Would not reccomend

Attorney Gilman was helping with a ticket appeal. His price was more expensive than I’ve paid for similar services. I did not feel confident that I would get an outcome in my favor at any point in working with him. At the appeal he made one statement and I conveyed the rest of appeal myself. I receiv...ed minimal effort from attorney Gilman and my appeal was denied. I would not recommend. I would have been better off just defending myself because that’s essentially what happened.

3rd OUI Case — License revoked: Immediate Threat

Attorney Mathew Gilman helped me get my license back and went above and beyond call of duty. I appreciate the fact that he always reached out to me before I could call him whereas other Attorneys sometimes don’t return cilent calls the same day. He accompanied me to the Board of Appeals for my hearin...g and spoke of my behalf there and the following day as well because he happened to be there and my case was particularly problematic (3rd OUI). After I received the letter from board of appeals, he helped me better comprehend it and instructed me to go see the hearing officer to acquire my license. Naturally, I went to RMV the next day, while I was there Hearing officer was being somewhat difficult so I contacted Mr. Gilman. He called the RMV manager to point out Boards letter which stated reinstatement of license and he made sure I got my license back that day. Furthermore, I got my actual/regular license not the hardship license with restrictions. I utterly believe if it wasn’t for Attorney Gilman, I wouldn’t have my license right now. He is kind, caring, professional and most importantly extremely knowledgeable. I suppose being a hearing officer in the past has helped him become the best lawyer for matters regarding rmv, hearing officer and all license related issues. Needless to say, he’s quite familiar with the overall RMV procedures specailly “Immediate threat” as was the case with me. I highly recommend Attorney Mathew Gilman and hiring him was the best decision I made as far as my license is concerned. Lastly, I found Attorney Gilman online while searching google for “best License Lawyers in Mass” and I read some reviews which led me to hire Mr. Gilman so I truly hope my review helps someone out there with suspensed/revoked license.

Matthew Gilman as good as advertised

Matthew handled my son's case with confidence, complete understanding and command of the situation, and knowledge of the system to achieve a swift and successful resolution. We are very grateful for his expertise and would recommend him to anyone with a traffic-related legal issue.

OUI Plea and Hardship License

Matt was proactive in reaching out to me once he took my case. He listened to all of the details of the case and was reassuring. He knew all the ins and outs of my circumstances. He was also readily available via the phone and email. On the day of my court appearance attorney Gilman arrived early... and spoke with the ada about my case. He was reassuring as we waited for the case to be called. During the interaction with the judge he was proactive in providing the judge with positive aspects of my case. The judge ended up adding one charge, but I do not fault attorney Gilman for that. Additionally, Matt was super helpful in getting my hardship license. He walked me through the process, give me guidance on crafting my letter, researched public transportation options and how they would not be viable, and brought me to the RMV in Boston. While at the RMV, he showed me exactly where to go, what forms to fill in, and met with the hearing officer, on my behalf. Attorney Gilman has experience working at the RMV as a hearing officer, and as such he had a lot of connections, and this made the process very smooth. I would recommend him unequivocally and without hesitation.

TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY!!

I hired Attorney Matthew Gillman to represent me in appealing to the RMV to obtain a hardship driver's license following my suspension for OUI. Matt had extensive insight and knowledge given his past experience with the RMV, and expertly guided me through the tricky process from beginning to end. H...e made great recommendations along the way, and his grasp of dealing with the legal system was obvious. Matt was successful in helping me quickly obtain my hardship license, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for excellent legal counsel and representation. Thanks, Matt!
