Fantastic experience with hiring Matthew Doebler

We wanted to find a local law firm where we would be more than just a number or just another case. We didn't want to have to travel into Pittsburgh for one either. We found Benjamin Levine Law in Cranberry Township and got connected with Matthew Doebler. Matthew was amazing at every step of the proce...ss! He took the time to explain things, reassure us, and always kept us updated. He even came to us for the first meeting since we were unable to go to him at that point. He worked extremely hard and fought for us with true passion and caring. We are so pleased with our entire experience. We stopped in the office a few times and all of the ladies there are so kind and helpful. We highly recommend Benjamin Levine Law and Matthew Doebler!

Thanks to Matthew for a Highly Successful Outcome

We hired Matthew to lead us in a wrongful death case of a family member and he did an impeccable job which realized a very successful result, after a lot of hard and capable work. Matthew is a very professional, friendly, trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer who demonstrates an admirable devotion to... the client and a dedication to success that clearly delivers. I would highly recommend Matthew on any occasion.

Posted by Alyson | December 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Outstanding Attorney

Matt defended me on a relatively minor charge that had major repercussions for me if I lost. Matt listened to me and my concerns, he answered all of my questions so that I understood everything that was going on, he was thorough with his preparation, he presented a cogent argument and ultimately d...efeated a DA and witness that were EXTREMELY intent on winning at any cost. I felt that he was truly invested in my wellbeing as well as seeking truth and justice. I highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking an experienced trial attorney.

10/10

This man is an excellent lawyer. He provided great information regarding my case, and always made himself readily available to talk, no matter the issue or circumstance. He genuinely cares about his clients, and his clients' families and it is reflected in his work. Thanks to him, my case closed with... the best possible outcome for me. He is very intelligent and diligent in his work, and I highly recommend this man for any of your legal troubles.

Posted by Samuel | June 08, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

You can trust this man.

I hired Matt for a DUI case. He handled the case professionally and cost effectively. Matt was a pleasure to work with and be around. He was surprisingly quick to respond to my questions and concerns. Matt's presence eased my fear and anxiety throughout the process. 5 stars!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I had a case with Matt that is just now winding up. As an adversary, he comported himself with the utmost courteousness and responsiveness, while at the same time being one of the most able adversaries that I have encountered. Matt made a presentation in a mediation with the goal being to convince my codefendant's counsel that Matt could establish in court that this codefendant was negligent. That presentation was the best one that I had ever seen in my 42 years as an active trial lawyer. Today, he is a very skilled younger attorney. He will only get better."

Litigation lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked closely with Matthew Doebler for 3 years as a criminal prosecutor in the Kings County District Attorney's Office in New York. What is evident from that time is Matther Doebler's exacting standards for himself personally and his role as an attorney. He has strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate his thinking with clarity, creativity and effectiveness. He thrives when challenged and takes great pride in being that attorney who takes the extra step, which was often the key to his success as a prosecutor. Matthew Doebler is generous with his time and knowledge towards other co-workers, often enjoying the insight and new approaches that team work can result in when thinking through issues. His ability to work effectively both independently and with a group, his attention to detail, his successful track record and passion for law make Matthew Doebler an asset to any firm."
