Dr.

I was arrested for a Felony charge of Pos/Intent (3lb). I then retained Mr. Matthews as my lawyer, within 2 court dates, Mr Matthews was able to convince the Dea to reIease the case under Pre Trial Intervention. I Will Have to Complete (PTI) Drug Courses for 12 weeks and will walk away with no Felony...'s. Mr Matthewes is a Great Lawyer

Awesome job

Mr. Matthews was not only my lawyer he became someone I was able to trust. With his extensive knowledge of the law he was always straightforward with me letting me know the good, bad and the ugly. And with said knowledge he was able to turn my felony case with time served (20yrs) to no time served. H...e's a wonderful attorney and person to have in your corner. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great experience: I got a better outcome than expected for a price I could afford

Careton Matthews was more than helpful on my theft by shoplifting case than I could have ever asked. Mr Matthews was able to have my expedite warrant remove and my case dismissed without me ever having to step into a court room. He was very professional and considerate when it came to my concerns. I... would definitely recommend him as a refferal as well as hire him again if needed. TWO THUMBS UP!

Excellent Service

I recently had a Meth and promethazine trafficking case and Mr. Matthews was able to display the weakness in the state's evidence against me. Not only did Mr. Matthews convince the DA and the judge to reduce the trafficking to a lesser charge, but I was also able to walk away with no felony on my rec...ord, no prison time and no convictions. The state wanted 10 years prison time served but again, I was able to walk away under probation and no prison time. In addition, Mr. Matthews also had a bench warrant uplifted for me as well. I give all thanks to God because he deserves the victory, but the father worked through Mr. Careton Matthews to get me out of this situation. Highly recommended, my regards, Mr. Key.
