The best lawyer I’ve ever hired!

I was charged with rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault. It was a dna hit from being swabbed when I went to prison. I was referred to hire Mr. Matthews. After hiring Mr. Mathews he gave me the trust and confidence I needed to believe that my case would be dismissed, I mean with charges like tha...t I was nervous feeling like I would never leave prison but when it was time to go to court, after my first 2 probable cause court dates had been reset because the officers were not showing up ,all I wanted was to go in front of the judge for a bond and I was growing weary for wanting to go home, but Mr. Mathews had confidence that I would receive a better outcome, And ask me to just trust him. He wanted the officer to show up so that he could show out. He proved to the judge and the whole courtroom that the evidence against me was weak and there was no probable cause. His argument was strong, intelligent, and well executed, so well that the judge seen it his way and dismissed the charges before there could ever be a case. I recommend Mr. Matthews not only because he’s good at what he do but he cares, he has great integrity and he makes u believe everything will be okay if he says it. He’s a good and God loving man. And I’m thankful for him allowing God to use him. So if you need a real good one hire Mr. Matthews

Excellent Service

I recently had a Meth and promethazine trafficking case and Mr. Matthews was able to display the weakness in the state's evidence against me. Not only did Mr. Matthews convince the DA and the judge to reduce the trafficking to a lesser charge, but I was also able to walk away with no felony on my rec...ord, no prison time and no convictions. The state wanted 10 years prison time served but again, I was able to walk away under probation and no prison time. In addition, Mr. Matthews also had a bench warrant uplifted for me as well. I give all thanks to God because he deserves the victory, but the father worked through Mr. Careton Matthews to get me out of this situation. Highly recommended, my regards, Mr. Key.

Underage D.U.I

Hello, I was charged with a D.U.I and minor under the influence back in September of 2016, i was 20 years old. I hired attorney Matthews to represent me in court. He was able to get my D.U.I reduced to a reckless driving charge , due to a sleeping disorder I have , which prevented my license from get...ting suspended. I have to take 40 hours of community service , pay a fee , and take a few classes before my probation will dropped. Attorney Matthews was the best thing that happened to me this entire situation . Truly a blessing.

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.
