Victims of Crime: Compassionate, Experienced Advocacy in Pennsylvania. Over 60 Years’ Experience.

If you or a loved one has suffered assault, sexual violence, domestic abuse, child abuse, negligent security–related attacks, workplace violence, or the tragic loss of a family member to a criminal act, Bellwoar Kelly, LLP is here to look out for you. As former prosecutors with decades of combined courtroom experience, we understand how the criminal and civil systems intersect, and we make your voice heard even when a criminal case results in no charges, dismissal, or acquittal. Serving clients throughout Pennsylvania, including Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, we pursue civil remedies (including Title IX where applicable) to hold wrongdoers and negligent institutions accountable while seeking the compensation and closure you deserve. You can count on compassionate guidance, strict confidentiality, and a successful litigation track record. We handle many victims’ civil claims on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we recover compensation. Schedule a free consultation at our West Chester, Pottstown, Kennett Square, or Media office, or we can meet at your home, hospital, or another safe, convenient location. We’re available 24/7 to help you move forward.
