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...t happened and the situation my son was in, Matt said he was going to try and help us with his situation. Being that I was in another state working with him with this matter, he did an awesome job with this case. I will recommend Matt Faucette to anyone that need a Lawyer for whatever reason. He was a God sent man for me and my son. Thanks Matt for all that you did for us. May God continue to bless you where you can continue to bless others.

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...nderstand that it may have been more difficult before the law was passed, but what was concerning was that it was difficult to hear from him or get a straight answer after the fee was paid. If we did receive a response, it wasn't a concrete no, this can't be done, or yes, we can move forward either. It wasn't until the law passed and I reached out about it, that I received an almost immediate response and was quoted another fee to have it filed. We decided to go with another attorney and the record has since been expunged, and we have moved on. It was an expensive lesson learned.

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... waste of money.
