I have been practicing Criminal Defense and Family Law in Central Pennsylvania since 1992 and have tried over 120 jury trials to verdict in State and Federal Court. I have handled several hundred hearings, motions, arguments, jury and non-jury matters. I taught trial advocacy as an adjunct professor at the Pennsylvania State University Law School and have managed all aspects of my Criminal Law practice from initial investigations through and including case evaluations, summary hearings, preliminary hearings, ARD applications, pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, trials, appeals and expungements. I have extensive experience handling all grades of criminal offenses and I utilize experts and investigators when necessary. I have extensive experience representing clients in student misconduct and Title IX Investigations.

My Family Law practice areas include representation for PFA, Custody, and Divorce. I have a special interest in child custody cases, having raised three children of my own, and I appreciate and understand the frustration some parents feel when physical custody is at issue. I also use experts and investigators frequently.

I believe in a direct hands-on approach to managing clients and their families. I keep my caseload small so I can give maximum attention to each client's case. I charge non-refundable flat fees for most matters and $350 per hour for those cases when hourly billing is more appropriate. My fees are disclosed in a written fee agreement that is communicated clearly in advance of me undertaking representation. Fees are established on a case by case basis and are directly related to the nature and complexity of the issues involved, my experience in resolving them, and the urgency of matter. We communicate regularly with clients utilizing emails, texts, and phone calls.

Please email my secretary Laurie to schedule a consultation at lt@masortilaw.com. I will provide a preliminary evaluation of your matter and then quote a fee if I believe I can be of assistance.

I met Phil at a most difficult time in my life. He immediately made me feel like I was safe, secure and in professional hands.
Hey sometimes in life things happen out of our control, knowing that there is a professional like Mr. Masorti who understands how to navigate the system, tell you the truth and straight facts makes it easy to deal with whatever life brings.
I honestly can thank him enough for ensuring everything came out ok, just as he said it would when I met him.

What I can say about Phil, he is a life saver. From the very first time I meet with him I knew I was in good hands. His professionalism along with connections from working in the state college area for years have earned him a reputation of a defense attorney no prosecutor enjoys seeing on the other bench. I could not recommend him more. This man is responsive and will walk you through your situation with confidence along with reassuring you it will all be ok. I jokingly told him when my situation was resolved that I hope to never see him again, but god forbid I ever need an attorney again...Phillip Mosorti will be man I call.

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 wonderful attorney, a friend, and overall person. During my case, he made sure that I knew what was going on with every step. Whenever I felt uneasy, he always had a way of subsiding those feelings and reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. Phil always looked out for my best interest and made sure that all accommodations were met. Over the course of the case, we developed a very great relationship that stemmed outside of just business. I wish nothing but the best for Phil and that he continues his great work because he is a great human being. Whether he knows it or not, I learned a lot from just being in his presence and observing his meticulous methodology.

Philip helped me in my case and got the result I was hoping for. When I first got to his office he calmed me down and assured he would do his best to help me. Following court Philip also spoke on my behalf to allow me to participate in programming close to my heart.

In search of a defense attorney who knew his way around Centre Co legal system and who would provide a vigorous defense without taking the easy way out; recommendations led us to Mr. Philip Masorti, with whom we immediately felt comfortable, with his confident and reassuring manner. You cant imagine the shock & disbelief when a family member is charged with felonies for an action which caused no physical harm and was believed to be within ones legal right to 'stand your ground'. We were extremely grateful and relieved he was at least able to get the charges reduced to a more appropriate level befitting the legal description of the incident. We were further shocked when the county wouldn't agree to a minimal sentence for a first offense (when others who actually caused physical harm or even death have received little or no time.) But, through this whole gut-wrenching ordeal, Philip was there for us, especially me, at times more like a trusted friend than legal counsel. He was frank and honest about possible outcomes. Having heard so many complaints about lawyers who don't return calls, I was surprised and relieved to find he was never more than a phone call or text away, even if out of town. He made himself available for face-to-face meetings when I needed updates and reassurance. He has a compassionate heart and truly cares about the success of young men who have made a mistake. If you find yourself afoul of the law in Centre Co, Phil's your man.

Mr. Masorti handled my son's case which was fairly publicized and extremely serious. He kept us in the loop every step of the way. He answered our questions with honesty; talked to the D.A.; gave great-sounding advice; handled the press and saw the case through to the end. Phil was able to get the best possible outcome we could have hoped for for my son who was facing quite a few years in state prison. Phil worked his "magic" and got the sentence down to months in the county jail. Phil was definitely reasonably priced and was well worth the money we paid. Phil's a straight shooter with compassion. Myself, my family and my son truly thank Phil for the job he did and for his professional assistance in a very sensitive case. I highly recommend his services! Thank you Phil!

Phil is an excellent attorney highly recommend! Helped me immensely in my time of need. I know my outcome would not have been as good without his hard work at defending my son. I'm sure prosecutors are not happy when they see him. Extremely smart and thorough with his work.

Philip Masorti is the lawyer to get the job done. I was disillusioned with the legal system when I realized how it actually works. His skill, insight, understanding, and heart restored my confidence in a broken system. If you need legal help, I highly recommend him!
