Joshua Tebay is a personal injury attorney at Ciccarelli Law Offices in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Tebay attended Mary Washington College in Fredericsburg, Virginia, where he graduated with academic distinction.

Tebay then graduated in the top 20 percent of his graduating class at Widener University School of Law. He graduated cum laude and earned a distinction in trial advocacy.

In 2007, after passing the PA and NJ bar exams, he went to work for the State’s Attorney’s Office in Baltimore City, MD for a division of the office that prosecutes gun crimes. This was his first hands-on experience with the criminal justice system and affirmed his passion for the protection and advancement of our constitutional rights as citizens, as well as a desire to succeed as a litigator.

This led to a position as an Assistant District Attorney with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office in March 2008. Here, he prosecuted criminal cases on behalf of the citizens of Bucks County. While working independently and as part of a team that handled over 11,000 cases annually.

In court, Josh conducted preliminary hearings, summary trials, bail hearings, grand jury proceedings, waiver trials, motion practice and jury trials. He worked closely with local and state law enforcement to ensure that criminal investigations and prosecutions did not impinge on the constitutional protections afforded to all citizens of the Commonwealth

In March 2012 he accepted employment with the law firm of Wilkes and McHugh, PA – a nationally recognized Plaintiff’s firm specializing in professional negligence and medical malpractice. Wilkes & McHugh concentrates most of their practice on cases involving neglect and abuse of the elderly at nursing homes.

An easy transition for Tebay, he continued fighting for victims of injustice – only this also served as an introduction to the realm of civil practice and litigation.During this time, he was responsible for the prosecution of cases through all stages of pre-lit and litigation, up to and including trial. This included pleadings, motion practice, depositions, discovery and all other aspects of case preparations and development.

Joshua understands that an attorney, we have the responsibility to maintain unquestioned professional and ethical standards in dealings with our clients, other attorneys and the court. Some attorneys, rather than recognizing this as an affirmative duty that comes with the profession, choose to disregard the obligation.

Throughout his legal career, he has practiced with the understanding that one’s ethical standards and reputation are the hallmark of effective representation. This principle is easily discernable from the first moment he meets with a client, whether it is a DUI charge, a drug offense or another charge.

Now, as an attorney at Ciccarelli Law Offices, Joshua primarily focuses on personal injury, wrongful death, auto accidents and animal attacks. He’s also experienced in fighting for the rights of clients in drunk driving accident cases, product liability cases and nursing home abuse and neglect cases.

As a resident of Downingtown, PA, he welcomed the opportunity to come back home and join the civil litigation department of the Ciccarelli Law Firm -a firm that shares his beliefs regarding the ethical and professional responsibilities of all attorneys and bring his years of experience in both the civil and criminal realms of the law to help serve the citizens of Chester County and throughout Pennsylvania.
