also known as Philip Masorti, Phil Masorti
I have been representing the rights of the criminally accused since 1992, and I have been involved in all aspects of criminal litigation from initial investigation to final appeal. I have tried to verdict well-over 80 criminal cases, and I have negotiated pre-trial resolutions in well-over 1,000 other criminal matters. My priority is defending clients with passion and skill against complicated and serious criminal prosecutions. I have dedicated my career to criminal defense and to the science of Trial Advocacy. I believe in representing my clients zealously and maneuvering cases through the criminal justice system as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. I am an active member of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and I regularly complete more than 12 credit hours of ongoing legal education annually. I also have the privilege of teaching Trial Advocacy at Penn State School of Law. In my career, I have won acquittals on major cases including attempted murder, aggravated assault, drug deliveries, rape, sexual assault, conspiracy, arson, terroristic threats, simple assaults, burglary, criminal trespasses, DUI, indecent assault, unauthorized use, furnishing alcohol, recklessly endangering, and other serious charges. As a rule and guiding principle, I represent clients as though they were my own family member.

Don’t do it
One of the worst experiences in my life. Told me everything I wanted to hear at the first visit but once that check cleared, he changed. Wouldn’t get back to me, was 45 minutes late for preliminary hearing without giving me or the court a heads up. Tried to convince me to plea to exactly what I was c...

A lifesaver
A lifesaver may seem to be a strong word, but it is not when you are facing a felony record for life any potential jailtime. When facing a serious case which could have resulted in a felony record, out of talking to at least 10 lawyers, Mr. Masorti stood out the most. His intelligence, grace, and ded...

Professional - Inside and out
Phil is a very professional and well known attorney in State College who went out above and beyond for me with my case. You can tell right off the bat that he is a very intelligent and outgoing lawyer. Phil seems to know everyone in State College/ Centre County and everyone knows him. Phil has given ...
"Attorney Masorti is a force to be reckoned with in the Courtroom. He is a zealous advocate for his clients. I have seen him go above and beyond for his clients in and outside of the Courtroom. He relentlessly pursues his clients goals in every case that I have seen him have when I have been in Court with him. I highly recommend Attorney Masorti as a follow attorney in Centre County."
"Philip is a solid choice for any criminal defense matter. He has a fantastic reputation for getting great results for his clients."
"I endorse Attorney Masorti. We have gone head-to-head in the courtroom in the past and, more recently, have fought side by side in the pursuit of criminal defense. His criminal law intellect is matched only by the empathy he shows to his clients. A vigorous fighter; I endorse Attorney Masorti."
"Philip Masorti is a hard working lawyer. He strives to do the best for his clients. I recently worked with him as co-counsel on a difficult Aggravated Assault While DUI case. The dedication he showed to his client to defend her against very serious charges as well as how he constantly kept his client informed was very impressive and I am not easily impressed. I would definitely work with him again in the future because he cares for his clients and works very hard for them."
"Phil is my "go-to" guy when referring clients who have gotten into some trouble in Centre County. Phil has done an excellent job for all cases that I have referred to him and I would highly recommend his services."
