage and liability issues for auto, premises, and general liability claims. This extensive insurance experience has provided Jessica with the unique ability to look at a case from a different perspective than the average defense attorney. As she has handled claims and lawsuits from both sides of the spectrum, she anticipates client needs, giving her an edge in the field. 

Jessica was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers every year since 2020. A Super Lawyers selection is an honor reserved for those attorneys who exhibit excellence in practice. Best Lawyers in America has also recognized her as one of their “Ones to Watch” every year since 2020.

On March 5th, GMR attorneys attended the Philadelphia Association of Defense Counsel's 6th annual women's event. 

The event was moderated by June Essis and the speakers were Jennifer Coatsworth and Renee Garcia. There was a great conversation about what it takes to achieve your goals as a woman in the legal community and how to effectively lead your team. Everyone enjoyed the event and the team bonding that followed.

Goldberg, Miller & Rubin proudly celebrates the women attorneys, paralegals, and staff members at the firm.

Recognizing and promoting diversity in the legal profession is crucial for creating an inclusive and dynamic environment. Empowering women in the legal field not only fosters a more balanced workplace but also brings diverse perspectives and experiences to the forefront.

The Women’s Initiative at GMR was founded to foster the careers of the women attorneys in the firm and to provide support throughout the various stages of their professional lives. GMR has historically strived to maintain a working environment that recruits and promotes women which is exemplified in the overwhelming presence of women in the firm.

It's important to continue supporting initiatives that encourage the professional development and advancement of women in law. The future is female.

Jessica Smeriglio, known around the office as Jess, has been with the firm for 7 years. She is an Attorney who naturally works hard and has a heart full of drive. Here's more about Jess:

"I attended undergrad at Temple with a major in Sports and Recreation Management. My dream was to work for the 76ers and I obtained a side gig as a part of their Fan Squad, enthusiastically greeting fans as they entered the games. Turns out my favorite part was when I was done working and I could watch the game from the lower level seats, even though we were supposed to watch from the nosebleeds. After graduating, and realizing the sports industry was very competitive, I moved back to Camp Hill, PA where I worked at the Hotel Hershey as a Front Desk Supervisor for a couple of years before landing a job as a Commercial Claims Rep for Nationwide. After a few years working, I started thinking about becoming a lawyer and applied to Widener Commonwealth Law School, which was right down the street from Nationwide. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was accepted into the extended division class and went to school part-time at night once I was finished with my work day at Nationwide. The professors and older night class students were the best and we all grew very close which made the experience worthwhile.

One day, I was working on a claim for a slip and fall on snow/ice case. I got a call from the co-defendant’s attorney, Lori Miller. Once the claim was settled, I reached out to Lori to tell her I was studying for the bar and although I was not quite applying for jobs yet, I was interested in her firm. Lori told me to come to Philly for an interview. Seven years later, here I am working with some of the hardest working and talented attorneys in the field. I have grown so much with this firm and I owe it to Lori and Joe Petka for teaching me how to be tenacious representative for our clients, and for growing my confidence with their support and guidance throughout the years. Also, to Lauren Glynn for teaching me how to do auto arbitrations from the ground up, which was no easy feat! Finally, I could never forget my ride or die, Sue Fante. Her positive energy is infectious and unmatched, and she is my favorite person to prank at the office.

Advice for women entering the legal field: Please do not put that you are proficient with Microsoft on your resume. Be more creative and thoughtful, and sell yourself! Always keep your head up and remember that your failures are only opportunities to grow and learn."

Jess's favorite quote: “It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” – Rocky Balboa
