Not Guilty on ALL charges

Mr. Matthews represented me on a case I was just acquitted of TODAY. I was charged with Armed Robbery, 2 Counts of Aggravated Assault. 2 counts of Possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. We took it to trail and beat ALL CHARGES. I would recommend Mr. Matthews to anybody. He took his ti...me, discussed my case with me thoroughly and came up with an impeccable defense. Mr. Matthews is one of, if not the BEST attornies I have ever witnessed. I couldn't have chose a better man to defend me!

Great experience: I got a better outcome than expected for a price I could afford

Careton Matthews was more than helpful on my theft by shoplifting case than I could have ever asked. Mr Matthews was able to have my expedite warrant remove and my case dismissed without me ever having to step into a court room. He was very professional and considerate when it came to my concerns. I... would definitely recommend him as a refferal as well as hire him again if needed. TWO THUMBS UP!

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.

Felony case

I was charged with false statement , forgery 1st degree and identity fraud. Also a warrent was put out for my arrest they also suspended my license. I came into the office of Careton Mathews he told me,He could get the whole case drop . He did exact what he promised, i turned my self in he showed up... for court he made sure i was able to bond out on all charges. He got my license reinstated he got all charges dropped. I would refer him to anyone. He stands by his words and make sure it gets done!!

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.
