Client Review:
I retained Mr. Matlock for a serious felony offense. He carefully explained every aspect of the case to me, as well as what I could expect. He was available to talk to me when I called or emailed him, which is a nice change of pace when it comes to attorneys. He was truly fantastic.

  • I recommend Michael Matlock.
  • I used Michael 6-12 months ago.
  • Michael handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
I contacted Mr. Matlock after speaking to several other attorneys about my case. He was the only one that seemed to want to tell me everything at stake with my case, both good and bad. He was up front about my chances, but at the same time more than willing to fight for me. And fight for me is exactly what he did.

I felt from the beginning that my case was winnable. So did Mr. Matlock. During trial he was incredibly impressive. He was an outstanding trial attorney. His closing argument to the jury was something out of Hollywood. It was great.

But not only was he great in the courtroom, but alos leading up to trial. He was always available to speak about my case. He kept me up to date with everything that was going on.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Matlock to anyone facing serious criminal charges. He was more expensive than many lawyers I spoke to, but it was well worth it.

Client Review:
I retained Mr. Matlock to represent my son who was involved in a felony offense. Mr. Matlock handled the case is a very professional, courteous and efficient manner. He unquestionably knows the law and how the system works. As a result, my son avoided what could have been a potentially devastating result in his case. Mr. Matlock is a a true trial lawyer who commands the courtroom. I was truly impressed.

Client Review:
Mr. Matlock defended me in a drug case. He was on top of everything on my case. He explained the law to me and told me how it affected me in other areas besides just the possibility of going to jail. He was great. He always was available to answer my questions. I would recommend Mr. Matlock to anyone that is charged with a crime.

  • I recommend Michael Matlock.
  • I used Michael 1-3 years ago.
  • Michael handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
After I was arrested, I received hundreds of letter and brochures from attorney wanting to represent me. There were two attorneys that claimed they could get my case dismissed. I went and spoke to them, and ended up hiring one of them. I went to court one time, and realized I had made a terrible mistake. I took the time to do the research I should have done initially, and went and spoke to Mr. Matlock. I am so happy I did.

After speaking to Mr. Matlock, I realized the other attorneys' office was just out for money. They had no interest in my case, and they certainly couldn't get my case dismissed like they claimed. Mr. Matlock helped through the case and we eventually got the case resolved. I recommend Mr. Matlock to anyone. Don't be fooled like I did by those fancy fliers in the mail.

Client Review:
Mr. Matlock is a tremendous attorney. He helped me in a very difficult situation. He took the time to explain every aspect of the case to me and it really helped me in making the decision to go to trial. Once we were in trial, Mr. Matlock was outstanding. He did a really great job with the prosecutor's witnesses. I was found not guilty. He saved my career. I would highly recommend Mr. Matlock to anyone that has any kind of criminal case. He is well worth the money.

Client Review:
I had a career-ending felony charge. Mr. Matlock immediately began investigating the charges. He was able to not only get evidence excluded, but he also convinced the prosecutors to drop the charges completely. I would recommend Mr. Matlock to anyone looking for an excellent criminal defense attorney.

Mr. Matlock is a really great lawyer. He kept me up on everything that was going on with my case. He is so easy to reach. How many lawyers give you their personal cell phone numbers for when you have any questions? That's awesome.

Client Review:
I was charged with a very serious offense and Mr. Matlock represented me. He did such a great job. The original offer was to plead guilty and go to prison for 20 years!. On the day of trial after Mr. Matlock cross-examined one witness, the prosecutor offered a misdemeanor. I couldn't believe it. All thanks to my attorney.
