Excellent attorney

I hired Matthew for my DUI case. I have never been in trouble before and was very anxious about everything. I talked to several attorneys before, but decided to choose him because he was very thorough explaining everything and was open and honest about his thoughts for the outcome of the case. Matthe...w was very responsive to me throughout the process whenever I had questions. I had some extenuating circumstances and he explored every avenue in order to defend me. He ended up getting the charge reduced to a reckless and I’m very happy with the results. He was thoughtful, thorough, patient with all my questions and a very pleasant person to work with. You can’t go wrong choosing him as your attorney!

Highly recommend

When I needed representation, I had no idea where to start. After calling multiple firms, Robinson got back to me right away and scheduled a meeting within an hour. I met with a very capable and impressive paralegal first who explained how everything would work. I was soon emailed a detailed informat...ion packet that outlined every stage of the process and included even the most minute details about the judicial process. Whenever I had a question the firm got back to me that day with answers. When I met with Mr. Crowley, he allayed my fears and laid out a strategy to win. In court, Mr. Crowley explained everything in detail that was happening. He never guaranteed anything, but he honestly and accurately predicted possible outcomes. With his years of experience, he was ready for the other side's strategy, and expertly outmaneuvered them. I would highly recommend the Robinson firm and specifically Mr. Crowley. Without him, my life would be completely different today.

Thank you!

Mr. Crowley is honest, compassionate, and professional. As his client, he listened to my concerns, provided sound advice, and fought for me in court. A reckless driving ticket was reduced to a speeding ticket. If you need to go to Traffic Court, he will represent your interests. Highly recommended.

Outstanding representation - All charges were dropped.

From the beginning Matthew was incredible, taking time to answer all my questions and was always prompt to respond to inquiries and text messages. I was facing a driving on a suspended license charge and a minor infraction and his skillful representation resulted in the prosecutor voluntaryily pulli...ng both charges. Having never before faced a charge like this (which potentially could have included jail time if convicted) it was reassuring to have counsel who took time to always answer my questions and make me feel as calm as possible throughout. If you are in need of a criminal defense or traffic offense attorney, without a doubt Matthew Crowley gets my recommendation and a 5+ star rating.

Best lawyer for your needs

Matthew Crowley is the most professional and integrity filled person I've ever met !. I received a reckless ticket in Fairfax VA and it was not my fault but throttle failure of vehicle so I thought who would believe me ? The first few lawyers just about laughed at me but Matthew was very sympathetic ...to my dilemma and was straight forward with me discussed my options and percentage for conviction but said he was confident it would be ok . When trial day came he was a different person in front of judge and prosecutor he was like a lion on the attack and questioned the veracity of every question and statement so to make a long story short he proved my innocence beyond a shadow of a doubt and all charges dropped Matthew is incredible and highly recommended to sol e your problems !!!

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.
