Exceptional Attorney

My sister had a case in snellville and called me last min in a panic. I went to Mr. Matthews office and with 20 mins he was talking to my sister and I about how we could get the situation resolved. Today we went to court to deal with the matter and I’m thankful to say because we had such a wonderful ...lawyer we were able to walk back out of the court room verse in being a situation where she would have been put in hand cuffs. Thank you again Mr. Matthews you have all future business of mine and any of my family members.

Very Happy Client

Mr. Matthews is a outstanding lawyer. I hired Mr.Matthews for my criminal case as well as my car accident case. With the criminal case we had to show up for court several times, each court date Mr.Matthews was there on time and ready to fight my case. Mr.Matthew was able to get my criminal case for s...imple battery completely dismissed and off my record(round of applause). With my car accident case Mr.Matthew was always there to answer any questions and guided me the whole way through with the case. Mr. Matthews was able to settle my case with the amount of money that we was going for. I would recommend Mr. Matthews to anyone. He is very professional, always on time and there ready to fight for his client.

AMAZING MAN

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.

BEST IN THE BUSINESS

ATTORNEY MATTHEWS WAS REFERED TO ME B A GOOD FRIEND WHO HE WAS ABLE TO GET HER CASE TROWN OUT. I HIRED HIM BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS FACED WITH A FELONY WHICH HOLDS UP O 10YRS. MR. MATTHEWS WAS ABLE TO HER A BOND WHICH SHE WAS DENIED 2X'S AND PLACED IN A PRE-TRAIL INTERVENTION PROGRAM. KEEP IN MIND HE ...WAS HE 3RD ATTORNEY THAT I HIRED FOR THE JOB. HE WAS ABLE TO PUT ME ON A PMT PLAN FOR HIS FEE WHICH WAS MUCH CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER 2 ATTORNEY. HE IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. HE IS CONFIDENT, AGGRESSIVE AND VERY KNOWLEDGABLE. ATTORNEY MATTHEWS ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALLS OR GOT BACK TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNOR. HE IS THE NEXT JOHNNY COCHRAN. I WAS DEFINETLY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME AND WILL REFER HIM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR JUSTICE. HE IS A BULLDOG IN THE COURT ROOM AND THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS

I am very pleased with the outcome of both my cases with Attorney Matthews. He and his office staff are very professional and I was informed on my cases in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him as a attorney that will fight for you.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
