Professional
Mr. Myers was professional and responded quickly to my concerns (very rare in my experience with other lawyers). He was also direct about what we could expect, and the result was even better than expected, which I attribute to his listening to the client, preparing a strategy as well as negotiating i...

Matt Myers
Matthew D. Myers is not only a professional lawyer but he takes his time to explain exactly what the case is about and what should be done! I’m extremely happy and satisfied with the results and how the case turned out! I would definitely recommend him to family and friends! I wish at least ten perce...

Unreliable and Unprepared
I hired Myers to defend me in a case involving multiple charges, including felonies. I was not guilty of most of the charges against me, especially the more serious ones. Myers did not introduce hard evidence I provided him with, evidence which refuted the more serious charges against me. Myers faile...
I had won 6 state court trials in a row when this client ask me to represent him. I was his third lawyer which should tell you something. The trial judge specifically told him he had no defense because of the way the statute was drafted. He refused to believe anyone. He proceeded to trial without a defense to the charges. The judge clearly thought he perjured himself on the witness stand. It is sad that after all of this he has still not understood what he has done. Writing this unfounded misleading review helps nobody.

After meeting him I felt so much better. Enormously thorough, punctual and most importantly did everything he said he would for the price he...

snake oil salesman
I was the victim of a crime and wanted some guidance. He suggested I needed more. He promised to do all the talking with cops & the prosecutor and to show up at the trial (to the tune of a few thousand dollars Instead of the few hundred I expected for advice). Instead, after one conversation with the...
This "review" is full of inaccurate information. Our firm's reviews are listed below and stand for themselves thus the high rating. There is always one person who will write a review and be willing to be less than truthful. This witness (not criminal client) never paid a "few thousand dollars." This person avoided prosecution because of our firm's work on her case. This person was angered that the case in which she was a witness dragged on for over a year. After thirty years in this profession she was upset by something completely out of our control. She was a witness for a potential trial NOT a defendant. The prosecutor did not want our firm appearing at a grand jury or trial on here behalf because that prosecutor had promised to stay clear of any questioning about her criminal conduct/exposure. After achieving that result she asks for her money to be returned!? Of course other lawyers, I assume, were trying to get her to pay additional fees by criticizing the perfect result we achieved which eliminated any criminal exposure that she was clearly subject to. This review is the most misleading commentary by a "client" I have read in 30 years.
"Matthew Myers is a consummate professional and exceptional attorney. If I had a family member charged with a crime, his number would be the one that I call."
"Attorney Myers is a dedicated, highly-skilled lawyer well-respected within the legal community. I fully endorse him."
"In the summer of 2014, I tried a high profile criminal case with Matt. I was extremely impressed with his courtroom skills, including his ability to cross examine difficult witnesses and deliver a compassionate and effective closing argument. He is a truly fantastic lawyer and a superb trial attorney."
"Matt Myers is an extremely highly qualified attorney. He is one of the most persuasive lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His dedication and work ethic are without peer."
"If you are ever in trouble, Matthew Myers should be the first person you call. His experience, superior trial skills, courthouse reputation, knowledge of the law, and client rapport give his clients the best results possible. He is an outstanding person both as a professional and as a friend. Bottom line: nobody fights for their clients harder than Matthew Myers."
"Expert litigator. Good on the law, better on his feet. Myers is as good a representation as you can get in New York City. If I find myself in handcuffs, the first call I'd make would be to Matt Myers."
