After serving nine years as Chester County Commissioner, Michelle H. Kichline joins Lamb
McErlane PC as Of Counsel. Kichline will focus her practice on municipal and government law,
as well as litigation.

During her time as Commissioner, Kichline served as the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the
County Election Board. She developed regional planning expertise while serving on the
Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) and garnered experience in
transportation-related issues as a board member of the Greater Valley Forge Transportation
Management Association (GVF) and Transportation Management Association of Chester County
(TMACC).

Her service as a board member on both the Delaware River Port Authority and on the Regional Advisory Committee III for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) give her valuable insight into multi-state governmental operations.

Kichline’s work as a board member of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) has broadened her knowledge of all aspects of county government, and her time as both Chair of the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors and the Chair of its Zoning Hearing Board makes her one of the few attorneys in the region with local, county, and state government experience as an elected official.

“I know Michelle had multiple suitors and am thrilled she chose to join us,” said Joel L. Frank, Lamb McErlane’s Chairman and Managing Partner. “There are not many attorneys who possess the diversification and sophistication of experience that Michelle does. Those attributes certainly will serve our clients well.”

Kichline’s leadership in the business and transportation communities has been recognized by multiple organizations. She received the Leadership Award for Elected Service from the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Association; the Senator Robert J. Thompson Public Service Award from the Exton Regional Chamber of Commerce; and the Helena Devereux Women in
Leadership Award from the Main Line Chamber of Commerce.

“I am eager to continue my career with Lamb McErlane, one of the most well-regarded law firms in the region,” said Kichline. “I am looking forward to bringing my unique perspective and knowledge to assist the firm and its clients, as well as continuing my community and regional involvement.”

Kichline attended the University of Pennsylvania for undergraduate studies and earned her JD from Beasley School of Law at Temple University.
