Top review highlights

Pros

Highly knowledgeable and experienced in criminal law, with strong relationships in the local legal community

“Matt is THE GUY to represent you! I cannot thank him enough for his support and knowledge while representing my autistic son. Matt is a force of confidence when he enters a room, and that is exactly who you want on your team!”

Dedicated, responsive, and attentive to client needs

“Matt was very professional and helpful in the matter I retained his services for, working hard with me to get the best end result possible. I have repeatedly recommended him to friends in need ever since.”

Achieves favorable outcomes for clients, including avoiding jail time and getting charges reduced or dismissed

“Matt helped get my charges down to misdemeanors. I had an ongoing case that occurred in my final year at Penn State and I felt hopeless until I consulted Matt. He is a very diligent and knowledgeable professional who genuinely cares about his clients.”

Provides clear explanations and guidance to clients throughout the legal process

“Matt explained the process and helped me make sure I did not have to keep coming back and forth to do small procedures. Ended up with misdemeanors.”

Excellent communicator who keeps clients informed and accessible even outside of normal business hours

“Matt took the time to go over the charges and most importantly explaining exactly what they meant. Anytime I had questions he got back to me right away and he never left me waiting.”

Cons

A few isolated instances of poor communication and attention to detail

“I was shocked to learn that none of this was actually done, and because of Mr.McClenahen's carelessness, my husband ended up getting a warrant for his arrest and was promptly arrested two weeks later.”

Concerns about overcharging or pushing clients to settle

“He charged several thousand and then pushed me to settle. Ended up with a record that will effect my employment for the rest of my life.”
