Biography
Alexandria Crouthamel is a tenacious and empathetic advocate known for her unwavering dedication to her clients and her deep commitment to justice. As the founder of Crouthamel Law Offices—an all-female firm with an office in Bethlehem—Alexandria has built a reputation for her fierce representation, compassionate counsel, and ability to guide clients through complex legal challenges in both criminal and family law.
With a strong background in litigation and a passion for protecting her clients’ rights, Alexandria’s practice is rooted in customer service. “I’m a single attorney, but I have several associates and staff under me, and we’re all devoted to answering clients’ questions in a timely manner and moving their cases forward. If it matters to you, it matters to us.”
Alexandria earned her undergraduate degree from Alvernia University and her law degree from Widener University Delaware Law School. Before founding her firm, she gained valuable courtroom experience working in the Northampton County Public Defender’s Office. Known for her preparedness and determination, she is especially adept at navigating high-stakes, emotionally charged cases involving custody, divorce, PFA (Protection from Abuse) orders, and other serious legal matters.
She doesn’t sugarcoat her advice—clients value her honesty and direct communication. “Whether it’s a divorce or a criminal matter, my clients are dealing with serious issues,” she says. “Nobody calls my office happy. They need answers, strength, and solutions—and that’s what I provide.”
Alexandria has been widely recognized in the legal community for her accomplishments. She has been honored as one of Lehigh Valley Style’s “Most Influential Women,” earned a place in Marquis Who’s Who Top Lawyers, and was named a 2023 “Woman of the Year” by Suburban Life Magazine. Her story has also been featured in podcasts and documentaries highlighting influential professionals in the Lehigh Valley.
When she’s not in court or at the office, Alexandria leads a busy life with her husband, daughter, and animals. You can follow her on Facebook and TikTok for more insights into her work and life.
Alexandria is driven not only by results, but by a strong sense of purpose and service. As she puts it: “I’ve always been a workhorse, but I never imagined I would be running a successful all-female law firm of my own. It’s an exciting time, and I’m leaning into it.”
