Great guy.

Matt helped me get out of 11 points and got me down to 2 and saved me over $300.00 on my fines. He really is a great guy and I recommend him to anyone that needs a good lawyer for traffic court.

Hired Mr Freer, But I Wish I Didn't

Mr Freer decided to take my case for a large fee. He did a poor job of arguing on my behalf. I ended up with the same outcome I would have had if I went alone. He was wrong and provided numerous false claims.

$aves me every time!

I have a problem both speeding and driving in the HOV lane. Have gotten many tickets for each. Every time, Matt gets me ZERO points, plus the ticket fee gets dropped by a few hundred dollars. One speeding ticket, he got it reduced to "parking in front of a fire hydrant"--LOL! Matt Freer is worth ever...y $$$$!

Take my advice, add Matt Freer to your contacts now!

My wife was running late to the train station one day and so I offered to drop her off so she doesn't have to drive and find parking. I made a left turn on a neighborhood street that prohibits this turn between 6AM and 10AM (which is ridiculous but that's another story) and sure enough a cop was wait...ing there...just my luck. Anyway the ticket would've cost me 2 points on my otherwise squeaky clean, 0 points, driving record, and $300+ in fines. Since I didn't want my insurance to increase because of this ridiculous violation, I decided to hire a lawyer and got Matt's contact info from an acquaintance. He contacted me almost immediately after I called his office (oh and this was a holiday too by the way, I think it was MLK Day) and explained to me what my options were. He was also very honest in telling me that since I have a clean record, I can show up at court myself and most likely get my fine reduced. I didn't want to deal with the hassle and taking a day off work etc. so I hired Matt. Fast forward a few weeks later (took this long because the ticket was not registered in the system yet) and Matt was able to plead my case down from a moving violation to jaywalking, with ZERO points attached and a reduced fine!!! Oh and just to put icing on the cake, he got me 30 days to pay for it! All thru this process we pretty much conducted all our communications via text and short phone calls, from sending him a photo of the tickets to him sending me notice of appearances and the final pleading; very efficient and he responds within 5 minutes or less. Needless to say I am very happy with his services and so far this is the best decision I've made in 2017.

Will keep on hiring Matt if I need a lawyer

Matt is very professional and hardworking always keeping me up to date even late at night he'll send a text or leave a message. In the Summer of 2016 I was heading Westbound I was pulled over for not obeying a traffic device, I almost missed my exit. I received a ticket and the court wanted to give m...e points on my license as well as a fine. Matt was able to reduce the ticket to a parking ticket and no points! Fast forward to November heading home from college I was pulled over again this time for speeding (70 in a 55) also on the LIE. Court wanted to give me a fine and two points on my license and weren't being too lenient because of my earlier offense over the summer. Odds were against me but Matt said he would take care of it not to worry just give him some time. Sure enough, he kept his word I was again only given a parking ticket. Matt definitely knows what he's doing and always looks for the best possible outcome for his client.
