Best Lawyer in Town
Matthew Crosby and his wife were incredible to work with! Best experience I’ve ever had with a law firm. He takes the time to listen and respond to any concerns you may have. He explains everything clearly, walks you through the process, and works tremendously hard to achieve the most favorable results in your case. Highly recommend!

Mr. Crosby’s support triggered the catalyst that changed my life for the better.
This review is long overdue, but I digress; A few years ago, I did dumb stuff running around drinking with a dumb abusive boy, I made a poor judgment call and owned it. My heart hurt, I sought penance; but more than anything, I just needed someone to hear and believe my story. One of my closest friends found Matt Crosby and I remember the first day I met him. As humiliated as I was, my father taught me you look a man in the eye and stand when you shake his hand. And from that moment, Mr. Crosby stood by me 110% of the way despite the absolute mess I dropped on his desk. He is empathetic but down to earth; he’s not going to tell you something just bc he thinks you want to hear it, he won’t give you false hope if there is none. He will shoot straight with you on where you went wrong, what we can do to fix it, AND how I can protect myself from making the same poor decisions over and over. But he LISTENS. He went way above and beyond for me, and I have been trying to pay it forward by passing that life lesson along to those who may also need it. Mr Crosby inspired the confidence in me to leave an abusive relationship, set myself some goals, and not be a dumb dumb lol Since then, I’ve had twins (plus a bonus daughter!), and haven’t drank in a couple years now. I happened to be on Avvo today looking for representation for Plaintiff’s side of the field and the very first top rated GA lawyer that rated was Mr Matt Crosby. I couldn’t scroll past without vouching for him as resiliently as he defended me in court. Like Ryan Reynolds (but much taller), he is an absolute GEM of a human being.

Very Pleased!
Matthew was referred to me by a good friend. He explained the whole process when I first consulted with him and was very genuine. After hiring him, he let me know what I needed to do on my end to be ready for the proceedings. I was kept informed during the whole process and he worked diligently to achieve the best scenario for my situation. I would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Matt is a great lawyer and an even better person
You won't be able to find a more personable and honorable lawyer than Matt. Before he talked to me about my case, he wanted to know what kind of person I was. No one ever hopes to need a lawyer, but with Matt on your team, you can rest confidently that your case will be handled with the utmost care and attention. He got to work as soon as I hired him and didn't stop until the case was resolved. Matt is highly professional and is very responsive to that questions and inquiries that you will most certainly have. I would highly recommend Matt to anybody in need of a lawyer. He did everything I wanted him to do and more.

Best attorney in town!
Mr. Crosby was extremely reliable, professional and more when working with our illegal search and seizure case. He was able to have our case dismissed. Mr. Crosby and his wife were supportive during the worst time of our lives. We will always be grateful for their great work and recommend them to anyone in need of a dependable attorney.

Best in the business
If you are looking for the best, you owe it to yourself to call Matt Crosby. Right from the start, his friendly and personable demeanor will make it seem like your chatting with an old friend. Matt is strait forward and leaves out any bs. Immediately deploying your strategy with precision and horsepower, he gets it done with authority while leaving you confident and relaxed that you’re in good hands.. I’ll also say that I have not dealt with many folks in ANY industry that are as prompt with communication. I honestly can not think of a single negative thing to say about this law firm, which brings me back to my opening sentence.

Great attorney
Matt is an expert attorney. He knows the law and provided on target advice as we moved thru the judicial process. He kept us informed and responded immediately to questions and concerns. He did exactly what he said he would do. Even during the pandemic he was able to move the case forward to a great conclusion. Hire Matt because he knows his craft; he knows the prosecutors; he knows the law; and he will treat your family like his family. He was worth his fee. If you need an attorney in Gwinnett county hire Matt because you will be very happy with the outcome.

Best Criminal defense attorney in The city
Matt Crosby is exceptional at his work and in guiding me through the most difficult CRIMINAL case . He is someone who respects you ,He was sympathetic to my situation and he fought for me tooth and nail WITH FACTS . He has basically held my hand through the entire process and ALWAYS answered, or replied quickly to my phone calls and emails. He truly is a SUPER, CARING, COMPASSIONATE attorney that shows that his clients are people he cares for and takes care of. He is the best decision you can make for yourself if you find yourself in a situation when you need representation.

Look no Further...Absolutely the Best Attorney!
Being an out of state resident, I chose Matthew based on his prior experience and ratings and I am so very glad that I did! He exceeded all expectations. He was very prompt in contacting me and answering any questions that I had. He offered valuable insight and worked closely and promptly with my attorney in SC to expedite my case in Georgia with the best outcome imaginable, while explaining every step of the way to ensure that I understood the entire process. Words cannot express how very thankful I am to have found him. Thanks Matthew for everything!!
