Exceptional!
Attorney Crockett assisted me with matters involving a restraining order, which has been a very difficult and trying time for myself and my family. Not only is Attorney Crockett, extremely well versed and respectful, he is kind and caring. Thank you!

The best!
Professional, responsive, great demeanor, fair and caring. Hired for matters related to filing a restraining order and representation for a hearing related to a highly sensitive personal situation. The outcome was favorable and attributed to his hard work. Highly recommended!

Wonderful
Attorney Crockett was not only completely professional at all times, caring, empathetic, and knowledgeable, he also helped me through a difficult time by proving me with insight and guidance that turned out to be invaluable for the healing process. Thank you so much, Attorney Crockett!

Better than I hoped for
Attorney Crockett handled my complicated divorce case very professionally. The fact that my case was immigration related caused me a great deal of anxiety which Mathew expertly and timely addressed. the case ended in a better outcome than i had expected, and i strongly recommend Mathew for any family/divorce related cases. Excellent job, and thank you Matt!

Intelligent, experienced, hard-working attorney
Matt is one of the brightest attorneys I've ever had the honor of working with. He's always thinking tactically, and you can count on him for insightful observations that others miss. He puts the client's interests first; and he's always honest and fair. Matt is a true credit to the legal profession, and I hope to continue working with him in the future.

Do not hire
Attorney Crockett will tell you what you want to hear in order to up-charge you or prolong the case for his own benefit. He sabotaged my case.

"I have interacted and worked with Attorney Crockett on opposite sides for many years. He is focused, determined, and dedicated to achieving the best results for his client. He has an excellent knowledge of the law, and believes in meticulous preparation of his cases, which is evident if you have ever had to try a case in which he was the attorney representing your opponent. His professionalism is truly unparalleled in this day and age. I can easily endorse him without reservation. He is a superb advocate."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Matt Crockett is new to private practice in general and the criminal defense bar in particular but he is an experienced attorney. As a criminal defense attorney with much of my practice in JD Windham and GA11, I've defended many clients in many cases Matt prosecuted for the state. While a fierce adversary, Matt was always professional, respectful, courteous, and reasonable. He is a gentleman with great integrity – a man of his word. I fully expect Matt to quickly become a respected member of the private bar who will serve his clients well."
