Careton Ray Matthews

After doing my research I found out that Mr Matthews is one of Atlanta’s top notch attorneys. From the first time I spoke to him he gave me the confidence I needed in a defense attorney to represent my son. Mr Matthews was able to immediately secure a bond for for him on his first court appearance .... I would highly recommend mr Matthews to anyone facing serious charges and has lost faith in getting the best representation during their battle in the criminal judicial system .

Mr.Matthew has been my lawyer for Criminal and personal injuries over 10 years now. He’s great at what he do and His associates that works in his office are awesome as well they are very professional very communicative they take your matters very personal and handled them in a timely and professional... order with the Matthews is very great I would recommend him to anyone.

I was on probation in Rockdale County for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon when I was falsely charged with 6 counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault and 6 counts of Child Molestation. All serious felonies and looking at life if convicted. Firstly, the charges in Dekalb triggered a Revocation o...f Probation in Rockdale where the Judge could have turned my probation into serving 10 years in prison. I hired Attorney Matthews and he got the revocation of probation Dismissed. Then in Dekalb the prosecutor felt the case was problematic for the state to take to trial but didn't want to dismiss the case. Attorney Matthews was able to get the Child Molestation charges dismissed and the 6 felony charges of Aggravated Sexual Assault dropped to 5 misdemeanors. Attorney Matthews arranged it so that I could take an Alford Plea which basically is saying that I was able to maintain my innocence and say that I did not do any of the allegations but I didn't want to chance taking the case to trial to leave my fate up to 12 jurors. I was facing life in prison and given 5 years misdemeanor probation. No Jail Time. Attorney Matthews is determined and a people's Attorney, I felt connected to him as not just my attorney but someone who was truly concerned about my well being. It is obvious when Mr. Matthews enters the court room that he is well known and respected by everyone which is of absolute importance. I felt that with the 25 years of experience Attorney Matthews possesses, he has good relationships in the courtroom while at the same time, he's not one to be pushed around and that's what you need in an Attorney. His staff is very welcoming and helpful at all turns.

I utilized Mr. Matthews and his firm for an accident that I had. It was my first time utilizing an attorney in this situation and Mr. Matthews and his team brought me great comfort in this process from beginning to end. I will also like to point out that my case from beginning to end was handled in a... prompt fashion. Thank you to everyone who was involved in my case.
