I am a Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney and partner at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC in downtown Pittsburgh. In this position, I am able to provide aggressive, diligent, and knowledgeable representation to individuals struggling with serious DUI, traffic, violent, and criminal cases throughout the various counties of Western Pennsylvania. However, a main focus of mine - and our firms - is DUI defense.
Since passing the Pennsylvania Bar in 2010, I have handled hundreds of criminal cases, including juvenile, misdemeanor, and felony cases covering DUI, violent crimes, sex crimes, drug crimes, and crimes against property. I’m also an experienced litigator who has successfully taken over 20 jury and bench trials to verdict, and I have successfully briefed and argued criminal appeals before the Superior Court. My experience in handling criminal cases is great and varied - giving me a significant advantage in the legal field.

In a time of need I found the best

"Samir is the real deal! Smair is smart, well prepared and aggressive. If you're looking for an attonrey who truly cares about his clients, and is not afraid to go to trial, call Samir."
"I endorse this lawyer. Samir Sarna is an excellent trial attorney and litigator.
