Law Office of Hammad Matin

Mr. Matin and his firm are great people. He fought for my case and never let me down. When I thought things were going south in Trial, he quickly turned things around and 14 jurors ruled a Not Guilty Verdict for my charges. He battled a tough prosecutor who was contempt on sending me to prison. He i...s professional and assertive and gets the job done with results. I am grateful for Mr. Matin and his staff.

Wonderful, smart, and compassionate attorney

My case was unusual. Mr. Matin worked with me more than any attorney would have. He did all the work, not a legal assistant. I would especially recommend his work to anyone with special needs or situations. He helped me through my ordeal in a very professional and compassionate matter and the out...come was better than I expected.

Greatful for Hammad Verdit___Not Guilty

Wow! I'm Forever Grateful To A To a Lawyer I was Introduce to, Due to My Son A Man that had a lot to loose being charged with A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMENT in Charles County Maryland where All men of Color are looked at as 2nd class citizen's and Guilty before judgment day....I walked in to his offi...cer last year in 3/30/14 begging him to help my son. He Made no Promise except to fight for him. He did and MY son walked out of that Court room with his life back and VERDICT OF NO GULTY...IF YOU WANT A TRUSTWORLY LAWYER WHO WILL FIGHT AND MAKE NO FALSE PROMSES. HAMMAD IS THE MAN....THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART...from a single mother.

Best lawyer in Charles County

Hammad promised me one thing when I walked into his office, that every charge (15) would be thrown out of the window. Through the numerous plea bargains I was offered, and a year of court cases Hammad stood strong by his word. He's not one of the lawyers who works for the govt as a representative of ...you but he works for you and your well being against a government. He isn't the lawyer to avoid the challenge and take a plea bargain. As he prepared his case we consulted and went through things together keeping our line of communication open as if I was a lawyer to. The approach he took to the situation was something I did not expect. He's a person first and a lawyer second and that's what I think makes him great from the first day you walk through the door until you receive your not guilty verdict. My case was unique because the prosecutor and judge were working together against me. I did not wish to continue but Hammad being confident in his ability wished to move forward. My confident was in him to so we went forward and a hour after the closing statements we received 15 not guilty verdicts. The best decision I could make and you could make is putting your life in the hands of Hammad matin. I would like to say thank you again to Mr Hammad matin for the great work you do and will continue to do for our community.

Awesome lawyer!

Hammad is professional yet down to earth. He was responsive, nonjudgmental, and understanding of my situation. Hammad provided explanations for all scenarios and the impact each would make. I found him trustworthy and knowledgeable. I would utilize his service in the future and have no qualms abo...ut recommending him to others.
