Careton Ray Matthews

Attorney Matthews is one of the best attorneys in the field. I hired Attorney Matthews to represent and defend my son on very serious charges for two separate cases. Although his fees were reasonable, he worked with me on the fees to do both cases and a payment arrangement. Being a law school g...raduate, I understood the seriousness of the charges for each case, the potential long term jail sentences and the challenges that Atty. Matthews faced with each case within our system. He fought hard for my son and worked diligently within the system to get the best possible outcome for both cases. I am very pleased with the outcome of both cases. I have no doubt that God used Attorney Matthews and his top-notch legal skills to keep my son from doing any prison time while also getting him placed in an alternative program that will help him to make the necessary changes to turn his life around and make better life decisions that will not negatively impact his future. Additionally, Attorney Matthew has provided excellent representation to several of my family members and friends on different legal matters. I respect him, trust him and highly recommend him as an excellent attorney who will fight for the best possible outcome for your case. Thank You Again & God Bless You Attorney Matthews!

​​Mr. Careton Matthews took my sons case when no one else would touch the case due to we were going to trial in 48 hours. Not only did he take the case but he worked with me on his fees and was able to get my son 6 months probation instead of the 5 years in prison he was facing. Even after all this..., which was enough for me, he reduced his fees. Mr. Matthews you have restored my faith in the justice system for I was sure my son would be taken away from me for the next 5 years. Words cannot express the thanks or gratitude I have for Mr. Matthews. You’re not only an awesome attorney but an awesome man as well.

My boyfriend hired Mr.Matthews for a criminal defense matter. I totally wish we had did our research. I feel as if he told us what we wanted to hear to get our money for the case. He assured us that it was a weak case with lack of evidence and assured us he could beat the case. After we paid him in ...full he wasn't keeping us up to date on anything. I would call his phone and leave messages everyday it almost became impossible to contact him and find out what was going on as far as the case. Ultimately I felt like he lead us to believe he could beat the case up until 2 days prior to court. After weeks of calling him with no response he set up a meeting for us to meet him and he didn't show up so he decided to call us and tell us 2 days before the big court date that it was nothing he could do and advised my boyfriend to take the plea deal which was 20 years do 15. Of course we were devasted because the few time we would talk to Mr Matthews he kept saying he could beat the case. In court he seemed lost like he Knew nothing about the case. My boyfriend wasn't Happy with the deal but had no other choice because he told us if he took it to trial he would end up with 40 years. I wouldn't recommend this lawyer to anyone. He's the type to tell you anything to get your money. I felt like we paid him to do something a public defender could have done because he didn't help us at all. WE were not Happy with his representation and my opinion is he's not a good attorney.
