Home away from home
My son had a warrant for his arrest from another state that he once lived in. He was arrested and eventually was taken back to that state. I submitted a question online and Matt Faucette picked up my case. He reached out to me about 9pm that night, which was so impressive to me. After hearing wha...

Expungement
We approached Mr Faucette for a possible early expungement in 2015 before the new NC expungement law passed in 2017. Beyond the consultation, we didn't hear much from him after we paid the fee, which was three times of that from another lawyer we used later on to file the expungement in 2017. I u...

don't hire him outside of criminal law
He lied to me. don't hire him for anything other than criminal law, I made that mistake and he gave my opponent free legal advice and helped him strike a better deal than what he was asking for. My opponent committed perjury but Faucett disregarded that entirely just to get rid of my case. A complete...

Unsuccessful expungement
I hired and paid him to do an expungment. Of course the payment was received but the expungement was never processed. I attempted to call and email him for an update and the status but he gave me some run-around answer that was not consistent with the courts. He never refunded me the money I paid h...
Response from Attorney Matt Faucette: Given that the individual client who posted this review did not leave their name, I unfortunately cannot respond specifically to the client or to the underlying issue. That being said, because it is a fairly rare occurrence for my clients to be dissatisfied with my service and representation, I am close to certain that I can recall this incidence (from 7 years ago) and this client's name (which I will obviously not share for attorney/client confidentiality purposes). If I am recalling this client properly, she had retained me to represent her in a "possession of marijuana" case. I was able to get the case dismissed for her (as well as a companion case for her boyfriend). She then asked me to file an expunction for her. I did that. Unfortunately, under NC law at that time, an individual who had already filed for, and had already been granted, an expunction for a previously dismissed case, could not avail themselves of another expunction. She had apparently been charged with "harassing phone calls" in a different county in 2002 and she had requested for that charge to be expunged in 2004. When I interviewed her for the 2008 case, she did not remember filing that expunction and, as a result, she did not disclose to me that she had already used her expunction already. If she had, I would have advised that she would not be allowed another expunction, and I would not have done the work to seek another expunction. So, I drafted and filed all the expunction documentation, and when the request was finally denied, I advised her of the fact that she had previously filed for an expunction. Regarding this poster's allegation that I did not return her fee, I must admit that I do not recall returning any fee. I was hired to represent her in the misdemeanor drug case and was thankfully able to get the charges dismissed for her. I actually didn't charge her any additional fees to handle the expunction, so I did not return any fees. That being said, it is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS my goal to provide caring service and quality legal representation to every client, and when a client is not satisfied, I welcome the opportunity to address the client's concerns. If this poster ever reads my response, I would certainly welcome the opportunity to discuss any issues with her. (And if this poster is not the client I am herein describing, I welcome that phone call as well.) As an attorney, and more importantly, as a Christian attorney, I try to do all my work for the glory of the Lord (Colossians 3:23). I am saddened to learn that there is a past client who obviously felt betrayed by my care of her and by my care of her legal matter. I pledge to her, and to all future clients that I am honored to represent, to at all times offer my best service and representation for a fair and reasonable fee. May God bless you all!!!
