Knoxville, Tennessee.  The law firm of Lewis, King, Krieg & Waldrop, P.C. is pleased to announce that Lawrence F. Giordano, a shareholder in the Knoxville office, has been selected to become a Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America (LCA), an invitation-only national trial lawyer honorary society.

The LCA selects Fellows based upon “effectiveness and accomplishment in litigation, both at the trial and appellate levels, and superior ethical reputation.”  Membership in the Litigation Counsel of America is limited, representing less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers. The composition of the LCA is aggressively diverse, with recognition of excellence among American litigation and trial counsel across all segments of the bar. The purpose of the LCA is to recognize deserving, experienced, and highly qualified lawyers, to provide an outlet for scholarly authorship of legal articles on trial and litigation practice, to provide additional sources for professional development, to promote superior advocacy and ethical standards in the practice of law, to assist in community involvement by its membership, and to advance a superior judiciary, by taking relevant positions on issues or legislation affecting judicial compensation and/or benefits, as well as those affecting the American litigation processes.

Mr. Giordano’s practice focuses primarily on representing businesses with respect to general and complex business disputes and the representation of school systems with education law issues. He is licensed in Tennessee and has practiced in both the state and federal courts since 1978. Mr. Giordano is an adjunct Professor of Law at the University Of Tennessee College Of Law and currently serves as President of the Board of Trustees of Catholic Charities of East Tennessee.  He received his undergraduate degree with highest honors from Denison University where he was selected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa.  He received his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center.
