I've practiced law for 15 years, and during that time, I've had the opportunity to observe his skills and commitment to his clients. I have referred clients to him because I believed in his dedication and tenacity, and his commitment to seeing that they received fair treatment either through effective bargaining or a fair trial. the reviews that have been recently posted regarding Matt's skills, ethics and morals are little more than a temper tantrum designed to smear the name of a highly professional and skilled attorney who provided solid, well founded advice to the public. If you find yourself in need of a defense attorney in a criminal case, you should judge for yourself, and not rely solely on reviews. Take a consultation with him, and judge for yourself. I am confident you will be pleased that you did.

Matt is a honest and skilled litigator. I am pleased to have such a colleague and recommend his services for criminal matters.

I've known Matt for over 30 years. He has an exceptional aptitude for the law - it's principles, it's nuances. His attention to its practice is a passion; I've always found his advice sound and successful.

I attended law school with Matt and have watched him represent clients in the same county as me for a number of years. Matt is a dedicated, well-prepared advocate for his clients. He is professional, compassionate and sensible. If I had a son or daughter in need of legal assistance in State College or surrounding areas, I'd trust Matt to represent my child without reservation. Hire him...you won't regret it.

Matt is honest and a skilled attorney with a great reputation in the area. He goes above and beyond for his clients.

I've known Matt most of my legal career. I have seen him in trial, and had many conversations with him about the law. Matt is a strong advocate for his clients - and a really good guy. I would never hesitate to refer people to him and I have done that on occasion (I am an attorney in York, PA so I don't always have the opportunity to refer clients to him in State College). Matt is well respected by the legal community and his blog is always full of interesting legal information that I enjoy reading so I can learn about new developments in the law as well.

I've known Matt since law school and have always been impressed with his integrity. Although I no longer live in PA, I am back to visit often and hear nothing but positive comments about his work. S. Morris (Dipsey Doodle on fb)

I worked for Matt for 2 years. He takes pride in his work. He practices ethically, responsibly, and truly wants to help people. These are qualities that are hard to come by today. His rates are beyond fair, and puts incredible effort into EVERY case he takes. During my employment at McClenahen Law Firm I never saw an unhappy client. Besides being an excellent attorney, Matt is a community oriented honest person... also qualities that are hard to find today. If you are ever in need of a defense attorney in the Centre County area, you do not have to look any further.

I practice criminal defense in Maryland and routinely refer clients to Matt for representation in criminal matters in the State College, PA area. The clients that I have referred to Matt are always pleased with his representation of him. He has a great track record of achieving successful result for his clients, many of whom are students attending Penn State University, for whom a brush with the law can have significant consequences for them. I wholeheartedly endorse Matt. He is a skilled lawyer who spends time with his clients and stays on top of changes in the law.

I have known Matt for almost my entire life, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for his morality, work ethic, and integrity. He is a top notch attorney who makes each client a priority. Highly recommended!

I've known Matt for five years. He is a good person, great businessman, and an excellent attorney. If my kids ever faced criminal issues, which hopefully they won't, I'd be calling him.
