Proactive and Professional

After a thorough consultation, I hired Matt to be my criminal defense attorney in a very serious case. In my case, I was not guilty of the charges and explained the situation to Matt. Matt was incredibly understanding and supportive and came up with a plan to proactively resolve my case. Thanks to hi...s dedication my charges were dismissed in months, when the expected timeline is a year plus. He was incredibly responsive to my questions and concerns and explained everything thoroughly and in a way that I could understand. When I got anxious he was able to explain how to best approach each new challenge. Matt is incredibly knowledgable, responsive, professional, and dedicated.

The right attorney

Matt Acuff is an amazing attorney. He worked with me, taking the time to understand all the details in my case. With his experience and knowledge, he helped me to make the right decision on my case, and pursue justice for my family and me. He and his office responded to my questions and case quickly.... They kept me updated on the details from my case and we achieve the best possible outcome. I am glad I counted with Matt Acuff as my advocate.

Well-infromed lawyer who will get your case resolved in a very timely manner.

Mr. Acuff is a very professional, thoughtful and respondent lawyer who is well-informed in his area of expertise. I was involded in a disciplinary investigation from my school, after consulting with Mr. Acuff I decided to hire him immediately and I was glad that I made the right decision in the first... place. Mr. Acuff kept in close contact with all parties while keeping me updated about the process. He is also very responsive to my questions whenever I reached out to him and reviewd the materials and evidence I sent to him very closely. He provided me with great advice during the period of internal investigation. The case was closed within three weeks without any disciplinary actions or sanctions on me, nor any record on my profile. If you need a lawyer, I strongly recommend Mr. Acuff becuase he will alway be happy to help and do amazing job for you.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
