Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Lawyer
Some defense attorneys will try to tell you about their experience working as a prosecutor, but prosecution and defense are two entirely different things. If you face criminal charges, you want a lawyer with experience handling defense cases from start to finish. I am trial lawyer Michael V. Worgul, and from my offices in Pittsburgh, I have always been focused on defense. I will protect your rights and fight back aggressively against the charges.
Arm Yourself With Defense Experience

Having protected hundreds of individuals in over a thousand cases, I know how to build the best possible defense and seek out the weaknesses in the prosecution's case. My career started in 2004 and progressed when I joined a private firm, growing their criminal defense practice. After additional training with the Allegheny County Office of Conflict Counsel, defending indigent criminal defendants, I had the business and legal experience needed to open my own firm.
I provide each client with the personal attention they deserve. Available for appointment at all times, I can be reached by phone seven days a week from nine to nine. Upfront and honest from the start, I will give you an honest assessment of your case.
The Criminal Defense Process
With my practice completely dedicated to criminal defense, I am prepared to handle a wide range of cases. Most importantly, throughout my entire career, I have handled every case from start to finish. While many attorneys who worked as public defenders or in the DA's office were only asked to handle only certain parts of their cases, I had the opportunity to defend my clients at every stage of their case.
I understand the importance of preliminary hearings in Pennsylvania criminal cases. This is the first place where police officers and witnesses make official statements. Many cases are won and lost at pre-trial hearings. When the time comes to go to court, I will be prepared. I have extensive trial experience, and I will do whatever it takes to get results for my clients.
