Great Counsel and Service

Matt has made this weird "journey" I have been on for a DUI somewhat palatable. I know the mistake I've made, but Matt was not judgmental and seemed to care about my situation. He was also very helpful in understanding the RMV and has worked with me to help me get back on the road. I appreciate him ...very much!

Pleasure to Work With

Mr. Gilman was extremely knowledgeable about the RMV and their policies. He quickly outlined some steps to follow to get me back on the road as soon as possible. I would recommend this attorney with your suspension case as he provides an easy way to navigate the complex RMV system.

Dropped my immediate threat

I can not thank Matthew Gilman enough for all the hard work and time he put in to help me get my immediate threat dropped and get me back on the road after almost 2 years, hands down he is the most helpful lawyer I have ever dealt with he did exactly what he said he would do and get me my license bac...k and he did just that, I would recommend Matthew Gilman 10 out of 10 times to anyone who is going through a hard time with license suspensions/ immediate threats. Once again thank you Matt for helping me get back on the road I have been waiting for this day for almost 2 years! Thank you again Matt!

Best license attorney in Ma!

If you need an attorney (especially one who deals with RMV and Mass Board of Appeals) look no further. I met Matt at a very rough time in my life. I lost my license due to an out of state suspension for a DUI charge. When I lost my license I was overwhelmed with anxiety and fear about the complicatio...ns that were to come because of the out of state charge. I started to look for an attorney, and found Matt. I had a consultation with him and he was honest, fair, and told me exactly what we needed to do, and I hired him immediately. I am so happy I found Matt because throughout this 15 month ordeal, which felt like a lifetime, Matt was there for me, and lead me in the right direction in getting my license back. I was anxious through this whole ordeal, and many times he listened to me complain ALOT, and was a champ about it, and always made me feel better . Matt isn’t an attorney that is about money and only money, but is an attorney who genuinely helps people and cares. I dealt with three different attorneys, the one for my out of state criminal charge , one to deal with the professional boards (I’m a professional) and Matt, who dealt with the Mass Board of Appeals and RMV. Out of the three attorneys, Matt was by far the best, and I paid a third of what I paid for the others, and he did the most work and went above and beyond. Matt was also a very responsive attorney(which is hard to find). If you need an attorney please save yourself the time and energy and hire Matt, he is a good guy who is honest and beyond fair. Thanks Matt for all of your help!!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Atty. Matt Gilman uses his talent and experience for everyone, not just his clients. I met Matt at a volunteer seminar on RMV licensing issues a few years ago, because real lawyers never *stop learning. He spent his time and effort to help educate his colleagues on nuanced areas of the law. He is always willing to take a call seeking guidance, or offer his perspective on approach. Lawyers that help other lawyers improve their knowledge, or share their resources deserve every success that comes their way. Good lawyers care very much about their clients and the results of the case; Great lawyers care just as much about the work of their colleagues and overal reputation of the bar. Matt is a great lawyer and I reccommend him."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
