Alexandria MacMaster

Alexandria MacMaster is a Partner at Laffey Bucci D’Andrea Reich & Ryan dedicated to representing survivors of sexual abuse, child abuse, human trafficking, and systemic civil rights violations. She is an experienced civil litigator and trial attorney with a history of successfully obtaining justice for victims of crimes against individuals, public entities, and private corporations that profit from exploitation. She represents survivors of significant trauma in actions seeking to hold accountable the institutions and entities that enabled their abuse, including religious organizations, residential treatment facilities, hospitals, universities, sports organizations, daycare centers, and schools.  Licensed in her home state Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey, Alex has represented survivors in high-stakes federal and state cases across the country, with experience in courts spanning North Carolina, Florida, California, Massachusetts, Virginia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Delaware.

Prior to joining Laffey Bucci D’Andrea Reich & Ryan, Alexandria was an Assistant District Attorney at the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office and served as their Captain of the Family Protection Unit.  She specialized in prosecuting and investigating crimes involving sexual assault, child abuse, possession and dissemination of child pornography, and domestic violence. She has successfully brought dozens of jury and bench trials to verdict—including homicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence, child abuse, white-collar crime, and cases involving firearms and narcotics.

In addition to her litigation practice, Alexandria frequently presents at Continuing Legal Education programs across the country to fellow attorneys. She has led sessions on the importance of trauma-informed advocacy in civil litigation, ensuring attorneys approach survivors with sensitivity while strengthening case strategy. Alexandria also lectures on emerging legal issues, including the application of rape shield protections in the civil sector and the evolving defense tactics used in sexual abuse litigation. Drawing on extensive courtroom experience, she provides practical guidance to help fellow attorneys anticipate and overcome defense strategies designed to re-traumatize survivors or undermine their credibility.

Alexandria is a proud graduate of Boston College and Widener University School of Law. She is an active member of the American Association for Justice, the National Crime Victim Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice, the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, and the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association.
