Client

Attorney Matthews agreed to assist me with a legal matter after my other counsel left me without notice or explanation. He picked up the case and exercised great professionalism, wisdom, lawyering techniques, and astute insights into all parties invloved to get the desired outcome. He was accessible,... approachable, willing to allow me to have input into my case and gave excellent legal counsel. He was my partner in the case rather than just expecting me to a bystander. I appreciated this approach and gave me a sense of ownership too in fighting for my justice. Lastly, he is well respected by the courts and his peers which makes a huge difference. It took a while for Mother Justice to prevail, but in the end, she did. He was there every step of the way until we got the desired and just outcome. Highly recommend him if we want fair, just and sage representation that cares about you, your well being and the results.

Thank you!

Careton Matthews and his team were the best choice for my two serious felony cases in Fulton County and Cobb County. Ms. Paige and attorney Matthews gave me a sense of comfortability to ask limitless amount of questions in regards to my cases. My phone calls were always returned promptly. I've witn...essed attorney Matthews fight hard for me to leave the court room with the best outcome for my future. I can honestly say I felt represented by a team that genuinely care for me and I will always turn to attorney Matthews first for any legal advice moving forward. I would recommend them to anyone facing criminal charges. Deeply appreciative.

Thank you

I was in a car accident and Mr. Matthews law firm was very professional in handling all my needs. Mrs. Austin, who handles personal injury claims was in contact with me on every level. She let me know what was going on and I was pleased with the ending result.

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

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!
