Careton Ray 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.
