About Keith P. Mecca
Keith Mecca is a personal injury attorney who focuses on cases involving catastrophic construction accidents, workplace accidents, and medical malpractice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Keith is a graduate of Drexel University, where he was a Dean's List student and named to the North Atlantic Conference Honor Roll as a member of the Men's Varsity Lacrosse team. He earned his law degree from the Villanova University School of Law (2001), where he was a staff member of the Villanova Sports & Entertainment Law Journal and served as an assistant coach for the Villanova Men's Varsity Lacrosse team. During law school, Keith also served internships in the District Attorney's Office of Montgomery County and in the Chambers of the Hon. Vincent A. Cirillo, former President Judge of the Pennsylvania Superior Court.
A native of Scranton, PA, Keith extends the reach of Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky into Northeastern Pennsylvania, including Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. His interest in serving injured workers was inspired by his grandfather, who was an Executive Director of the Pennsylvania State Council of Public Employees, an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor (now part of the AFL-CIO). Keith also negotiates commercial real estate transactions as a staff member of Professional Realty Advisors in Wayne, PA.
