High level Preparation & Attention to Details

Matthew Clemente far exceeded my expectations of a criminal defense attorney. He was honest with what his expectations were with my son case and walked not only my son through every step of the process but me as well. He was always quick with responses to any questions I or my son had. Mattew Clement...e made us feel like we were his only client. Mattew was very compassionate but tough in the court room exactly what my son wanted in a lawyer. I couldn't have asked for a more professional, driven, knowledge, caring attorney. Do not hesitate to call and speak with Mattew about your case .I assure you, you will not be disappointed. K.U & J.U

This lawyer was so knowledgeable, warm and handled my case with favorable results without judgement. If anything comes up with me I will definitely be calling him.

Atty. Clemente got me out of a HUGE mess

I live at some distance from the Wilkes-Barre area. In the summer of 2018, I put my information on a hookup site and received a reply from an interested young female, describing herself as local to my area. However, after I had sent her enough info to be identifiable online -- and identified as a m...arried man -- the young woman threatened to take my printed messages to my wife and my workplace, unless I paid her hush money. Turns out she was Pittston-based, and never lived in my local area, ever. Her sole purpose on the site was to extort men like me. For six months I paid her, and lived a life of sheer terror, with panic attacks in the idle of the night, weight loss, etc. Several WB-area law firms listened to my situation and determined that they couldn't help me, or flat-out refused to get involved in such a mess. In desperation I contacted Atty. Clemente, as my sixth or seventh choice. He picked up my initial call himself, and from that moment on he gave my case the utmost empathetic attention and effective representation No, I should never have gotten myself into such a mess, but he didn't judge me. Instead he immediately drilled down on the identity of my personal terrorist and her collaborators, though his own investigative skills and those of his private investigator. Once he knew the identities of the conspirators, he used his local police force connections and the skills of his investigator to methodically box them in to a situation in which they all knew the gig was up. He singlehandedly took down an extortion ring, and for the first time in six months I am once again sleeping all night (and behaving lol). I have never been so effectively represented by an attorney. Thank you, Matt!
