AMAZING ATTONEY !!

I was convicted of a dui last year . I went through hell this last year dealing with it. My po violated me for basically not doing community service fast enough. This resulted in me having jail time over my head and I was supposed do turn my self in but I fell ill and didn’t do so. I was terrified, s...o I contacted me Matthews and told him everything that was going on, I already had heard such good things about him: I ended up hiring him for his services and he went to court and handle things so fast and gracefully. He not only got me out of jail time, he also made sure of everything I was signing. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to fight and BEAT a case!!!

Amazing Experience

Right off the back, I entered the office of Attorney Matthews and we began to create a genuine connection. His amount of professionalism and care for his clients is unmatched. The first conversation is centered around your well-being which generated great comfort for me. I could tell Attorney Ma...tthews is a man that steps in wisdom and abides by integrity. This explains why he is respected highly in the courtroom and by his clients. If you are still searching for a well equipped attorney, look no further! Attorney Matthews exceeds all expectations. '

Not Guilty on ALL charges

Mr. Matthews represented me on a case I was just acquitted of TODAY. I was charged with Armed Robbery, 2 Counts of Aggravated Assault. 2 counts of Possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. We took it to trail and beat ALL CHARGES. I would recommend Mr. Matthews to anybody. He took his ti...me, discussed my case with me thoroughly and came up with an impeccable defense. Mr. Matthews is one of, if not the BEST attornies I have ever witnessed. I couldn't have chose a better man to defend me!
