About Michael

My name is Michael Worgul. I was born and raised right here in Pittsburgh, and it’s probably no surprise that I’ve settled down here too. I went to Duquesne University for my college and law degrees; right after being admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 2004, I joined Arthur Bloom & Associates, LLC, a small private practice. I later joined the Allegheny County Office of Conflict Counsel for two years, representing indigent criminal defendants who needed legal help. I’m a member of the Allegheny County Bar Association, Criminal Litigation section, as well as a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar Association. I’m also admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania to represent clients for federal crimes.

I started my own practice in 2008 to help people through these tough and stressful times – people like you.

Cases

Commonwealth v. J.C.

Practice Area: Criminal defense Date: Jan 18, 2011 Outcome: Not Guilty on all Counts Description: J.C. was charged with his second DUI. J.C. was facing a 90 day mandatory sentence if convicted. The Commonwealth agreed to let him serve it outside of jail if he would plead guilty. J.C. did not want to plead guilty and we proceeded to trial by jury.

Commonwealth v. P.L.

Practice Area: Criminal defense Date: Apr 04, 2011 Outcome: Not Guilty on all Counts Description: P.L. was accused of mailing 18 pounds of Marijuana to himself from out of state. P.L. was observed by law enforcement actually receiving the package from mail delivery personnel. P.L. was facing a mandatory 3-6 years if convicted. P.L. maintained his innocence and even refused a plea deal ensuring that he would not spend a day in jail! As a result, we went to trial and aggressively fought the Commonwealth's case.
