I had an issue regarding privacy laws and recordings. Mr Burnett took care of everything for me very quickly and was easily reachable via phone and email. I appreciated the in depth knowledge he has. Would absolutely recommend!

I reached out to Mr. Burnett from Avvo and had a long consultation call over the phone about my landlord-tenant issue. He offered 3 violations that my landlord is subject to and an action plan while other lawyers I have contacted only provided partial information. Mr. Burnett also seemed very genuine and well connected. If my case was in his area, I would definitely have worked with Mr. Burnett. Thank you!

Had gotten a DUI at the end of junior year. Was having many concerns because I had gotten an internship across the country in a state were I needed to drive to work every day. He was able to push my court dates back until senior year, so I would be able to have my license for my first internship. This gave me peace of mind! And my internship never found out about my DUI.
Come senior year, he was able to get me ARD and my license was only suspended in PA for less then 6 months when it was supposed to be more. Considering all the substances (CLASS I included) in my body at the time arrested, this was great news.
Ronald Saupe then took care of my expungement process. I graduated from college and considering I travel for work a lot, Ronald Saupe has been very patient with me and how long I take to respond sometimes. He said he mailed me my expungement papers (at my mother’s address) but they were returned to him. I did see that email the same day and gave him a new address (and offered if he can scan them and email them to me), and I still never received them. I will contact him today again via email and ask for them again. This is the last important thing I need so I can forget about this incident.
This was all done for a reasonable price too!

Got me into ARD program, although he never guaranteed it he was pretty confident and cool. Was very responsive and helped consult free before being hired. Would recommend to anyone in State College and for the price is the best you can find. Thanks Mr. Saupe

Ron helped me with a very very complex business deal that had many moving parts. I was extremely impressed with his promptness, professionalism, and knowledge. He made himself available outside of business hours and on weekends for my unique situation. He was vested in protecting my interest and thoroughly explained everything to me, whether it was what I wanted to hear or not. His rate was affordable and very reasonable for his services. Ultimately he helped me execute a great business agreement and his services are world class. I highly recommend Ron's services.

Attorney Tim Fleming is someone who I would recommend to anyone. I ended up with an issue where the PA Dept of Transportation suspended my Drivers License in error. Attorney Fleming expertly helped me walk back a very complicated series of events and win the case. Thank you to him for a wonderful and caring experience throughout a very stressful situation.

Having no experience with the criminal justice system and being in our mid 60's we asked our Farming organization for a referral and hired an attorney in Harrisburg who did not communicate with us and did not know the law and certainly did not know the Centre County justice system. After being fed up we looked at reviews and Tim's stood out. We asked for a consultation and in minutes Tim understood the issue and formulated a strategy. Tim spent an entire hour with us and would not charge us. However, Tim did not take our case because we were in the process past the preliminary hearing stage. I wish we would have found Tim from the beginning. He offered great advise that our attorney would not take and he offered to talk to our attorney if he would call him for advise on the Centre County personalities. Hire Tim, he knows the system, has great strategies, returns calls and explains everything. We wish we would have known what to look for in an attorney but we were scared so we took a bad recommendation. Now my husband will be pleading guilty for raising animals in the wettest year on record in a natural way that face book people found offensive and we simply can't afford to go on with this criminal justice process that is anything but just and is unbelievably expensive and has put us under incredible stress, worry and fear that has harmed our health and well being.

A lifesaver may seem to be a strong word, but it is not when you are facing a felony record for life any potential jailtime. When facing a serious case which could have resulted in a felony record, out of talking to at least 10 lawyers, Mr. Masorti stood out the most. His intelligence, grace, and dedication will protect you all the time at any time. He will do work without ever giving you tension, with you not even realizing the work he is putting into the case. Out of multiple charges that would have made me a felon, Mr. Masorti was able to get everything downgraded to one single misdemeanor charge, that after one year of the ARD program (pre-trial invertion, probation) that only required a court check in online once a month, would get expunged. He stands out in my mind as THE most impressive lawyer I have ever met. You cannot go wrong and will never question your decision in choosing Mr. Masorti.

Masorti Law Group is a firm that I would recommend to anyone looking for legal advice. Philip is an extremely approachable, friendly, and professional lawyer who will look out for you like you're family. I got in trouble for a felony level crime while on ARD and Philip managed to get me an extended ARD sentence instead of jail/prison time. He is compassionate and extremely driven to help his clients, and will also keep you informed and updated every step of the way. I can not advocate enough for the legal services of Masorti Law Group.

