Patrick T. Matthews

My 18 year old grandson was facing several felony convictions from a series of poor decisions; most from mental health problems. The state's only offer would have made the rest of his life extremely difficult: trying to find employment, school loans and access to any federal programs for the rest of ...his life. Attorney Matthews, (who is not just an amazing lawyer is also an extremely caring person who gives his all to help his clients) managed to convince the DA (who also proved that they do care about young offenders and not just collecting another conviction statistic) to give him another chance, which includes getting the help he needs to keep him out of trouble and become a positive contributor to society and not another number at the prisons. It is a rare combination to find a lawyer who is greatly skilled in the court but also committed to doing the very best for his clients present and future.
