About Matthew

Matthew Teeter graduated from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey (now known as Stockton University) in 2008, having majored in Criminal Justice with a focus in Forensic Investigation. While obtaining his degree, he successfully completed an internship with the New Jersey State Police Ballistics Unit in Hamilton, New Jersey. It was there where he learned about comparative bullet/lead analysis, the examination and test firing of firearms, and forensic ballistic testimony in New Jersey courts.

In 2012, Matt obtained his J.D. from Faulkner University – Thomas Goode Jones School of Law. While in law school, Matt served as President of the Student Bar Association, was appointed an Executive Board Member of the Board of Advocates, and represented his school at the 2011 Annual American Bar Association Meeting. During this time, Matt also applied his talents to the Mediation Clinic, where he negotiated settlements for the Honorable Sharon Yates. Since then his focus has been devoted to criminal law, criminal procedure, and trial advocacy. He limits his practice to criminal law, municipal/traffic tickets, DWI/DUI, expungement, gun permit, and domestic violence law.

Review Matthew Teeter

Thank you!!!

Posted by

I had a great experience working with Roberts and Teeter LLC!! There were positive outcomes for each of my cases, which I had turned over to Mr. Teeter. He made me feel involved by keeping me updated, and there was a consistent line of communication throughout the process. I highly recommend his services!

Matt helped me on my case where my ex-wife made false abuse allegations of our own daughter. He was extremely responsive, professional and thorough. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a struggle. Eventually my case was closed with no charges.

I hired Mr. Teeter to take care of my expungement case. It was an excellent experience, and I was content with my results. I was consistently informed on the progress and was tended to when I requested updates. Matthew is a great guy and I would definitely hire him again.

Matt works hard to meet his clients individual needs and get them their best possible results. He has successfully had two cases of mine dismissed completely. I would highly recommend him for any legal matter.

Outstanding

Posted by

Mr. Teeter managed my case from start to finish with the best result possible. He achieved what he said he would within the time he had estimated. Without his diligence the case would not have had the same result due to the delays with the system. He went above and beyond on my case. His persistence, attention to detail and aggressive work helped me make it through a very stressful situation. I am extremely grateful for the time and effort as well as his concern and follow up. I would use Mr. Teeter again if I ever had the need in the future and would recommend him to anyone I knew who could benefit from his services. In fact I have recommended two people to his firm and their results and experience was equally as positive. Great high quality legal assistance with personal concern.

Mr. Teeter was thorough and professional throughout the entire process, helping with a minor traffic violation. I'm confident he secured the possible result. I would certainly use their firm again and recommend to friends.

The best!

Absolutely is the best lawyer. I have never had a run in with the law until now and Matt made me comfortable throughout the entire process. He treated me with respect and explained anything I didn’t understand. In addition to his great personality, there was open communication. I was reminded of my court date and received responses to any correspondence I sent in a timely manner. I hope I don’t have to have a lawyer again, but if I do, Matt will surely be the one I go to. Thanks again for everything!

Relationship: Co-worker

I have practiced with Matt for the past three years and know him to be an exceptional attorney in defense of his clients. Through zealous advocacy he fights hard and often achieves results that other attorneys think impossible. Matt's clients always report that he is thorough and accessible and answer their questions. From a common sense approach he is able to relate to not only his clients, but the prosecutors and judges. If you are facing a DWI or municipal court charge, having Matt in your corner is a tremendous asset in your favor. I fully endorse Matt for this practice area.

Joshua Stapp, Criminal defense Attorney on May 15, 2015
Relationship: Other

Matthew is a zealous advocate for his clients and a dedicated attorney. He is passionate about the law and his clients' rights. I had the pleasure of knowing Matthew from the very beginning of his legal career and I can attest to his amazing work ethic and dedication to justice. I strongly recommend his services to any clients seeking an criminal defense attorney dedicated to achieving the best result possible for his clients.
