Hire Matt for the best representation
I hired Matt for a misdemeanor charge that I obtained. I was extremely happy with my representation. I met with him and he presented me with my options. He ended up getting my charge dismissed without me ever having to show up in court. This was the best-case scenario for me. The office staff was also very professional and courteous when I interacted with them, making the whole process easy. I have recommended Matt, and his partner Mike, to all of my friends. Hire them for the best representation.

Back to School Speeding Ticket
My son was stopped for a speeding violation while heading to school for the Fall Semester. Both Matthew Suczynski and Michael Paduchowski worked together to get a full dismissal of the violation.
Thank you for a great job.

Great!
I was told my case was handled using a two-attorney approach; Attorneys Matt Suczynski and Mike I am very happy with the results. They dismissed my traffic citation and I didn't have to spend any time at the courthouse.
Great service and communication from the start until the case was dismissed. Thank you!

Highly recommend for traffic citations.
I would recommend the Law Office of Matthew Charles Suczynski to handle your legal problems in North Carolina. 1. Being from out of state; I did not have to physically appear in court, for getting a citation when I momentarily exceeded the speed limit in Durham County. It was much more convenient and less costly for me to have them represent me in court. 2. They were professional, easy to deal with, and explained all the details and costs in a clear manner. 3. Their knowledge of the courts and laws of North Carolina made them an obvious choice; instead of me trying to stumble through my own defense. 4. They reduced my fine and kept my driving record clean (0 points and no insurance rate increase).

Traffic citation following light collision
Following a light collision on a merging lane, the law enforcement officer decided to give me a citation, for "failure to reduce speed as necessary to avoid colliding with a vehicle". I had pushed the brake on time, when the car in the front stopped abruptly with no apparent reason (no stop sign, just a give way, and no other car in sight), but I had touched the car in the front slightly. The damage to my bumper was minimal, as was the back of vehicle in the front of me (total cost of the repairs end up being about 1000$ for each car). I was very nervous to go in court. I decided to hire a lawyer, and I was more than positively surprised by the professionalism and the very easy communication with the Law Office of Matthew Charles Suczynski. They had kept contact through the process, especially when the first court date was postponed due to inclement weather, and contacted directly my insurance agent on the case for documents required in court. The use of two attorney approach (Attorneys Matt Suczynski and Mike Paduchowski) allowed them to get the best outcome : case dismissed. As a result I have a clean driving record and the increase in my insurance cost will be minimal.
I recommend their service to anyone who need legal rights protection.

Amazing results.
I chose Matt and Mike because they have excellent reviews. They came through. My ticket I think was 18 over, and they just informed me it was DISMISSED. I am so thankful. They don’t just fight to get it reduced like others I’ve read reviews on, they go all the way.

Speeding Ticket
I got a speeding ticket in Vance County... going 70 in a 55. I also had one less than 3 years ago, so that was on my driving record. I contacted Matthew because of the cheap fee and all of the 5 star reviews he had, and I'm glad I did. They told me upfront that since I had a speeding ticket less than 3 years ago they weren't sure if they would be able to keep points off my insurance, but they said it would be wise to still get a lawyer... so I did. They emailed me the day of the court appearance to let me know the results. They got my speeding ticket down to a improper equipment and it cost me NO dmv points, and NO insurance points. They were a huge help, offered a very cheap fee, and got me out of paying a higher insurance bill. I would highly recommend The Law Offices of Matthew Charles Suczynski.

Speeding ticket
With the busy traffic and trying to get to work on time I have gotten a couple speeding tickets/ Matt was quick to take care of them with no points! And didn’t have to miss a days work in court. I highly recommend him on all your attorney needs.

I can't recommend enough!
I hired Mr. Suczynski recently after being involved in a traffic incident. I explained to Mr. Suczynski what had happened and we discussed our best option. He handled the situation very professionally and had the case dismissed without having to go to court! I am extremely satisfied with my experience and would absolutely recommend Mr. Suczynski to anyone involved in a traffic dispute.

Represented me for accident ticket
I called Mr Suczynskis office and talked to one of his staff members. They told me exactly what was going to happen in court and how much that it would cost me. I paid the nominal cost, provided all the relevant paperwork and Mr Suczynski and his team took care of the rest. Very pleased with the outcome and would use again.

Excellent service and outcome
These 2 lawyers, Matt and Mike, are great. They have handled a citation in the past for both myself and my son, both with favorable outcomes , and recently, they resolved a speeding ticket for my wife. After procuring their services, they handled everything and even got the ticket dismissed. Hire these guys to help you!

client
I contacted about a half dozen attorneys after receiving mailings following a speeding ticket on Interstate 85 (doing 80 in a 65) in North Carolina. I decided to go with Matt Suczynski's firm and I'm SO happy I did. I had no previous speeding tickets and the most I was hoping for was an "improper equipment/non-moving violation" outcome. Instead I received a "complete DISMISSAL" of my ticket. That means no court costs or fines and no points on my driver's license. And most importantly, it won't raise my insurance rates. (If so, I'll be shopping around for a new provider.) Matt and his partner Mike Paduchowski completely exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful. My 40-plus year driving record remains clean. Thanks so much.
