UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 18, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who, the trusted biographical authority documenting accomplished professionals since 1899, is proud to announce that Alexandria J Crouthamel, Esq., founder and owner of Crouthamel Law Offices, P.C., has been interviewed and honored for outstanding leadership and advocacy in family law and criminal defense. Ms. Crouthamel's recognition reflects a record of sustained professional achievement, visibility and service to clients and the community.
Based in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, Ms. Crouthamel leads an all-female law firm she has built for performance, compassion and courtroom readiness. A high-volume trial lawyer, she spends eight to 10 hours a day in court, handling complex and emotionally charged matters across criminal defense, high-asset divorce, protection-from-abuse (PFA) petitions, custody and Children & Youth cases. The practice draws 50 to 100 consultations each week, underscoring her reputation for diligent preparation and aggressive representation.
In her Marquis Who's Who interview, Ms. Crouthamel shared the philosophy behind her results-driven approach: "Mediocre is not me." She credits her family for instilling a relentless work ethic and describes a practice culture that leaves no stone unturned-whether that means surfacing a critical text message, a photo or testimony. "If it's a legal problem, you best believe I'm going to challenge it," she added, emphasizing respectful but firm advocacy, even when that means testing assumptions in the courtroom.
Ms. Crouthamel's pathway to law began with forensic science, earning a BS in forensic science with a minor in criminal justice from Alvernia University in 2015. She subsequently completed a pivotal internship with a Court of Common Pleas Judge, which sparked her passion for the courts. She obtained her JD at Widener University Delaware Law School in 2019 and was admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Middle Districts of Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court of the United States.
Her entrepreneurial drive is equally notable. In 2022 and at age 29, Ms. Crouthamel established and scaled Crouthamel Law Offices P.C., where she now leads two associates and their team across paralegal, legal assistant and client services roles. Her visibility includes appearances on Court TV and Nancy Grace, and high-profile features such as "Top Professionals" in The Wall Street Journal, Vogue Magazine, and a January 2024 cover of Suburban Life Magazine. She has been nominated for Super Lawyers and recognized among Lehigh Valley Style's "Successful Women in the Lehigh Valley."
A committed community leader, Ms. Crouthamel previously served as legal adviser to the Board of Trustees of UHA Ministry, a board member and secretary at Stephen's Place and coached and mentored at Northampton County Prison. Her professional affiliations and formative experiences include Phi Alpha Delta, Mock Trial and editorial leadership for the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law, where she earned the Bronze Superior Editor Award.
Ms. Crouthamel also briefs clients and peers on evolving Pennsylvania family-law dynamics. She notes that August 2024 brought significant developments-colloquially referenced as "Kayden's Law"-that mandate the presentation of any abuse evidence in custody trials, shifting what was once discretionary to required consideration. She also observes a legislative move to reduce custody factors from 16 different factors to 12, prompting updated trial preparation strategies. While broader divorce statutes have remained relatively stable in recent years, she points to ongoing state budget uncertainty that may affect human-services staffing that intersects with family-law matters-factors she monitors closely on behalf of clients.
Looking ahead, Ms. Crouthamel is expanding into personal injury and estate work, while maintaining her core strengths in family and criminal defense. Her five-year vision includes opening additional offices and growing a top-tier trial team.
"Alexandria Crouthamel exemplifies the qualities Marquis Who's Who is proud to chronicle: uncompromising client advocacy, courtroom excellence and a builder's mindset," said the Marquis Who's Who editorial team. "Her trajectory-opening a firm in her twenties, scaling an all-female practice and leading from the front in court-sets a powerful example for the next generation of lawyers."
