Joe will fight for you!

Joe did a great job with my case. He fought for me, and won. I was falsely charged with a crime that could have affected my employment, drivers license, and financial aid for school. I was pleased with the outcome because he believed in me and fought for me until he was able to come to an understandi...ng that both the DA and I could accept. This was not a plea bargain either! I know that it could have gone horribly wrong without him! Thanks Joe!

Aggravated Assault...

I highly recommend Joseph Sembrot if your seeking skilled legal defense. I was a client for a little over a year. He did some great work for me. Mr. Sembrot managed to suppress some charges while lowering others and secured me a very sweet deal with the DA. Although we never made it to trial(because ...it wasn't necessary), I have full confidence in this mans ability to represent me.

Fantastic and responsive counsel

Attorney Sembrot, through his extensive legal knowledge and personal dedication, secured for me a favorable resolution of two misdemeanor criminal charges. Throughout his representation, he was both incredibly approachable and communicative, updating me of my case progress, while simultaneously helpi...ng to ease the tension that naturally accompanies any criminal charge. His mastery of PA criminal procedure and his kind demeanor made him both a tremendous legal asset as well as an excellent guide. The criminal arena at first seemed counter intuitive and insurmountable. Attorney Sembrot changed that by bringing perspective and a sense of security. For those reasons, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing an exceptional legal team.

Excellence. Pure and simple

Attorney Sembrot fought hard (yet remained a gentleman) against an unreasonable insurance company. He kept me informed and secured a settlement that was greater than I expected. Very prepared. He was ready for trial and the insurance company knew it! Excellent advocate- TRUSTWORTHY person.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
