Philip M. Masorti

I have known Mr. MASORTI professionally for over 10 years. I have witnessed him in action in the courtroom defending serious criminal charges. I have worked with him in cases and seen the preparation and dedication he gives to each client. I can only hope that I give the same zealous work ethic whic...h he shows to his cases. His dogged pursuit of justice for his clients is admired by myself and other lawyers in the rural counties to which he travels. His legal judgment and practice should be sought out if you have an unpopular charge and want fair and enthusiastic representation.

I sought out Philip on the basis of word-of-mouth from others when my son was involved in an altercation in which he had to physically defend himself. Philip carefully listened to our story, asked my son some very pointed questions about the circumstances of the altercation, took a few minutes to thi...nk about the case and then told us his view of what he heard from us. It was clearly a case of self-defense but stuff like this is never cut and dried. Philip laid out his ideas for the case and based on his response I hired him right there. Philip gathered information from all the parties that were present at the time of the incident, took photographs of the scene and my son's injuries and proceeded to make his case. He kept us informed after he presented his findings to the officer involved. Charges were never filed. I would recommend Philip to anyone who needs a great defense lawyer.

I reached out to Attorney Masorti about an unfortunate situation I recently encountered. Sometimes we find ourselves dealing with things we never thought we would and sometimes things are not always what they seem. It was very stressful. Mr.Masorti addressed my issues with compassion, true unders...tanding, and honesty, giving me clear direction. After reviewing his qualifications, it is abundantly clear he is a strong force in defending the rights as clients and holds the Commonwealth accountable. He is passionate about achieving the best results for his clients. His record proves his dedication. Phillip Masorti is hands down the man you want fighting for you too! He has restored my faith and hope in my situation and for that I am grateful. Thank you PM!

My name is Daniel, I retained Phil for a criminal matter in Centre County Pennsylvania - no doubt one of the most difficult jurisdictions to try a case, since the entire judiciary is "Pro-Prosecution" ( that is to say the entire panel of jurists favor the prosecution over the defense in the matters t...hat they adjudicate). An Attorney would have to be a legal juggernaut to even represent a client successfully in such an unfavorable milieu. Enter Philip Masorti, Esquire. When I retained Philip Masorti I was facing a strong 4 to 8 years in a State Correctional Institution, and being represented by a reprobate Public Defender, who, without having done any legal research on my case suggested that I accept the first Plea Offer made by the Assistant District Attorney of 2 1/2 to 5 years in an SCI. Upon meeting Phil I was impressed with two things immediately: the Confidence he exuded ( a type of confidence that only comes from the "knowing" and "successful practice" of the legal profession), and, his Preparedness ( having been retained only an hour prior to our first conference, he demonstrated a keen since of familiarity with the surrounding facts of my case, and presented me with a list of case law that would give us the framework of our defense going forward). He found and presented even more defenses as I recounted the events surrounding my arrest and incarceration. I found him to be Professional, Engaging, Contemplative, and Formidable. At Pre-Trial Hearings, where the examination of witnesses were necessary, he was suitably aggressive and respectful in his examinations, and traversed the proverbial labyrinth of cross-examination with a skill that had the Assistant District Attorney prosecuting my case looking several times as if he'd been struck. He displayed an uncharacteristic skill in extracting information from the witnesses that the witnesses did not intend to reveal, and too left them looking as if they also had been struck. In the two weeks following the Pre-Trial Hearing and cross-examination of State Police Officers the Assistant District Attorney made, not one, but TWO Plea Offers, both, considerably less that the one that my previous representation suggested that I accept, and one lower than the other. Today, I am back at home with my family, back at work, and very much thankful, and impressed with the representation of Philip M. Masorti, Esquire. The result obtained in my case was not easily come by, and it is only a skilled, knowledgeable, tactful, and fearless Attorney who can gain such a result for a client, and in Philip Masorti,Esquire I found that quality. The quality of a Fighter...a legal pugilist.

Philip Masorti surpassed my expectations as a lawyer on my case. He's an extremely knowledgable trial lawyer and treats his cases like he was battling for one of his own. Mr. Masorti puts ample time in his preparation and demonstrates/provides great legal advice in and out of the court room. I'd rec...ommend Philip Masorti to anyone who's looking for a top notch lawyer, he is the best! Thanks for everything you have done for me!