Phil is a very professional and well known attorney in State College who went out above and beyond for me with my case. You can tell right off the bat that he is a very intelligent and outgoing lawyer. Phil seems to know everyone in State College/ Centre County and everyone knows him. Phil has given me much legal relief and I am confident in saying that he will work on any cases he accepts with ferocity and will get you the best legal results possible. When you catch yourself in a difficult legal situation, you want to have Phil Masorti in your corner to protect you. Plain and simple.

I came to Barbara with a custody matter that needed handled quickly. She was eager to help and listen to my specific situation. She came up with an action plan that I was happy with and stayed on top of communication when I had concerns/questions.
Barbara was very nice to work with and knows what she's doing. I would (and will) highly recommend her to others that are seeking legal help.

Marie is an excellent attorney who not only listens in the highest regard to her client but she is also an attorney who understands the needs of her client and fulfills them to the very best of her ability; her abilities as an attorney are flawless and relentless she is in fighting on your behalf for what is fair and what is right for the client's best interest. She will not put you on a shelf and get to you when the time is right for her because she understands the need for a quick but yet firm and just outcome. Marie also does not hesitate to call you personally to give to give to you any kind of advice or information about your case, you are not left out in the cold wondering what is going on or what is happening; it's like being face to face with your attorney at all times and you know in your heart that she is always there for you. I had already appointed two attorneys to my long enduring divorce case and it was very depressing listening to excuse after excuse for not moving forward, but when I finally reached out to Attorney Sullivan for help everything rapidly came to order and my case and life were finally moving forward. I'm very thankful that you were there for me Marie; my best to you and your family :) God bless

Marie Sullivan is lawyer of incredible professionalism and effectiveness who does her utmost to defend the interests of her clients. Anyone who has experienced a contentious custody or other legal dispute knows how stressful the situation is, and how ill at ease they feel with the entire process. As my own experience attests, Marie gave me comfort and confidence in the ultimate outcome in my case. She did this by exhibiting a deep grasp of the legal issues at hand, confidence and poise in the courtroom, and sensitivity to my own feelings regarding my case.
The custody dispute I was in was extremely contentious and there was a great deal of uncertainty regarding whether I could achieve the goals I had intended regarding how the relationship with my children would be structured. Marie never let my confidence in my goals being achieved waver. She kept me abreast of the legal issues at hand, was a skilled negotiator with my ex-wife and her lawyer. She was meticulously prepared, confident, and effective beyond my wildest expectations in the courtroom.
I highly recommend the services of Marie Sullivan in any case revolving around family law or issues regarding custody. She is exactly what you are looking for when life circumstances require the services of a lawyer.

I recommend Joe to anyone who needs legal assistance. Joe not only was a great lawyer and extremely successful in my case, he truly cared about me as a client and did anything and everything he could for my case. Unlike other lawyers, he even accepted phone calls at night and on the weekends. In 2013, I was arrested for public drunkeness and we walked out of the courtroom with a verdict that I wasn't even expecting. He was also able to get it expunged off of my record. He helped me more than I could have even asked for, to say the least. Being a penn state student, I was very worried about how this was going to affect me academically, and Joe was able to give me a clean slate. I am more than thankful for Joe and what he did for me, and I would not reccomend any other lawyer in the State College area.

As an undergraduate at PSU I received a citation that required legal guidance. I reached out to Joe for representation in a time when he had much larger cases on his plate.....despite this, he took the time to call me, take my case, and explain the road ahead.
When I had my day in court, Joe stepped up to the plate and we left the court room with the verdict I desired. Joe dedicated his heart and mind my case...despite it being on a much smaller scale than some of his other professional cases at the time.
I highly recommend Joe.

Joe had previously helped a member of my family years ago. When I was facing serious charges of my own I contacted him right away. He immediately came to my assistance and reassured me that my case would be resolved in a favorable way. He did a fantastic job in several court proceedings for me. Always responded right away to any questions I had about my case. Joe is not just an excellent attorney but also cares about each and every one of his clients. Taking calls and emails at night and on weekends. I would reccomend Joe to anyone facing criminal charges. Couldn't have asked for a more caring, professional person to be by my side through the most difficult time.

We reached out to Mr. Rehmeyer about a lawsuit. He spent considerable time on the phone reviewing the case with us and helping to address any fears we may have had. Given some of the factors involved, he did not feel he was best suited to handle the case. Even though he did not take the case, he went above and beyond to help us. He reached out to multiple friends of his who are attorneys, to help us find someone who would be a good match. This is a testament to his integrity and speaks to what type of person he is.
He is extremely responsive, and it is clear he is an incredibly hard worker who is very knowledgeable. He must have spent at least 10 hrs. assisting us. The one time I called his office, the staff there were extremely friendly as well. If you are looking for an attorney in the Central PA area I would definitely give Mr. Rehmeyer a call. He was very highly recommended to us and he surpassed our expectations in terms of his generosity and expertise.

