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...

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!
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt Doebler is extremely conscientious and dedicates his time, energy and efforts in achieving a successful outcome for each of his clients. He is incredibly knowledgable in many areas of law and his diversity is considered an asset in our firm. I am honored to work with such a dedicated attorney. He has a true passion for advocacy of his clients. I highly recommend Matt Doebler."
"Matthew is a professional, reasonable and caring attorney. He is very knowledgeable in his field and I would not hesitate to refer him clients because I know they will be in good hands!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a professional. When you deal with Matt, you know that your issue is going to receive the thorough and well-reasoned analysis that it deserves. Matt also cares deeply about people and his community. I have recommended Matt to my family and friends and have always felt confident that he will take an honest look at the case and not waste your time if you don't have a case. This is a refreshing quality and will ensure that there are as few surprises as possible with your representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt and I have worked together on a complex mass tort project for over five years. He brings to the table energy, ideas and a willingness to be a team player. I would not hesitate to refer a client to Matt. Further, should you be looking for co-counsel and/or local counsel for a matter in his area, I would certainly recommend that you contact him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Matthew has a very strong work ethic, is well regarded and respected amongst his peers, and he demonstrates professionalism. He is a very effective advocate and will not back down from a cause he believes in. I had the opportunity to watch him try a jury and was impressed to say the least."
"Matthew and I went to law school together. In recent years, I have consulted with Matthew on a number of actual and potential cases. He has a knack for explaining complex legal issues in a way that is easy for people to understand and relate to. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
"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."
"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."
