Biography
Attorney Matthew Gilman understands the difficulties his clients face when their driver's license is suspended or they are charged with a crime. When he worked as a Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) hearings officer, he made decisions about whether thousands of people just like you lost or kept their licenses. When you are facing a license suspension or are in need of a hardship license, you need an experienced license suspension lawyer on your side.

His practice areas include Massachusetts criminal defense, hardship license law, RMV license suspension hearings, Division of Insurance Board of Appeal hearings, drunk driving defense, and domestic relations matters.

Matthew N. Gilman's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"Matt is a great lawyer and extremely knowledgable in all issues surrounding criminal defense and RMV license appeals. I highly recommend this lawyer."
"Matt is a top notch Lawyer in the community who I have worked very closely with. I happily give him my endorsement as I know he is very knowledgeable in the world of criminal defense"
"I endorse Attorney Gilman. I've known him for several years and would, without hesitation, refer to him any client needing assistance with a driver's license or criminal defense issue."
"I endorse this lawyer."
