She represents seriously injured infants, children and adults in medical malpractice matters, such as obstetrical negligence, delayed diagnosis of cancer, emergency room errors and patient abuse by therapists, as well as victims injured by defective products or by catastrophic auto and boating accidents.

The first woman in Pennsylvania to be invited into the prestigious International Academy of Trial Lawyers, Pichini was elected the organization's first woman officer in 2003 and became the first woman President in 2011. Pichini has also been invited to join the American College of Trial Lawyers and ABOTA (American Board of Trial Advocates), and is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
