DiCello Levitt LLP is a U.S. plaintiffs' litigation law firm founded in 2017 by Mark DiCello and Adam Levitt, operating as a private limited liability partnership headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The firm represents individuals, businesses, and public entities in complex civil litigation, with practice areas spanning class actions, mass torts, personal injury, securities and financial products litigation, product liability, antitrust, whistleblower/qui tam, and privacy and cybersecurity.

The firm's core operating assets include the DiCello Levitt Trial Center, a national trial hub with courtroom facilities in Cleveland and Chicago that applies focus grouping, mock trials, and "science-informed" trial preparation methodologies to inform case strategy.

The firm earns revenue primarily through contingency fee arrangements on class action, mass tort, and personal injury matters, where fees are a percentage of settlements or verdicts, with supplemental hourly/billable engagements for certain litigation matters. The customer base is broadly distributed across thousands of individual plaintiffs and a growing roster of state attorneys general and municipal clients. There is no public revenue or external funding disclosure; ownership rests with founding and managing partners, and the firm has no parent company or institutional backing indicated in the data.

The lawsuits, filed by the law firm DiCello Levitt, accuse county employees of rape and retaliation while highlighting a lack of accountability that has led to hundreds of millions in potential costs. This legal crisis coincides with the imminent collapse of the independent Juvenile Justice Commission oversight board due to funding withdrawal and planned resignations.DicellolevittSex Trafficking and Abuse by Fashion MogulDiCello Levitt filed a lawsuit against fashion mogul Peter Nygard, alleging an international sex trafficking operation.

Thomas and Robert G. Wilson, who collectively bring more than 50 years of SEC experience. The team has represented whistleblowers in some of the SEC's highest-profile cases and has helped the government secure more than $2 billion in monetary sanctions, including precedent-setting achievements such as the first officer of a public company to win a whistleblower award. The addition positions DiCello Levitt to offer what it describes as a comprehensive, one-stop resource for whistleblowers seeking to report corporate wrongdoing through federal agencies.Bloomberg Law NewsWhistleblower Lawyers Look to Long Term as SEC Rejects CasesChicago-based law firm DiCello Levitt is merging with Washington-based SEC Whistleblower Advocates PLLC to expand its financial whistleblower practice, with firm founder Jordan Thomas joining as part of the deal.

On September 28, 2025, MoonLake announced that SLK failed to demonstrate competitive efficacy relative to the traditional monoclonal antibody BIMZELX in its Phase 3 VELA program, causing the stock to crash $55.75 per share, an 89.9% decline, to close at $6.24 on September 29, 2025. The lawsuit, brought by DiCello Levitt LLP on behalf of investors who purchased shares during the class period, claims defendants falsely represented SLK's Nanobody structure as conferring superior clinical benefits over conventional monoclonal antibodies.GlobeNewswireSHAREHOLDER ALERT: DiCello Levitt LLP Announces That A Shareholder Class Action Has Been Filed Against James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) Following “Destocking” RevelationA class action lawsuit has been filed against James Hardie Industries plc in federal court, alleging the company and certain senior executives violated securities laws by issuing false and misleading statements about the strength of its North America Fiber Cement segment between May 20 and August 18, 2025.

On August 19, 2025, James Hardie disclosed a 12% sales decline in the segment, attributed to "normalization of channel inventories," and warned of continued weakness, causing its share price to plummet more than 34% and resulting in massive investor losses.
