Ruben Honik has nearly a quarter century of experience as a civil trial lawyer representing plaintiffs across a broad range of tort cases. A founding partner of Greitzer & Honik, Mr. Honik merged his practice with that of Richard Golomb (declared among the Top 10 lateral moves for the year by the Legal Intelligencer) in 1998 to form Golomb & Honik. While at the firm, and for many years before that, Mr. Honik has litigated cases involving defective products, medical and other professional negligence, civil rights violations, and vehicle and highway design defects. In the more recent past, Mr. Honik has developed a national practice representing victims of environmental harm, particularly those exposed to the toxin beryllium in residential and workplace settings.
In 2001, Mr. Honik was co-lead counsel in Cullen v. Whitman Education Group, a federal RICO class action certified in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; it resulted in the largest settlement of its kind against a publicly traded national chain of trade schools. More recently, in Whisnant, et al. v. General Chemical Corp., Mr. Honik represented thousands of chemically exposed oil refinery workers in connection with individual and class claims certified for settlement in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
A past president of the Philadelphia Trial
Lawyers’ Association and the current President-Elect of the Pennsylvania Trial
Lawyers’ Association (he will serve as President in 2006-07), Mr. Honik is a frequent
lecturer. In addition, he was a long-time editor
of The Verdict.
