Careton Ray Matthews

I was falsely accused of stalking during Covid-19 (courts closed and barred from where I pay rent). I reached out to Attorney Matthews and he returned my call VERY quickly. I am forever grateful for the response and hard work he did to get an emergency hearing granted and the matter heard when the ...courts were typically not hearing cases. He got the matter dismissed. The positive outcome of my case was due to Mr. Matthews' personal attention and hard work. It is obvious he is dedicated to his clients and work for the right reasons. I’ll not hesitate to recommend Mr. Careton Matthews to friends and family needing any kind of criminal legal help.

Over the years I have utilized the Law Offices of Careton Matthews for a variety of legal matters. Anytime a legal matter has come up in my immediate or extended family I have never hesitated to reach out to his firm. His office staff is friendly and extremely professional at all times. Whenever I've... consulted with either Mr. Matthews, or his junior associate Attorney Teresa Mahfouz, they've treated me with the greatest respect and understanding. I always feel more confident about a case when I know this firm is on my side!

I was on probation in Rockdale County for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon when I was falsely charged with 6 counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault and 6 counts of Child Molestation. All serious felonies and looking at life if convicted. Firstly, the charges in Dekalb triggered a Revocation o...f Probation in Rockdale where the Judge could have turned my probation into serving 10 years in prison. I hired Attorney Matthews and he got the revocation of probation Dismissed. Then in Dekalb the prosecutor felt the case was problematic for the state to take to trial but didn't want to dismiss the case. Attorney Matthews was able to get the Child Molestation charges dismissed and the 6 felony charges of Aggravated Sexual Assault dropped to 5 misdemeanors. Attorney Matthews arranged it so that I could take an Alford Plea which basically is saying that I was able to maintain my innocence and say that I did not do any of the allegations but I didn't want to chance taking the case to trial to leave my fate up to 12 jurors. I was facing life in prison and given 5 years misdemeanor probation. No Jail Time. Attorney Matthews is determined and a people's Attorney, I felt connected to him as not just my attorney but someone who was truly concerned about my well being. It is obvious when Mr. Matthews enters the court room that he is well known and respected by everyone which is of absolute importance. I felt that with the 25 years of experience Attorney Matthews possesses, he has good relationships in the courtroom while at the same time, he's not one to be pushed around and that's what you need in an Attorney. His staff is very welcoming and helpful at all turns.

I can not thank Careton Matthews and his staff enough for saving my license on several occasion, his office was instrumental in restoring my trust with faith in justice. I hired Mr. Matthews in 2018 for a super speeder traffic ticketed that spiraled into several traffic tickets and a lot of run ins w...ith the law. At that time I was experiencing a lot of financial woes and family issues. Mr. Matthews never judge me or gave up fighting for me in each case, even when I was creating a bigger mess. Not only was Mr. Matthews capable of saving my licenses but he became a voice of reason that helped me persevere and become a productive citizen again during a time that I was confused and broken. Special thank you to Mrs. Page for always remaining common and professional even when the situation got HOTT!! -God's Child
