Matthew Thomas Ness

Attorney Matt Ness is tactical, highly skilled, persuasive and experienced as a criminal defense lawyer. He is by far the best criminal defense attorney in Pittsburgh. He does not sugar coat anything and gives you detailed information about every step in the process. I strongly recommend him if you a...re seeking legal representation. His court presentations and debate strategies in my jury trial were worth every penny. My family and I will forever be greatful to Worgul, Serna and Ness law firm for dismissal of a stalking charge and Not Guilty verdict to the other 3 charges. (Harassment, indecent assult and false imprisonment).

The best I can describe going through marriage fraud is comparing it to cancer. Unless you've ever gone through it, you will never know the kind of pain and destruction it causes you. I have experienced both and went through aggressive chemotherapy treatments. I would rather have cancer. When I had f...ive felony charges and five misdemeanor charges filed against me I knew I needed a good attorney. My son came across Matthew Ness, a partner for Worgul Law Firm. He did a lot of research and was convinced that he was the best choice for what I was about to endure. I wasn't as convinced because anything could be said on the internet and, let's face it, I was just betrayed on the worst way. I was finding out hard to trust anyone. I called Mathew and we met at his office. The more I learned about what I was facing, the more worried I got. None of these charges were true and I began to realize that I may be going to jail for nothing and losing everything I worked hard for all of my life. This was going to ruin my life, my sons life and I would have to put my mother in an managed care facility because I would lose my home and have no one to care for her. I would lose my job and my life would be over. Matthew immediately comforted me. But, he also gave me the sobering possibilities of what could happen. Not once was he ever concerned about losing the case. I watched him in court as he spoke with the staff and judge and fellow attorneys. The more I watched and listened, the more comfort I had that my son sent me the right direction. I can't say that he got back to me as quickly as I'd like. But, I also know that when you ate the one that is facing this kind of situation, a short time seems like eternity. I also realize that he is juggling dozens of cases at once. They deserve their attention as well. He is a very meticulous, strategic attorney. From my perspective, he has the respect of his piers. He did enduring he could to preserve my job and to prevent my innocence from being destroyed by unfair questioning. In the end, I kept my job after being on administrative leave for six weeks. Because of the way it was handled, my employer kept their faith in me. Other than my original arraignment, I never went to jail. All of my charges were dismissed and filed in another venue. But, there is no doubt in my mind that Matthew is prepared to protect my freedom and my best interests. His hourly rate is not cheap. But, you get what you pay for. Freedom and integrity can not be jeopardized for a few dollars. Finally, you never know what life is going to send you. But, it's good to know that there are people out there that look at their jobs as more than an income. They look at it to protect the people that deserve to be protected. They work hard and have an extensive knowledge of the law. They feel your pain. They celebrate your win with you. Their satisfaction is on seeing the right thing done with the least amount of damage to you. They care. Matthew is one of those people. He is very rare. I highly recommend him to defend you.

I consulted with another lawyer in the firm but i dealt with Mr. Ness directly in all my court appearances. By far, well money spent! He was very understanding to what I wanted, listed my options very clearly, and was very confident which made me feel at ease throughout the case. He was able to get m...y charges completely dropped when I in fact, incriminated myself. He handled everything accordingly, there were no surprises, and I left very happy! Highly recommend!

I had him represent me in an offense I was surely goin go away for he was very easy to talk to and understand but he was even better at speaking with the judge and was able to save me from goin away & paying even less of a fine. He fought for me and was willing to keep trying if we did not get the ...results I wanted. But he was so well versed in the laws it only took the first try. I would highly recommend him to anyone and most definitely retain him again If need be He did an overwhelming job for a reasonable cost. I am more than happy with the results of my case the man is blessed with a silver tongue. And because of it I will get to spend Christmas with my family.
