Bio

Marissa A. Perrone, Director of Business

Advancing the Firm Forward

Marissa Perrone serves as Director of Business and handles the “back-end” of this busy law firm. She initially joined Piscitello Law to develop the firm’s efforts to champion cycling rights. Now, she shares that focus on community outreach and collaboration with Michael Piscitello.

Together, they are working to bring greater awareness for cycling safety and changes needed to local and state legislation.

Background

Marissa’s professional background is rooted in environmental and public policy issues, making her promotion of cycling rights a great fit. Prior to settling in Philadelphia, she lived in Washington, DC and was the Deputy Director for Trade and the Environment for the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). After moving to Philadelphia, she served as Interim Executive Director for Cobbs Creek Environmental Education Center in West Philadelphia. Marissa later worked as Director of Business for the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Quaker organization) where she had oversight of several historical meetinghouse properties.

Familiar with Impact of Crashes

Marissa is intimately familiar with the impact of a car crash on one’s life. In her 20’s she was involved in a car crash caused by a drunk driver. She sustained massive orthopedic injuries including a fractured jaw, knee, and ankle. As a result, she spent years in physical therapy and had multiple operations. Her personal experience makes it easier for her to understand the challenges that many of our clients face after a bike or car crash.
