About Lawrence J.
Lawrence J. Moran earned his Juris Doctor from Villanova University School of Law in 1977 after completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Scranton in 1974. Those academic credentials bookend the formal beginning of a long legal career that includes practice in both Pennsylvania and federal courts.
He is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit, the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the courts of Pennsylvania. That range of admissions reflects steady engagement with appellate and trial-level practice over many years. He also holds the Civil and Criminal Trial Advocate certification from the National Board of Trial Advocacy, a credential tied to demonstrated trial experience and examination by the NBTA.
Moran has served in a variety of roles in private practice. He currently holds the title Of Counsel at Lenahan & Dempsey P.C. In that capacity he contributes to the firm’s litigation efforts and appears in matters that require courtroom experience. His bench and bar admissions allow him to take cases in state trial courts, federal district court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and on appellate panels.
Professional affiliations form a steady backdrop to his practice. He is a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar and belongs to the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Those memberships place him in professional networks that center on courtroom work and complex civil matters. He has long maintained connections within Pennsylvania’s legal community while also practicing before federal tribunals.
Colleagues describe him as an attorney who brings courtroom-tested experience to every case he handles. His NBTA certification covers both civil and criminal trial practice, and it signals a continuing relationship with trial procedure and evidentiary advocacy. Over the years he has balanced appellate filings with first-chair trial responsibilities in federal and state venues where he is admitted.
Outside of court, Moran’s background reflects steady legal study and professional engagement. His education at Villanova and Scranton provided the formal training. Bar admissions and certification shaped the practical work that followed. Today he remains active in litigation, counseling clients and appearing in trial and appellate settings as Of Counsel at Lenahan & Dempsey P.C.
His current practice focuses on trial work in Pennsylvania and in the federal courts where he is admitted.
