Divorce case

This law firm is worth the money for a divorce. They had to search for the soon to be ex-husband. They're very through and professional. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs a lawyer for anything especially a divorce.

Best of the best

Dear Attorney Banks, My son, Joshua, had asked me to write you on his behalf. He just wanted to say thank you for everything your law firm did for him for all his cases. He especially wanted me to let you know that he felt Attorney Harakal went above and beyond for him at times. Attorney Harakal ...was on top of every case Josh had. He made many phone calls, court dates got changed ( a lot) and Josh was going from one jail to another. He worked with the advocate from the VA for Josh. Attorney Harakal always made time for me when I called on behalf of Josh ( and I called a lot!) He went to see Josh in jail, to make sure Josh understood what was going on. Both Josh and I have recommended your law firm to anyone who asks us if we know a good lawyer. Thanks to Attorney Harakal, Josh will be going back down to the VA on May 15, 2017, and getting into the PTSD program that he desperately needs. Thank you.

MATTHEW BANKS IS MONEY IN THE BANK! :-)

I can't express how grateful I am to have had Attorney Banks as my lawyer. Believe it or not, I actually was innocent. This is when you need a lawyer most, because they need to prove it in court. Wouldn't you believe that the judge actually believed the Plaintiff and DA, accepted evidence that was in...accurate...at first. Thankfully, I had Matthew Banks on my side. He cross examined the Plaintiff for 45 minutes, making a fool of them and their false allegations. He saved me from going to jail because he had the skills to do so! I wouldn't recommend anybody else but Matthew Banks to represent someone in court. I feel very safe and confident with the Banks Law Group.

Awesome guy and lawyer!

Mr. Banks took the time to make sure I understood and agreed to everything happening in my case. He made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. He's a great lawyer and a great guy. Its clear he enjoys what he does and puts all his effort and skill into every case, even a trivial one. ...I would highly recommend him to anybody needing a lawyer in the future.

Excellent in Criminal Law

I was recently involved in a criminal matter from an incident that happened several years ago. Mr. Banks handled the matter wonderfully. I would recommend him to anyone needing assistance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
