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 als...o 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.

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 a...nd 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).

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.

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 th...ese guys to help you!

OUTSTANDING SERVICE!

Mr. Suczynski represented my son for a speeding ticket and was able to get his case completely DISMISSED! To say we are thrilled with the outcome is an understatement. The entire staff was professional, helpful and very responsive. I hope we don't require their services again, but if so they wil...l be my first call!
