Compassionate and Effective Legal Support for Our Son’s Juvenile Case
We hired Matt to assist with a juvenile case for our son involving traffic citations that we believed were unjust and could have had serious consequences for his record and driving privileges. Our son had never been in any kind of trouble before and was understandably scared and overwhelmed by the si

I can’t recommend Matt enough. I had a very serious legal issue come up and someone I trust referred me to Matt. It was a very confusing time and he was calm, knowledgeable and professional. He was also very easy to get in touch with and returned calls in a timely manner. I highly recommend Matt and he would be the first person I call if I ever need legal advice or help again.

Mathew’s assistance in helping me with a really difficult situation was outstanding. I really didn’t know how things were going to play out with my case and when I had spoken with him each time, he was VERY calm, collected and confident in his responses. He was able to help me move through a very bad situation and I was able to come out of it safely because of his assistance. I really couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you thank you thank you!! Recommending to anyone needing the same help I needed. I couldn’t have done it without him at all!

Matt was so helpful and considerate helping me navigate through an unfamiliar situation for Myself and My wife.
I found myself at a place in life that I never thought I’d be or want to be again…. At the mercy of the judicial system.
With his help My charge was reduced to a misdemeanor…with the minimums on fines and classes.
I feel like He advised me for the best possible outcome available….I never felt judged by him and he is always so easy to talk to.
But….For as nice and polite as he is in person….he’s a total bulldog in the court room when necessary.
It was obvious that he knew his way around a courtroom and the judicial system system.
I was extremely happy with his courtroom, demeanor, and thoroughness and would totally recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense. He can walk the delicate and sensitive lines of strategy and procedure. He appeared in court for me while I maintained employment And completely made life easier in this difficult situation.
He’s always very attentive , thorough and honest and it sets you at ease in the stressful process.
I know he’s a busy man but I always felt like I was his only client with the time and effort he gave me.
He came recommended to me from a seasoned local bail bondsman and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense.
