Matthew Teeter

Neither my husband nor I knew where to turn when I knew I would have to go to court. My husband found Matt's information online and we called him promptly, and made an appointment to see him to explain my offenses. I was nervous about feeling like a criminal and not knowing what lay ahead, but Matt ...quickly put us at ease and treated me with respect. His knowledge of the law and his demeanor reassured me that I was in good hands and I trusted him quickly. He is very personable, honest and dedicated to his profession. Each meeting with him left me calmed about what lay before me and secure about handling the present realizing that the future and my health were optimistically respected. He has a manner about him that I attribute to his confidence in his knowledge of the profession and that each client deserves respect; this is a quality one can not put a price tag on. Matt was there every step of the way, guiding me in what I needed to provide for him, having me do my homework and working with my limited budget to ensure I met my obligations on time and with understanding that I had financial issues. Always tell your attorney everything, no matter if it's something you're feeling, something for which you need clarification or just to reiterate what is necessary for you to keep your promise to the agreement set forth. Matt took my questions late at night and was always patient and above board. I haven't known many lawyers, but one hears stories of others representation and I have my own story to tell now. My faith in human nature came through with Matt and I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family in need of his services. Matt was able to negotiate my charges, spent a considerable amount of time before the prosecutor prior to the court case and was able to bring the charges into focus by concentrating on the efforts I was making to improve my health and my conviction to remain abstinent from alcohol. I received a great outcome through his efforts, lowering my charges and fines and offering to the judge why my offenses warranted reduced penalties. His rapport with the judge was of utmost respect and the respect by the judge was mutual. I am indebted, grateful for and relieved by the experience Matt provided for my husband and I. Thank you Matt, you're a good man and an asset to your profession and your colleagues. If you are in a situation where you need representation, look no further than the above recommendations and mine; be assured that your case is in the hands of someone dedicated, respectful of his clients and a good man to have on your side. Trust Matt...

New Jersey law says patrons must be at least 21 years old to gamble at casinos in Atlantic City. People under 21 can only be on the casino floor if they are walking through it on their way to another room where gambling is not taking place, such as a restaurant. The state of NJ needs to show that the... defendant is under 21, generally shown by ID when admitted to casino security .Then, the state needs to show that the defendant was gambling through camera footage. The NJ state statute for under age gambling cases, there are no plea bargains in A.C.; where they would dismiss the charge in exchange for a non-criminal offense. When pleading guilty, penalties include a driver’s license suspension for 6 months, a disorderly person’s offense (misdemeanor) and a $500-1,000 fine. At the time of my situation in Caesar’s Casino in A.C. I was 20 years of age and at a .99 cent slot machine with my boyfriend. I was not there any longer than 10 minutes and a casino floor guy approached me as I was honest and polite and showed my driver’s license. They took me in the back room and had me sign a paper telling me I was banned from all Caesar’s casinos and that I would have to appear on my court date with the summons they wrote me. It was very scary and I cried and had a terrible experience in such a short amount of time. After doing research I looked up attorneys for criminal offenses and for my case, I hired Matthew Teeter to represent me and he appeared on my behalf since I’m a full time student and part time employee as well. I did not want to plead guilty for this error in my life, this mistake would potentially hurt my future with potential jobs and several other things as well. This was such a wise investment my mom and I did recently. Matthew helped me a lot and was great with communicating with emails and even urgent text messages. He would always inform me by keeping me up to date with his efforts toward working my case. He also kept very good professionalism and I was very impressed with my "total experience" with the firm. Matthew Teeter gave me exceptional and fast results. I must say Matthew Teeter is a phenomenal attorney and I highly recommend the Roberts & Teeter’s law firm for cases similar to mine.

A couple months ago I was pulled over by a police-officer who seemed hungry to bust someone for drug possession. He claimed that he smelled the odor of marijuana in my car despite me never smoking in or having it in my car. Using this as probable cause, he justified the search of my vehicle. He was d...isappointed to not find what he was looking for, although did end up finding a fragment of an adderall pill I intended to use for studying. He decided to arrest me, and I felt absolutely screwed and hopeless. He assured me I would have the option of being put in a conditional program where I would undergo a year of supervised probation in which I would have to submit to random drug tests. This caused a lot of pressure and mental anguish since it is a very close time for me to apply to grad-school, and although abstaining for all drugs for a year would not be an issue for me, the fact that having 'big-brother' watch over me would certainly make me a bit paranoid. It was then that I decided to look for legal representation in my area. I saw Mr. Teeter's office was a little far from me, yet the reviews I saw online about him were too stellar to pass up, and plus he offered free consultation, so I thought 'why not?'. Upon entering his office he was quick to offer me coffee and listen to my story. He took everything in and was able to come up with a few methods of attack to where we could get a few of the charges against me dropped, and get some of the more severe ones(CDS in a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance) downgraded. I have needed to hire a lawyer in the past, but there was something much different about Matt's demeanor. He actually urged me to go get second opinion's from other lawyer. However, I was very satisfied with how he presented himself, his ability to break down complex legal terminology into concise and understandable information, and his no-nonsense bluntness and realism regarding my options. I decided to come back later that day with my mother to feel him out and I ended up coming back that very next business day to hire his services. During the entire process Matt was available to take any questions my parents or I had for him via phone-call. Reaching him was never an issue when we needed to speak to him. He never tried to inflate the facts of the situation and was always truthful and upfront with what he was going to do. He weighed several options in clear terms in front of me and made sure I was part of this process the entire time, and he never did anything without consulting me first. After hiring him, I felt so much better at night and was able to sleep well again for the first time after getting arrested. About 2 months after being arrested and waiting for evidence to be sent to us, my court date arrived. What Mr. Teeter was able to do for me was nothing short of incredible. While I was potentially facing an offense which carried up to 6 months and jail, it was much more likely that I would be eligible for the conditional program in which I would be subjected to a probationary period of 12 months in addition to about 1,000 dollars in fees. If I decided to go for the program I would never be able to use any sort of pre-trial intervention again. Not only that, but unless I got it expunged, that information could be visible to people doing a background check. Even then, using that expungement would mean that I could never have my record expunged again. Ultimately Teeter worked his magic and got everything reduced, and I only had to end up paying a couple hundred dollars in fines. I didnt have to enroll in the conditional program and my anxiety was completely quelled. I cant promise that if you hire him that you will have the same amount of luck that I had. But looking at all of his reviews online, it seems very likely that this isnt luck at work, but rather the skills of a competent attorney.

When faced with a very serious legal matter that carried severe ramifications earlier this year with regard to a DUI and some additional drug charges, I immediately sought out for legal representation from Matt as I was already aware of his high level of expertise and experience in dealing with these... matters. Matt was very easily approachable and always made himself available for meetings and phone calls to discuss the details of the case as more information became available. In conjunction with Matt being incredibly reliable and genuinely personable, he treated my case with a great deal of sincerity and he was meticulous in every detail. These were the qualities that enabled him to get the best results possible and I would highly recommend him to anyone as I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.
