Matt Faucette is the best!

Matt Faucette is an excellent attorney. My case was complicated and lasted six months until it was resolved, but Mr Faucette was tenacious and thoughtfully supported me throughout the ordeal. I believe it was his expertise and great knowledge of the law and the court system that won my case. Thank yo...u Mr Faucette, you are the best!

Yes recommend

I hired Matt for my son who was erroneously arrested for a weapons charge when actually he was just trying to sell his work tools. This misconception tore our family apart. I found Matt to be very knowledgeable and truthful. He won the case and had the charges dropped. I would definitely recommend.... He is a caring compassionate Christian man, (who sometimes isn’t good about returning phone calls).

Matt shows up and handles situations better than I thought possible!!

I met Matt 10 years ago after getting sober, when I needed help with multiple lingering speeding ticket in multiple counties. The courts would not allow me to ‘just pay them off’ and he was the only attorney who responded to me for help. He replied “I can help you” and he did. Since then, has helped ...me multiple times. Each time I have called, he has shown up and he has handled my situations better than I expected. Words to describe Matt: Diligent, ethical, knowledgeable, incredible patience, skilled, reliable, professional; I could go on and on, with nothing negative to say. He is genuinely a good man, with a good reputation and relationships with his fellow attorneys, judges and DA’s that reflect in his work. My last issue was the worst and very difficult to deal with. Not one time did Matt judge me. He showed up and handled the situations, once again better than I thought possible. I am forever grateful to Matt Faucette. You will be too!

Alcohol related

So fortunate to find an attorney that stood by his word and fight nonstop to clear my name. Matt was able to interpret and defend my case on extensive knowledge of the law. The evidence presented head many holes in the collection and presentation of evidence. He was able to see and defend my case bas...ed upon his extensive knowledge of the law.

Six stars

After my arrest, my daughter said she knew Matt was the man for the job when he expressed how sorry he was to be needed for the huge challenge I had to overcome. I will never forget the day Matt visited me in county (he was a regular visitor) when he abruptly got up to leave, saying he was going to ...get me out of there. He knew I was innocent. He listened to me, worked with my public defender and me, and kept my loved ones informed. He encouraged me to not lose faith during some very very dark days. I will never forget the day we appeared in court for a bail reduction hearing. His passionate presentation of the facts in my case dwarfed the lame weak pleas of the prosecution, resulting in an amazing reduction in bail that got me home where I could more fully participate in the accumulation of evidence that clearly proved my innocence (and yes, the system treated me as guilty until proven innocent). I wish Matt could have seen me today, living a full happy life that he helped me recreate. Matt saved my life and I will be eternally grateful.
