Jordan Strokovsky, Esquire

Last night I had the honor of receiving the Elizabeth Morris Award in recognition of my contributions to animal welfare over the last decade.
Thank you, .
You gave me my first board seat, and, most importantly, my dog Belle six years ago.

Happy to be a sponsor for ’s Fur Ball. We had a great time!

January 5, 2022 Fairmount Fire

Two years ago today, Philadelphia experienced one of its most catastrophic events in history. Twelve people, many of whom were children, died in a fire. At the funeral, there were only ten caskets, as the babies were laid to rest with their mothers.

The fire occurred in an apartment belonging to the Philadelphia Housing Authority. 14 people were crammed into a small apartment with a single means of egress. There were no operating smoke detectors or sprinklers. 

This tragedy could’ve been avoided.

I represent one of the survivors and the estates of his four dead children. I’ve seen too much death and too many horrific injuries throughout my career, but this tragedy is unlike any other.

I hope PHA changes its practices before something like this unnecessarily strikes again. Being less fortunate financially shouldn’t cost families their lives.
