About Matthew
Biography
I am a loving husband and father of two boys living outside of Philadelphia in the 'burbs. We have four pets: Rio (Russian Tortoise); Buttercup (dwarf bunny); and two cats (Oreo and Cookie).
I concentrate my practice on financial injury-based litigation, including business disputes, legal malpractice, real estate litigation including mortgage foreclosure, and consumer fraud. Matthew also represents victims of civil rights and employment violations. A peer-acclaimed trial attorney, Matthew also represents individuals (including attorneys) in disciplinary matters.
Having numerous trials as well as having appeared before the United States and Pennsylvania Supreme Courts, I am pleased to wear the moniker: "a true lawyer's lawyer."
I am proud to continuously receive referrals and praise from unaffiliated attorneys (even surprisingly from those who were once opposing counsel) and community leaders. In fact, I also regularly represent attorneys in their personal legal matters.

Specializes in Malpractice… literally.
1 star is too deserving for this lawyer and his firm. Matt Weisberg and his snake oil salesman/partner Gary Schaftkopf talk a big game, but when it gets down to actually doing any work they are nowhere to be found. Questions about the quality of their rushed subpar work get ignored for weeks and mo...

Takes an interest and makes changes!
Weisberg Law was the only firm that took an interested in our racial discrimination suit against the local school board. Had it not been for their taking the case, we would not have been able to enforce changes in our school and community to better protect our children.

Excellent Malpractice Attorney
Mr. Weisberg won my case after five other attorneys turned it down because it was to complex for them & they were afraid of the other attorney who I wanted to sue for malpractice.
Posted by Raquel | October 14, 2014 | Civil Rights
Provides peace of mind through bold advocacy
I was referred to Mr. Weisberg by an attorney who knows him professionally. He came highly recommended, and I quickly came to see why. I was dealing with what could best be described as vicious bullying and stalking, by someone seeking to infringe on my civil rights and personal safety. Mr. Weisbe...
