What Petrikin, Wellman, Damico does

Petrikin, Wellman, Damico, Brown & Petrosa is a private partnership law firm founded in 1976 and headquartered in a single office at 109 Chesley Drive (The William Penn Building) in Media, Pennsylvania, near I-476. The firm fields five named attorneys (Steven A. Cohen, Mark D. Damico, Denis M. Dunn, H. Fintan McHugh, Donald T. Petrosa) and operates across six practice areas: Business and Corporate Law, Civil Litigation, Municipal Law, Real Estate, Wills/Trusts/Estates, and Zoning/Land Development. Its geographic focus is Delaware County, Southeastern Pennsylvania, and the broader Philadelphia metropolitan area, with litigation extending into state and federal courts.

The firm serves a heterogeneous client base spanning individuals, families, small and large businesses, banks, REITs, retailers, telecom carriers, healthcare systems, higher-education institutions, and municipal governments. Marquee disclosed logos include Bank of America, McDonald's, Verizon Wireless, Simon Property Group, Brandywine Realty Trust, Aqua America, Haverford College, Swarthmore College, and multiple Delaware County townships (Edgmont, Middletown, Thornbury) for which attorneys serve as solicitors or zoning-hearing-board counsel. Practice strengths cited by the firm include published appellate decisions in Pennsylvania Superior, Commonwealth, and Supreme Courts, plus a high rate of success in land use matters before local regulatory bodies.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional-services billing — hourly fees, fixed fees for specific services, and contingency arrangements for litigation — with no publicly disclosed pricing, technology platform, or AI tooling. The firm has no disclosed funding, M&A, partnership, or award activity, and its marketing footprint is limited to a dated (2011-copyright) law firm website. Ownership is held entirely by the named shareholder attorneys, with no institutional or external investors.
