Today I had to go to Barnstable District Court. Julie represented me. She was exceptional. She called me prior to going to court, and she explained everything to me. I could have lost my license, but she got me a Continued Without A Finding. I will be on unsupervised probation for 2 years…but I co...uldn’t have hoped for more. The woman who hit my car when I failed to yield was trying to get $1800. from me. I can’t thank Matt Gilman Law for their help. The other woman got nothing (because she showed up at court with nothing proving that she spent any out-of-pocket on anything). Without the help of Matt Gilman and Julie I could have lost my license for 60 days. Thank you Matt and Julie. I recommend Matt Gilman to everyone.

I hired Matt Gilman to handle an RMV matter. Our initial conversations were good, and I paid him. Well. Then I waited. And Waited. And waited. For a return phone call about my case. When we finally spoke, he treated me like a criminal. Spoke down to me. Very condescending. I would avoid hiring Matt G...ilman at all costs.

Mathew Gilman is someone I can confidently and honestly say will help you get back on the road and deal with any legal issue you may have with expertise and passion. He will advocate for you to the fullest extent. I hired a different lawyer before him, and I had a totally different experience where I... was taken advantage of. Mathew on the other hand, he will work with you, he will be honest with you, and he will give you the resources you need and WIN ANY case you have. He will help you along the way, tell you what steps you need to take, he’s always available to talk to you, he has a whole team that will also help you. I can tell this man is very dedicated to what he does and is a VERY genuine guy. He doesn’t judge. I was in a situation that I thought there was no coming back from. I thought I would *never* be able to drive again or get my license back. I had jumped through hoops before meeting him. He guided me, showed me the light at the end of the tunnel and got my license REINSTATED within 8 weeks of speaking with him. He is the best of the best. He could’ve totally judged me based on what was on paper but he didn’t. He saw me as a human being who made some mistakes and helped me get my life back. I never once felt judged. I felt heard, seen, understood, and I felt like for once someone wanted to help me get my license back. He is worth every single penny and I would pay him all over again. I wish I had gone with him from the start, I would’ve saved so much money. He is affordable, and he will work with you if you need to set up a payment plan. I have no complaints. He is truly the best of the best and I just want to say THANK YOU!

On Christmas Day 2020 I was issued a citation for Hit & Run Personal Injury and issued an Immediate Threat Suspension. He told me it would be $1000 for the Magistrates hearing for the Hit & Run and $1500 for the RMV and BOA license suspension hearings. We couldn't proceed with the suspension hearings... till the Hit & Run was disposed of. So I paid him $1000 just for the Hit & Run Magistrates hearing and told him I'll decide how to proceed when that is disposed of. The courts were closed due to COVID so it took 1 year to get a hearing date. I'd call him every few weeks to see how things were progressing and he wouldn't return my calls. He would call in a few days. This created a lot of stress. I also felt that he was judgmental and with some of his remarks had already ruled me guilty. This put me into a deep depression as I thought I was going to jail because you can go to jail for Hit & Run. I finally got a hearing notice for January 10, 2021. I contacted him to let him know of the hearing date and he told me he wasn't doing anything in January and would postpone the hearing date. I couldn't believe it. We waited a whole year to get a hearing and he was postponing it. How long would it take to get another hearing date? When I asked him why, he said that I was getting too personal. I reminded him that I was his client and I had a right to know why he couldn't attend the hearing. He said he was having hip replacement surgery. I asked him when was the surgery because if it was before the hearing date he could still attend the hearing and take care of it. He told me he had a right to take time off from work and that the surgery was on the 11th the day after my hearing. I informed him that he had a duty to represent his clients and that he was FIRED. I told him I wanted a full refund of my money or I was filing a complaint with the Board of Bar Overseers. He sent me a check FEDEX overnight but it wasn't for the $1000 I paid him but $2500. I called him and he issued a check for the right amount and FEDEXED it overnight. Very incompetent and unprofessional. Doesn't he keep any financial records? He had the audacity to ask me to reconsider and rehire him for my suspension hearings. I got another hearing date in a month with another attorney and the Police decided to drop the complaint with no criminal complaint issued so the Hit & Run is resolved but I still have a license suspension. This whole experience has been mentally draining. I am 66 and this is a hardship. He has good reviews but there are some bad ones. Believe me please do not hire him or this may happen to you. One bad review called him a CROOK. I believe by sending me the wrong refund amount he was trying to pull some kind of scam. How incompetent. He seems to think some people are stupid which they aren't. This man needs to be disbarred and not allowed to practice law anywhere in any state. Very unprofessional and a total jerk with no respect for his clients.

I highly recommend attorney Matthew Gilman. I am very happy with the positive outcome of my case. Attorney Gilman is very knowledgeable and experient, my case was promptly resolved in a short period of time, since the issue arose. The attorney and his team were very patient answering all my questions..., I truly appreciate the attention and dedication attorney Gilman had with my case.
