About Erica L
Erica L Cicchelli earned her law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 1997, where she concentrated in litigation. Her time at Cooley emphasized courtroom procedure, civil practice and the mechanics of trial work. She completed her studies near the end of the 20th century and entered the Michigan legal market soon after.
She established her practice in 2003 as a lawyer at Cicchelli Law Offices, PLLC. That step marked a move from classroom theory to client-facing work. Over the years she has built a small firm structure that serves local communities in southeast Michigan. The decision to form a PLLC reflected a desire to manage cases directly and maintain closer contact with clients and local courts.
Cicchelli’s early training in litigation informed the way she approaches files and court appearances. She has handled matters that require pleadings, discovery and in-person hearings. Her background indicates steady engagement with trial preparation and advocacy in state forums. She balances courtroom readiness with case management that keeps clients informed about procedural steps and realistic timelines.
Her practice is grounded in the Michigan bar and the circuits that serve Oakland and Macomb counties. Maintaining offices in both counties allows her to handle matters across several local jurisdictions. She works with local clerks, judges and opposing counsel regularly, navigating scheduling and procedural nuances that differ from one county to another.
Colleagues and clients describe her work in practical terms: attention to deadlines, careful drafting and an emphasis on clear communication. She prefers to resolve matters efficiently when possible, but she prepares for hearings and trials when circumstances require it. That combination shapes how cases are evaluated and what paths are pursued on behalf of clients.
Beyond casework, Cicchelli has remained connected to professional circles in Michigan. Her long-term presence in the region has made her a familiar name in the local legal community. She has continued to adapt her practice to changes in court procedures over the years, including electronic filing and remote hearing protocols.
As of 2026 she maintains office locations in Oakland County and Macomb County and practices law across Michigan, handling matters that arise in state courts and local administrative settings.