I had a slip and fall case, I didn't know what to do. I chose to go with a very well known and advertised law firm. The kind where "There's no fee, unless we get money for you". Well, they treated me as just a number and didn't even take my case after review. So I decided to reach out to Andy. A local attorney that took the time to actually sit down and listen to me. He took on my case, and in the end, we won. One of the most important things to me was how honest he was, very straight forward and did not stear me wrong or cloud anything in any way. informative at every step, easy to talk to and understand. I have never had a better attorney. Honestly. I'd recommend this law firm to anyone above any else. The help, honesty, time, and even the courage to take my case is greatly appreciated to me.

Andy is a knowledgeable and professional attorney who represented me in an auto accident case. His expertise in often convoluted insurance matters was recognized immediately - Andy is an experienced personal injury attorney who I felt confident in upon leaving the initial consultation. Andy worked quickly and around my schedule to resolve my case. Both Andy and his partner Julian Allatt are very personable which made the process of working with an attorney much easier, as this was the first time in my life where I required an attorney for civil litigation. I would recommend working with Rehmeyer & Allat if you are in need of representation.

Hired for family law. Bernie has stuck by me and my family for around 9 to 10 years so far after child custody was given to myself.
When I hired Bernie I was very impressed with his education and community life.
Bernie has gone above and beyound what law school could ever teach him. Bernie was a law student of the greatest defense attorney Gerry Spence.
Bernies community life is more than what I expected. His involvment is very strong.
I believe if their is one person who could correct what's wrong with the Centre county system it would be Bernie.

Attorney Cantorna did an excellent job in representing us in a malpractice claim against Mount Nittany Medical Center. He spent hundreds of hours learning every detail of a complex medical case. He did an excellent job in his examination of witnesses and in cross examining the defense witnesses. He is bring honor to the legal profession.

I know Bernie Cantorna to be a good person and an excellent lawyer with a passion for helping people in their time of need. When I was suffering from the depths of PTSD which was acutely exacerbated by an auto mobile accident and the ill effects of a concussion sustained from the same auto mobile accident, which was not my fault, I became unable to work or even care for myself. By using his experience, knowledge, and professional network, Bernie successfully provided me with his services by defending my rights and needs against an at fault insurance company. I know that Bernie did everything within his abilities to to defend my rights and make sure that I was taken care of in my desperate time of need. Ultimately, Bernie maximized the compensation I received from the at fault insurance company. I hope that no one I know would ever be in a such a helpless position, as the one I was in, but, if they were, I would absolutely recommend Bernie Cantorna to them. I am certain that Bernie would provide anyone, including you, with the same level of defense, care, and compassion that he provided me. It is who I know Bernie Cantorna to be.

Janine was very personable, understanding, and knowledgeable when working with me on my case. She was quick to respond with important information when time sensitive responses were needed. Janine was excellent with helping me to understand the legal aspects of my case. She was always willing to meet with me and explain my options during each phase of the process. She was also willing to meet with me after office hours. She made me feel comfortable and at ease when discussing my options as well. I was very satisfied with hiring her as my attorney and really appreciate everything Janine and her assistant have done during my experience while working with them.

Sharon helped my wife and I through the process of acquiring her green card and moving back to the USA.

Sharon handled a very difficult separation, divorce and custody case spanning over two years in length. She was always clear with my options, consistent with looking out for my best interests, and effective in the courtroom and judges chambers. I felt as though I was always heard, and then guided towards the best strategy, especially when emotions were high for myself. I highly recommend Sharon for family law matters.

Sharon took care of my I-90 application. From the very first inquiry, Sharon was always timely to respond back. Whenever I reached out to her with questions, I received her answer within a day. I was told to expect to wait for a year to receive my Green card. Because of Sharon's professional, complete, thorough approach to my case, my card was issued within less than three months from the time the application was submitted.

Philip Masorti is a rare find. He jumped in to the deep end of the pool without hesitation and faced what was turning into a huge legal battle for our family. A situation that started out with very serious charges was quickly brought to an abrupt ending and none too soon. To say my family was feeling overwhelmed is an understatement, but Attorney Masorti gave us and my son's case 150% and for that, we are most grateful for his professionalism, insight and integrity throughout all of it. His communication and responsiveness were impeccable.
Should you, a family member, or a friend, find that you are facing a serious legal situation, I highly recommend not hesitating a moment to immediately reach out to Attorney Philip Masorti--truly second to none.
