Matt assisted me with a bike versus car accident that resulted in injury. He provided guidance on how the insurance, both auto and health, cover accidents of this variety and how I should present them with health care service providers. He continue to represent me well resulting in compensation both for lost equipment as well as for the impact to my life. I would highly recommend Matt.
Matt helped me with my bicycle-related case and I couldn't ask for a better representative in my corner. He was so helpful each step of the way and helped translate everything that was going on into layman's terms so that I could easily understand what was going on. I always felt like I was his top priority and that feeling cannot be overstated.

Review
I hired Mr. Dolfi to help me with a personal injury matter. Mr. Dolfi made the process so easy for me. Even though my case was small he always returned phone calls and emails promptly and answered all of my questions. I appreciate his advise and everything he was able to accomplish for me,. Without his help I wouldn't have received the settlement I did.

Easy to Work With. Great Results.
When I was struck by a vehicle while cycling, I was not sure how to proceed legally. How do I deal with the insurance companies? What about my medical bills? Am I entitled to compensation for pain and suffering? I reached out to Matt at Dolfi Law based on his cycling blog. Matt made the process easy to understand. He was very patient while I acquired the proper documentation and was readily available to answer any questions I had. Not only were my medical bills paid, I was satisfactorily compensated for my pain and suffering along with the damages to my bike. I found Matt Dolfi to be helpful, competent, and friendly.

Treated more like a friend than a client
A high school buddy referred me to Matt, after I got two herniated discs from getting hit from behind while making a turn, I never had any injuries in my life and this has forever changed me, but thanks to Matt it will be a little easier to get by and pay my medical bills and have some extra to spend time with my small children, we talk more like we are friends than lawyer, client. Never felt like a number to him, not even once. I will continue to stay in touch with him even after we cash the check. Thanks man.

Great guy, great work!
My daughter and I were in an auto accident last year, rear ended and pushed into another vehicle. We had over $5,000 in medical expenses each. The person's insurance did not want to give us anything and did not want to pay our chiropractor bills. Matt was able to negotiate with the insurance and got us each a good settlement. Matt is a genuinely nice guy and is easy to talk to. He understands what you're going through after an accident, has empathy and is willing to push to get you a settlement. He stayed in contact throughout, giving me updates on any progress that was made. I definitely would recommend Matt Dolfi! He was there when we needed him and came through for us. Thanks Matt!

Car accident case, Driven and Accomplish Attorney.
After my car accident, Attoney Matt Dolfi supported my case by giving me excellent legal advice. “The truck should have stopped” he stated. His negotiating skills, kindness, and knowledge of the law will be forever appreciated. I feel so indebted to you for your hard work Mr. Dolfi.

I contacted Matt after being struck by a vehicle while riding my bicycle. He was able to negotiate a much higher settlement than the insurance company was offering me. Our communication was frequent and understandable and the decision making about our options and next steps were always collaborative. Matt would tell me both the potential risks and rewards of each decision we were discussing during my case. I would recommend that anyone who has been injured to contact Matt and not attempt to negotiate with the insurance company on your own.

Pittsburgh Bike Lawyer to my rescue!
I was injured in a bicycle accident earlier this year that involved a car, with the driver at 100% blame. I consulted the Pittsburgh Bike Lawyer, anticipating the fact that dealing with major auto insurance companies can be a painful and a daunting task. Matt gave me some very valuable (and pro-bono) advice in regards to filing claims for personal injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenditure, missed workdays, and property damage. Thanks to his expertise, I was compensated fairly and didn't let the insurance companies pull a fast one on me. Being an avid cyclist himself, he's fighting the good fight to keep the rest of us safe on the roads. I cannot thank him enough.

Thorough, prompt, and helpful
I was involved in a motor vehicle accident where I suffered a head injury and Matt was extremely helpful in walking me through the process and keeping in constant contact as I went through the case. He kept great documentation of everything going on and always kept me in the loop and was always willing to talk something over if I did not understand.

Knee Replacement Failure = No Trauma
Case involved the plaintiff making a claim that a car accident (which we admitted fault to), was responsible for his subsequent knee replacement surgeries. Matthew with testimonies and cross examinations from doctors using medical records over the past 3-10 years was able to prove that the failure was not from any trauma from the incident or even infection but a case of the body rejecting the implant as well as the bonding, plus the patients prior medical history.

Review
Matthew was excellent in handling my case. He explained everything that was happening and everything that was going to happen. He was very professional in the court room but very easy to get along with outside of the professional setting which made things easier. I would recommend him to anyone . He did win the case for me and again very professional about it, not arrogant in any way. He was also very helpful with things that happened after the case was closed.

The New Clarence Darrow?
Well, a bit of hyperbole, perhaps. This was not the Scopes trial. Nevertheless, I was very impressed with Matt's thorough preparation and confident presentation in court. I certainly appreciated how well he kept me informed about what was at issue in the trial, how he was going to proceed, and my place in the process. He had an excellent courtroom manner and knew how to adjust his strategy during give-and-take, especially when listening to testimony. He also gets high marks for assembling evidence for oral and visual presentation to the jury so they could clearly understand the points he wished to make. By all accounts, a very solid and professional performance.

Matthew Dolfi did an incredible job for us
Matt Dolfi handled a complex real estate litigation matter for our firm. He did an outstanding job. His organization skills and trial preparation were unlike anything I have ever experienced. He was in constant contact with me during this process and he returns calls immediately. We will obviously use him again in the future.
