Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

Lee Ciccarelli is the founder of Ciccarelli Law Offices: a Pennsylvania Litigation Law Firm focusing in Personal Injury, Automobile Accident Injury and Workers Compensation law. We take on the toughest cases and fight for our clients when they need a fighter.

Ciccarelli Law Offices is as unique as its founder in its sincere devotion to serve the public, fight for injustice and get results. Ciccarelli Law Offices was founded in Chester County Pennsylvania approximately ten years ago after Lee Ciccarelli himself sought a vision for a law practice devoted to the clients it served.

Lee Ciccarelli began his practice after some ten years of litigation experience in trial and at the negotiating table in disputes and forums throughout the state from Philadelphia in the east to west of Harrisburg; and from Williamsport and Coudersport in the North to York, Lancaster, West Chester, and Media in the south. Ciccarelli's experience in trial both in the area of personal injury, automobile accident, medical malpractice and in criminal defense, serves as a foundation for a firm with the integrity, passion and experience needed for the toughest of legal battles.

Born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and the oldest of eight children, Lee was instilled by his parents with a keen desire to seek the truth, demand fairness, pursue justice, and serve others.

Over fifty years ago, Lee's uncle and his father, a veteran of WWII, an entrepreneur, and a deeply religious man, both rose from the shadows of the Great Depression to begin a family tradition of excellent customer service and long term client relationships. Their devotion to satisfying their patrons, treating them with respect and honesty, and maintaining a high standard for themselves and their clients was passed on to each to their children.

No less important to his father, Pasqualino and Uncle Clem was that their children be well educated and devoted to the service of others. Invigorated by this purpose, Lee pursued an education at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA where he combined a curriculum of chemistry and the sciences with American history, focusing on Civil Rights and the Labor Movement, and the Women's Movement.

Since his graduation from the George Washington University Law school, he has successfully represented individuals in personal injury and criminal defense matters including automobile accident, premises liability, medical malpractice, consumer protection, and DUI and criminal cases, in more than twenty-five (25) counties throughout central and eastern PA.

Lee's Law Firm is located in Chester County Pennsylvania with its primarily locations being West Chester, Kennett Square, and Coatesville but also has satellite locations in Lancaster (Lancaster County), Plymouth Meeting and King of Prussia (Montgomery County), Springfield and Radner (Delaware County), Center City Philadelphia and Williamsport (Lycoming County). Lee's primary focus is currently Personal Injury and Motor Vehicle Accidents and the attorney practice area of his firm includes Criminal Defense and DUI, Family and Divorce Law, Workers Compensation, Employment and General Litigation.

Lee welcomes your calls and questions. Feel free to contact Lee for a free consult on your legal matter including advice on injury law and accident law; advice on workers compensation law and work injuries; and advice on criminal law, criminal charges and dui and traffic law.

Lee proudly acknowledges his Italian-American roots and relates to his family's history of determination, persistence, hard work, humility and honesty amidst day to day struggles. These are attributes that Lee upholds every day for his clients.
