THE ABSOLUTE WORST LAWYER EVER!

Matt was appointed to represent me in 2021 for a PCRA. From the time the PCRA was initiated until the outcome, I only had three interactions with Mr. Quigg. He often scheduled phone calls but never followed through. In 2023, the judge ordered a hearing for Matthew to explain his delay in amending my... PCRA or filing a Finley letter. Just two days before his court appearance, Mr. Quigg contacted me with apologies, saying my case had “slipped through the cracks.” I later emailed him after missing his court appearance to inquire about the case’s outcome, but received no response. To my surprise, he filed a motion to withdraw, even though he hadn’t heard the full details of my case. I asked if he had my trial transcripts to assess my PCRA claims, but, as expected, received no response. I strongly advise against working with Matthew Quigg.

Do NOT HIRE

I hired Matt Quigg to represent me in a very serious criminal case. He was AWFUL! He says he is super aggressive and he was completely the opposite. I did everything he asked me to do to get the charges dropped and thrown out. I saw the people he recommended me to see, doctors he told told me to visi...t, evidence from my behalf EVERYTHING, and it turn he decided he wasn’t even going to use any of this. He is the worst communicator I have ever seen. I know I was not his only client but I wouldn’t hear from him for MONTHS even when he asks me to reach out to him. He tells me the DA is not out for blood but then she came straight for the jugular when we were in court. I did everything to show I was innocent and all he did was tell me to take a deal so that it would be over and I could move on with my life. Well it’s easy for him to say because at the end of the day he walks away with no record and the outcome doesn’t affect him. I listened to him and took a bullshit deal for something I didn’t do and no have 3 felonies on my record for the rest of my life. I’m now 23 with no degree and it is nearly impossible for me to find a job. Matt told me he would do everything he can to help me and then turns to my parents and I and says “I’m sorry. I should have been more aggressive to try to get things done!” LIKE WHAT???? You pride yourself in saying you are aggressive when you aren’t. Don’t hire this joke of an attorney. HE DOES NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST.

Helped save my life

Matt was such a huge help to me throughout this whole process. I had been struggling with addiction for years and getting arrested was my complete downfall. Matt and Tim were both patient with me while I worked hard to get my life together. With their help I was able to get into treatment and begin m...y journey towards recovery. I have almost a full year sober. Having Matt And Tim on my side has been such a huge help, I would definitely recommend them both!!!

Best In The Business (Hands Down!)

I met Mr. Quigg earlier this year. I was in seek of great help when my employer terminated my employment for doing something I did not do. I was at work. Clocked in as normal. However, by the end of my shift my entire world was turned upside down. I was accused of stealing several items that I had pr...oof of me purchasing. I had receipts for everything and was still fired! This experience was not only confusing, but extremely terrifying. I was fired, arrested, finger printed, jailed, and humiliated, all in the same day. How embarrassing!? Mr. Quigg's approach was amazing in gathering all the information needed for us to make the right decisions. He is highly educated, experienced, and especially CONNECTED! It's not always about what you know, but who you know. I beat all my charges and we are in the process of suing. I strongly recommend Mr. Quigg, aka, "Save The Day" to anyone in need of legal rescue! I trusted him, and he came through. You should too! I'm looking forward to that 5 figure pay day! YEAH! Lets do it brother! ; ) I'm one step closer to purchasing my dream home. Thanks again for everything! I really appreciate all your work.

Certified Public Accountant Facing, Felony and misdemanor Assault Charges

Matt represented me, he defended me in trial and got me a Not Guilty verdict on all the criminal charges that I was facing. I like that Matt had a positive and communicable attitude through out this entire stressful process. Matt is a clever and passionate attorney and his pricing is reasonable. ...
