Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Matt for any matter. I texted him from the start and immediately responded back. Very professional and understanding, takes the time to listen to all your concerns. Upfront about everything, was very patient with me and all my questions. He got me the best result in court Please... reach out to him if your in need you will be satisfied you did.

Tireless advocate

Our son was in a minor accident just prior to the pandemic. He is autistic and not the best communicator. The police cited him for “following too closely”, which is a fairly serious violation with lots of points. Mr. Acuff worked tirelessly across 8 months of court closures, stay at home orders, two ...mandatory driving school orders online and across state lines, to achieve an incredible outcome for our family. We are endlessly grateful to him for his hard work and tenacious resolve. 10/10 would recommend.

Not Satisfied

I was not satisfied with Mr. Acuff’s representation in my case. I believe he intentionally ignored the facts in my case; ignored my concerns; and did not get the best result possible. I would not recommend him.

Joseph - I appreciate the feedback. We did get a very significant reduction in your case with a non-conviction resolution that will ultimately result in dismissal of the charges. The law does not allow me to present certain perceived information which can also at times be counter to a client's best interest. I do appreciate you reaching out more recently for assistance on a separate matter and I'm happy with the result we obtained given all the facts and circumstances. Wishing you the best. -Matt Acuff
