Facing a reckless driving charge (Stafford - 61/30mph) I was rather motivated to find a competent & aggressive lawyer who would defend me in a creative manner. I researched many lawyers and found that the counsel at Price Benowitz, all had a common theme. They were effective and got results. Don't... be fooled by his pic on AVVO ( ala Zack Galifinakis) upon seeing him in the courthouse, I was relieved to see a rather striking & imposing figure. Mr. Crowley stands about 6'5" & looks to be about 260, and carries with him a command presence that is not found in the other lawyers present in the courtroom. For me, this authoritative demeanor translated to confidence in the courtroom. He was prepared for trial, did what was expected. With the Deputy on the ropes,... one, two buckle my shoe...Charge dismissed!!! I'm paying court costs & out the door...I might have had a unique situation, but that's the creative aspect I was looking for. Bottom line, Mr. Crowley gets results. Everyone of my friends is asking for his number to keep on stand by, just in case. A good Lawyer IS hard to come by!!! That was money well spent, to know that my clearence would not be effected or my insurance wouldn't go up for 7 years, or I would have a perminate class 1 misdemeanor on my record for life!!!! Thanks Matt, -M

Matt helped my husband and I with a terrible neighbor problem. Thanks to him, we were able to force the neighbor to behave, allowing us to sell the property and leave for greener pastures and better neighbors. Matt was aggressive and had a lot of experience with this type of problem. He understood... the law, predicted the best possible outcome, and led us to our goal of selling the property without further incident or liability to us, and we were very worried about liability. He was highly recommended to me by another attorney I trusted who simply didn't want to take on a case in our county. That meant a lot to me. We cannot recommend him enough.

My son was facing a mandatory (5) year sentence based on the charges and circumstances that were against him. However, Mr. Crowley's experience, knowledge, and attentiveness to the details led him to thoroughly research all information pertaining to my son's case ie.witnesses, statements, and argu...ment of the District Attorney's Office (DA). His ability to break down the information and his effectiveness to articulate circumstances from facts helped my son receive a "NOT GUILTY" verdict at his trial. As a result, I can personally co-sign with many of his previous clients he is clearly one of the best defense attorney's in the Northern Virginia area. He is well diverse in many skilled areas but, his oral articulation of the law and effectiveness to convey law to judges and jury panel sets him apart from the standard. I highly recommend Mr. Crowley for anyone needing a good defense attorney. On a final note, most important, was his his integrity. Mr. Crowley never sold false hope.. He was honest from the first time of our meeting/or consultation. He never mislead me with his strategy or the various possibilities of the outcome. He is definitely a lawyer if needed I was exercise my right to obtain again.

Essentially, Matthew Crowley was referred to me after my lawyers were switched around. It took MULTIPLE tries for him to contact me, which he never did. After 3 phone calls, and the DAY BEFORE my trial, he decides to call me and asks why I am concerned and that nothing can happen until the day of the... trial. I say okay and am, of course, concerned for my trial. I asked him if the papers I was going to provide were okay and he agreed that they were. The day of my trial was fine as I had asked him what to expect, and he says he's not sure, which is (of course) understandable. He tells me I should not expect my misdemeanors to be dropped, which is exceptionally disheartening. What ended up happening is that the prosecutor said that my community service that I had completed beforehand was good, but didn't look authentic. This is where I am most disappointed in Mr. Crowley because I had specifically ASKED if the format of my community service was fine and he said it was. This conversation happened over the phone after I had called him and his law firm 4 times to make sure everything was okay. I believe that had I brought a more formal account of my community service, I could've had my charge reduced even further. He was overall very detached from me as a client and did not care very much about the state I was in. However, I let this all go because my charge had been reduced as I had no prior charges. I was grateful. I have called and contacted his law firm maybe 7-10 times in order to get my charge expunged, and have received very little response. He responded once and when I had follow-up questions (which is my right), he never responded. If he is to dismiss me and think it is right to ignore his client then so be it, and it is my right to write this review and inform everyone of his negligence. If he does want to work on my expungement with me then he should let me know. I have given him 2 stars for getting the bare minimum job done, but nothing else. He is a sub-par lawyer, and I would NOT recommend him to anyone who wants someone who will thoroughly go through your case with you. Because I am young, I felt as if he was not taking my case seriously. Please avoid him at all costs!

Hired Mr. Crowley to represent me but after paying him in full up front he had little time or patience to talk with me about my case. I waited 3 weeks in jail before he had time to drop by for 15 min to talk to me. Not much time for the Money I paid. He always had other clients he had to deal with.... My case was put on the back burner. I had to spend the Max time in jail since he did nothing to get me out on Bail. If I had been able to get out I could have been seen by my Dr. and referred to a rehab Hospital for my alcoholism. He said the Commonwealth Attorney would not let me out on Bond. I can't find that possible. I own my House, Four cars, and have horses. I have no criminal history I'm 52 years old and have never had any legal problems. I can't get a bond? I don't think he even tried.
