Honest

Honest lawyer. I got into some trouble with weed never had a record and did not want to do the first time offenders program I found Mr. Mathew on a google search and went in the office to meet him. We spent some time brainstorming Possible options. If I didn’t understand something or needed to talk ...to my lawyer and couldn’t get in contact with him penny would help. Penny is Amazing! I would highly recommend this law firm! If I ever need any legal help Again i know Who I’ll be calling! -janeida

Favorable outcome

I got arrested for hash oil which is a felony in Virginia. I was very concerned as this could drastically change my life for the worst. I had previously called several lawyers but no one heard me out like Susanna of Robinson Law. The consultation with her really stood out among the other lawyers and ...firms, which really made it a easy decision for me. She emailed me all the information and from then on out my freedom was in Mr. Crowleys' hands. He was very professional and kept me informed on what to expect at each court date. The eight months of waiting for lab results caused a lot of anxiety for me but I knew Mr Crowley and Robinson Law were on my side. He sat down with me at my final court appearance and went through the options (I was pleasantly surprised that there were a few to choose from). In the end I think he got me a very favorable outcome, which was simple marijuana possession, a $250 fine, can't get in trouble for a year, six months suspended VA license (which is irrelevant for me since I am out of state). The best part was no probation! Thanks Mr. Crowley, you really delivered!

Outstanding Legal Service!

Mr. Crowley provided outstanding legal service for my father and we are beyond thankful for his help. My father was wrongfully charged for possession of a marijuana and reckless driving; other attorneys had told us that the 1st offenders program would be my father's best scenario and would tell us to... settle for that because we had no chance of getting my father's drug charges dismissed. Mr. Crowley did not only provide hope for my father, but he saved my father's job by getting the drug possession completely dismissed without the 1st offenders program and the reckless driving charge reduced to improper driving. Thank you Mr. Crowley!!

Matt Crowley is a LIFESAVER

After being charged with misdemeanor drug possession I thought my whole life was over in an instant. Not only did Matthew deal with my high anxiety throughout the entire legal process, he was incredibly prepared for court and knew the arguments inside and out. I can't express how much his calm demean...or helped me throughout this process. In the end, thanks to his amazing efforts, all charges were dropped. I recommend anyone going through a similar situation to contact Matt -- best money I've ever spent and I will forever be indebted to him for his legal expertise.

Matthew, Is An Excellent Lawyer !

Matthew Crowley , represented me In October 2015, When I Was charged with A Misdemeanor Drug Charge . Basically, My Second Offense. Matthew, exceeded All of my expectations, in every Aspect . Ive Had a few previous Experiences with Lawyers, & He Definetly went above and beyond, with handling my case.... I Most Likely Would have been on some type of probation, In Addition to a suspended license, if I didn't choose Matthew To represent me. My Case was Basically dismissed to a Small fine , and my license was not affected at all ! Which I was very Pleased about ! He is Very easy to get in contact with, which is very important to me . I had a lot of questions and concerns , and he had all the right answers , right when I needed them. I Did not Ever expect for My case to go As smoothly As He Made it. I couldn't be happier , And I wouldn't suggest anyone other than Him to represent someone !

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.
