Firm History
The law firm of Schmidt & Kirifides was founded in January 1997. Vasil and Mark knew that they worked well together, and wanted to direct their talents toward helping injured workers and their families. They launched Schmidt & Kirifides with the goal of providing high-quality representation and personal attention to those injured on the job.
In March 1997, Vasil and Mark added Eric Pearson to their firm. Jonathan
Koutcher joined in September of that year. Later, the firm name changed
to Schmidt, Kirifides, Pearson & Koutcher. Since its inception, Schmidt,
Kirifides, Pearson & Koutcher has exceeded its founders' goals. The
tight-knit firm enjoys an outstanding reputation in the Workers' Compensation

What is Workers' Compensation?
Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act requires nearly all employers to provide Workers' Compensation insurance for their employees. The insurance provides full medical, total and partial disability, permanent disfigurement and physical rehabilitation benefits to injured employees, provided their Workers' Compensation claims are approved. In the event that a worker is killed on the job, death benefits are payable to the worker's surviving spouse and dependents.
Workers' Compensation is also known as workers' comp, workman's compensation, workman's or workmen's comp, and workmen's compensation.
