Stop here and hire him!!!!

I was facing 3 charges and one of which was a felony. Mr. Matthews did everything he said he would do and more. He is very confident at his job and I walked away with no charges. I highly recommend him to be your attorney!

Look no further

My lawyer Careton Matthews did everything he said he would do for me. I had an outstanding bench warrant for driving without insurance. I called him before I was going to turn myself in. He walked me into the Henry County State Court and worked out deal. I didn’t even have to give my fingerprints!!! ...And the Judge even took $50 off of my fine. Look no further folks if your looking for excellent results Mr.Careton Matthews is the Attorney you are looking for.

The best lawyer I’ve ever hired!

I was charged with rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault. It was a dna hit from being swabbed when I went to prison. I was referred to hire Mr. Matthews. After hiring Mr. Mathews he gave me the trust and confidence I needed to believe that my case would be dismissed, I mean with charges like tha...t I was nervous feeling like I would never leave prison but when it was time to go to court, after my first 2 probable cause court dates had been reset because the officers were not showing up ,all I wanted was to go in front of the judge for a bond and I was growing weary for wanting to go home, but Mr. Mathews had confidence that I would receive a better outcome, And ask me to just trust him. He wanted the officer to show up so that he could show out. He proved to the judge and the whole courtroom that the evidence against me was weak and there was no probable cause. His argument was strong, intelligent, and well executed, so well that the judge seen it his way and dismissed the charges before there could ever be a case. I recommend Mr. Matthews not only because he’s good at what he do but he cares, he has great integrity and he makes u believe everything will be okay if he says it. He’s a good and God loving man. And I’m thankful for him allowing God to use him. So if you need a real good one hire Mr. Matthews

Dismissed Before Trial

Battery case against me that the CC D.A. filed additional charges (including simple battery, cruelty to children). CCPD purposefully omitted several facts in their report, including time stamped pictures during the incident. We had been on a 2 hour Calendar, but Mr. Matthews called to inform me tha...t the case was dismissed. By the way, This is actually the 2nd case (DUI 2014) that he got dismissed for me. Professional, knowledgeable and in my phone’s favorites (haha)
