Bleak to Promising - CDS Charge Dismissed

A few months ago, on a cold December night, I found myself lost for words, thoughts, and handcuffed in the unforgiving fiberglass cage that is the back of a police car. Today, I walked out of the courtroom with the criminal offense of CDS in a motor vehicle being dismissed and the process of expungem...ent having already begun. I was charged with the CDS as well as N.J.S.A 2C:35:10(a)(4) - Marijuana Possession - and N.J.S.A 2C:36-2 - Drug Paraphernalia Possession when a police officer decided to search my motor vehicle after an unexpected traffic stop. My outcome looked bleak as I stared at these criminal charges from one of the most unforgiving jurisdictions I know of. My outcome came to look even bleaker after being subject to the fear-mongering and intimidation of various local lawyers. Not with Matthew Teeter. I called in for a consultation after reading a glowing review of his services and am happy to add another to his many others. A consultation took me through a succinct conversation about the circumstances of my arrest, his experience with cases just like mine, and a price point that I could stomach. After signing on the dotted line, Matt assured me that he, along with Mike and their diligent team, had my back in this matter. Not only does the firm hold extensive knowledge in their domain, they have a passion to succeed in it. Discovery led to a systematic overview of paths that my case could take and honest feedback on my chances on emerging unscathed. Court dates were a breeze with the office notifying me ahead of time and Matt was always punctual for court. He offered the quick, coherent answers that the judge was looking for and navigated her every inquiry with expertise. Through the earnest working of my case, Matt turned a dismal situation into a hopeful one. Don't bother looking further for representation. You'll have the best at Roberts & Teeter, LLC.

Amazing Results

Mr. Teeter is an outstanding lawyer. Not only did he stick to his word, but he also charges at a very low price, much cheaper than other lawyers, and is a very professional and intelligent man. I was worried to what would happen to me in court, but Mr. Teeter reassured me that he would take control, ...and from there yeilded the best results possible. I highly recommend Mr. Teeter for any case, he is a great guy and he will take care of the problem.

Best Lawyer in NJ

First and foremost. I just want to thank Mattew and his group for all their hard work on my case. From my first consultation, he was respectful and explained the entire process in full detail. He made me feel at ease and told me he will do everything in his power to help me with my case. I was caught... speeding 105 in a 55 and my case was very clear and cut I was most likely going to lose my license. On the day of the court appearance, Matt made me feel calm and assured me everything will be ok. After negotiating with prosecutor my original 5pt ticket was dropped down to a 2pt ticket and no suspension with a fine of course. If it wasnt for Matt I would've lost my license. Do yourself a favor and call them if you are in need of the best defense in NJ.

Ms

Matt teeter was an amazing lawyer. I had a simple assault and criminal mischief charge and he got both charges dismissed for me and filed expungement for me. As my first attorney he was very professional, always kept me updated, and made sure he was punctual to all my court dates. I thank him so very... much for his services and I highly recommend him to everyone!

Great experience.

Matthew Teeter was literally the best decision i could have made. I was facing 3 tickets one of which was doing a 101 mph in a 65 and about 6 points. After arguing with the judge Matt was able to get two of the tickets thrown out and prevented me from losing my license. All in all he was a fantastic ...lawyer and i will be using him again for any further legal issues.
