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.
Matt Acuff
Replied last April 02, 2026Joseph - 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
