Careton Ray Matthews

Attorney Matthews is awesome, when my son was going through a "wild" phase he got into situations in which Attorney Matthews had to represent him. He worked with us on the payments and we have used him for everything every since, even car accidents. This man cares about his community and if I ever hi...t the lottery, he's going on full retainer, (I told him this and he laughed). He is always a call away, and his clients have his cell phone number. This guy is a blessing.

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.
