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!

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!!

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.

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.
