Matthew B Nichols

I hired Matt when I was charged with OUI in the spring of 2016. He was very professional and was able to meet me for a consultation less than a week after my arrest. He was able to identify problems with my case that I was unaware of and resulted in the charges against me being dropped. I would recom...mend hiring him, you will have a hard time finding better representation in Maine.

Matt Nichols is, hands down, the best attorney money can buy. I have used his services (along with those of his associate, Sarah Churchill) on three different occasions concerning OUI charges, and have never been let down. Matt Nichols knows his way around the legal system, and he always makes sure y...ou know exactly what to expect every step of the way. The last time I hired Matt to represent me, I was facing felony OUI charges that threatened to greatly derail my life; Matt was able to work out a deal with the D.A. that would greatly reduce my sentence. Both Matt and his legal assistant Joanne were quick to respond to any questions I had during the process, and also provided continued support in the aftermath. The greatest thing about having Matt Nichols in your corner is that he genuinely cares about his clients. This is not just a job for Matt; I can earnestly say that his support went far beyond what you would expect from a typical attorney-client relationship. I had no doubt that he was truly fighting for me 100%, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. I can't say enough good things about Matt Nichols; he is worth every penny!

Right from the start during the initial consultation I knew I had made the right choice in selecting representation for my DUI. Matt's approach in my case, expertise, and guidance proved to be very effective throughout a process that involved the BMV, the ADA and the Courts. Both Matt, and his extrem...ely capable legal assistant, Joanne, were responsive in a timely manner to my questions along the way. Their knowledge and professionalism helped me to be well informed and patient with the system. Knowing exactly what to expect made it easier for me to cope with the process and prepare for what lay before me. And it all payed off....I couldn't be more satisfied with the results.

Matt was an ace in all hearings. We had the fortune of going head to head with a "loose cannon" of an officer, and Matt made sure to exploit that but never play the bad guy. The facts he found in my defense could not be refuted, his angle of attack was dead on - at the time I would have preferred... going after the officer more overtly, but Matt's experience kept him on a line that didn't jeopardize my case with the hearings officer (former police man) or the district attorney. At times I second guessed the way the case was proceeding, but in the end Matt not only beat the refusal, but also the criminal charge. He knew what had to be done, tactfully made the conclusions for the hearings officer and district attorney, and fed them the answers. It's very clear that he has years of experience and volumes of knowledge in this field, and if you're in a position where you need an expert in this field, then look no further!

I contacted Matthew in order to help me with a case where I was caught shoplifting. He not only charged me a reasonable price, but was quick to make contact with me and let me know what he could do for me. I am in school to be a teacher, and was very concerned about having such a bad choice affect my... career. Matt was able to reassure me that such a juvenile choice was not going to stay on my record as far as he was concerned. I was scheduled for court on three separate occasions, and I was fortunate to not have to attend any of the hearings. Matt really took care of me. He was relatively good about answering emails, and was always available to talk on the phone when an appointment was made. He knew exactly what to do! My case was dropped completely, and I couldn't be more lucky to have Matt perform such a task! I would certainly recommend this great lawyer to anyone and owe him a lot of gratitude for what he was able to do for me.
