Best Lawyer in the State

I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Seriously! In my case, I was accused of shoplifting. It was a misunderstanding and an honest mistake but nonetheless, I was still charged for a crime. Scared and worried for the possible charges I was facing, I knew I needed to hire a lawyer. I searched ...on Avvo and found a couple lawyers with free consultations and that’s when I came across Matt. He was very honest and upfront from the get go. He informed me that he used to be a prosecutor, which gave me a gut feeling to hire him on the spot. It gave me reassurance that he could look at my case from both stand points and come up with the best possible result. Also, he’s very fair with his pricing! His assistant, Sandra, is amazing as well! She would call to check in and keep me updated with everything that was going on with my case. I met with Matt a handful of times and right before my court date. He would go over every aspect of my case and made sure he had a clear understanding of what happened. Once my court date came, he showed up when he said he would and came prepared to defend my case. Luckily, my case was dismissed. If you by chance are accused of a crime and need a good.. scratch that.. THE BEST lawyer by your side, finish reading this review and give Matt a call! You will not be disappointed, I promise!

"Matthew Ballard is an incredibly skilled, dedicated, and experienced criminal trial attorney.
