attorney Matthew Sylvia

Let's face it you could hire the most expensive attorney you can find but doesn't guarantee you quality service. Like any other profession thier work day becomes routine and they can just be going threw the motions for a paycheck .Having a personal friend that is a court appointed attorney,I'm well a...ware of what little effort a lot of attorneys put into any particular case. Matthew not only explained everything to me but did so with passion. This is extremely important,otherwise your attorney is just going threw the motions. Thaw day we appeared in court I had asked about a date on a future case. Matthew wasted no time finding the date for me but more important had it included with the present case. He saved me from having to return to court but also did this for free. I think I've established that Matthew enjoys his work and is a great guy but that doesnt get you off the charge. Well without giving too much deatail about my case. I was looking at drug testing ,suspended license for a year, supervised probation, weekly counseling, and if course a drug convixtion on my record. Thanks to Matthew ,I have my license ,I don't have to get tested ( I would pass) or go to counseling ,I don't have any supervised probation and most important ,I don't have a drug conviction on my record. Being a full time student ,I could not afford to get this charge or else I would lose my financial aid. He also saved me a bunch of money on the second case which was driving violations. I will never loom elsewhere for an attorney even though I have a personal friend that would work for me at no charge. Whether it is for a driving offence,criminal ,or family court, you want Matthew by your side. I know he will be on mine. Thanks for reading and good luck
