Domestic Assault and Battery

Matthew Crawley, well where do I begin, I'll start by saying this is the defense attorney anyone needs! I was accused of an alleged domestic assault and battery against a household member. Needless to say Matthew represented me, he was able to get me a decent plea deal which lessed my charges compare...d to an assault and battery charge. Though the charges were better, at this point in life I couldn't accept the plea deal. Matthew and I talked about ever possible outcome in regards to the pending charges and plea deals. He gave me sound legal advice and also advice me not to accept the plea deals just so I wouldn't regret them later on down the road. Matthew supported me in my decision to go to trial and not accept the deals. Over the 6 months of my case pending, with a heavy work load, Matthew communicated with me via text, email, and telephone. He answered my questions within minutes or couple of hours, he was very flexible with his communication. Also, I knew Matthew was thorough within minutes of talking to him. I had talked to several attorneys over the week and none of them really seemed to care about the outcome of my case they just wanted the money. Even before talking about the financial aspect, Matthew gave me the possible outcomes up front and in a sense let me know he had my back. I mean he talked to me like a family member and I felt extremely comfortable with making him my lawyer. Anyway after 6 months of my case pending and not accepting deals, Matthew was able to get my case dropped with thorough legal work. Overall, Matthew is the man for the job, he's worth every dime you'd spend from communication to representation. I can not thank this man enough for getting me off squeaky clean on such life changing charges. I repeat, if you need a defense attorney that will help you get the best outcome in your position reach out to Matthew. Pray he can take on your case because we are talking about the Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, (you get the point) of defense attorneys!!!
