About

I am a Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney and partner at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC in downtown Pittsburgh. In this position, I am able to provide aggressive, diligent, and knowledgeable representation to individuals struggling with serious DUI, traffic, violent, and criminal cases throughout the various counties of Western Pennsylvania. However, a main focus of mine - and our firms - is DUI defense.Since passing the Pennsylvania Bar in 2010, I have handled hundreds of criminal cases, including juvenile, misdemeanor, and felony cases covering DUI, violent crimes, sex crimes, drug crimes, and crimes against property. I’m also an experienced litigator who has successfully taken over 20 jury and bench trials to verdict, and I have successfully briefed and argued criminal appeals before the Superior Court. My experience in handling criminal cases is great and varied - giving me a significant advantage in the legal field.

Me and my wife have never been in trouble with the law before other than a couple of speeding tickets. The incident we had was very traumatic for both of us. We contacted your firm and right away we were put at ease that we were in good hands. Samir has been very attentive to both of us. The same goes to the friendliness of Ashley. I will always use and recommend my family and peers to use your firm

Absolutely magnificent. He argued my case against the Mercer D.A and the board of probation to a senior judge and it couldn't have went better. I was wearing orange 6 hours ago. I am.still in disbelief that I'm even able be here to.write this review. He is affordable and he goes to bat for you. I hope I won't need his services again, but his card is staying in my wallet. He has a silver tongue and is very compelling. Thank you again.

Samir was responsive in a quick timely manner to every question/concern and request I threw his way. He was well prepared for my case and got me the absolute best possible scenario when the outcome was decided, which was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I worked with a few people at Worgul during the process as well in regards to information about my case. They kept me up to date on times, changes, etc. I highly recommend Samir and the Worgul Law Firm.

I hired Samir some time ago for a college related matter, in which I was being investigated with sexual misconduct by Title IX. Initially, I was very scared and afraid as I myself knew that I had done basically nothing wrong but cases involving sexual misconduct are treated very harshly and cruelly against men and can cause even the most innocent college students to be kicked out of school, possibly registered as a sex offender, unable to pursue their dreams. When I came in for my free consultation, I noticed how Samir paid extremely close attention to every detail I gave him. You can tell that he really cares about his clients on a personal level and addresses the matter at hand very seriously. As we went on to talk about his fees, I did initially notice that his fees were very high, but when your future is on line, money comes second. As Samir and I fought through this case, every time I gave a text to Samir, he would respond within 5 minutes. Every time I sent an email to him, he would send one back within 5 minutes. Every time I sent a call to him and he did not pick up, he would text me back within that 5 minutes and we would arrange a call or a personal meeting later. Its amazing to work with someone who is always so consistent and well time managed. In addition, when it was time to write up my defense, and I submitted it for Samir to review, Samir sent me another edited copy with numerous edits, and these edits were so powerful and convincing that I was left amazed myself. In the end, the opposing side eventually had to say that there was not enough evidence for them to pursue charges on me. We had won the case. It goes without saying that if I had gone in that room without Samir beside me or any other excellent lawyer, I would have lost the case and essentially submitted an admission to guilt, and the reason for this is because there are just so many rules that you just do not know about how women are supposed to be treated, loved, touched, etc. The Title IX office essentially gave me a 50 to 60 page book about these rules to read. If you are a student like me in a Title IX case, I highly recommend that you think about taking Samir as your lawyer. These guys at the Title IX office are no joke. They are not your friends. If you say something wrong despite how small, you can throw your college dreams out the window. Samir is not there to play it; he's there to win it.

Samir, who was my attorney at Worgul Law Firm, was absolutely wonderful and helpful to the fullest extent. I never had to wait for a call back because he always answered the phone. Every question I had was answered promptly. I felt very comfortable with my case being taken care of by this law firm.

I have had the pleasure of hiring Samir twice for unfortunate times in my life. Once for a public intoxication/disorderly conduct, and another time for a domestic dispute with a girlfriend. Both times Samir was a class act. For each case he was readily available whenever I needed him, and he was always prepared for whatever circumstance I needed. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone that needs legal help or consultation My friend also had legal issues, and I directed him to Samir who was able to help him as well. I have received similar comments from him about Samir. Cannot recommend enough
