Masorti Law Group PC has represented clients throughout State College and Centre County since the early 1990s, building a record of courtroom results that local reporters and legal writers regularly reference. When a case involves a Penn State student, a serious felony charge, or a custody dispute with public interest, journalists often ask our office to explain what is actually happening in the courtroom rather than what headlines suggest. Legal publications and outlets beyond Centre County have also turned to the firm for perspective on complex cases.
That visibility comes from consistent work, not publicity seeking. Our commitments to every client remain the same whether or not a case draws outside attention:
Attorney Philip Masorti has tried criminal cases to verdict in Centre County and neighboring courts since 1992, a track record that gives context to every interview request or article citation involving our firm. Reporters covering local criminal trial lawyer matters, high profile assault or drug crime cases, or unusual custody litigation disputes often seek a perspective grounded in actual trial experience rather than speculation.
That background includes work as a felony defense attorney, drug defense lawyer, and defense attorney handling everything from summary offense citations to serious bodily injury allegations. It also includes years spent representing Penn State and other university students facing disciplinary hearings that carry real consequences for their academic futures.
Media requests are only part of the picture. The daily work of preparing for preliminary hearings, negotiating with the Centre County District Attorney’s Office, and standing beside clients in the Centre County Courthouse on Allen Street is what actually shapes outcomes, and it is why local outlets continue to ask for perspective on complex cases.
Coverage of our firm reflects the way we practice law every day: direct, prepared, and focused on realistic outcomes rather than promises. Below are the qualities that reporters, referring attorneys, and clients across Central Pennsylvania consistently mention.
Media coverage reflects a track record, but every client deserves that same level of preparation and honesty applied to their own situation. If you are facing criminal charges, a custody or PFA matter, an injury claim, or a university disciplinary hearing, reach out to discuss what to expect next.
