Philip M. 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.
