"Simply The Best", in my Tina Turner voice!!!

I can not thank Careton Matthews and his staff enough for saving my license on several occasion, his office was instrumental in restoring my trust with faith in justice. I hired Mr. Matthews in 2018 for a super speeder traffic ticketed that spiraled into several traffic tickets and a lot of run ins w...ith the law. At that time I was experiencing a lot of financial woes and family issues. Mr. Matthews never judge me or gave up fighting for me in each case, even when I was creating a bigger mess. Not only was Mr. Matthews capable of saving my licenses but he became a voice of reason that helped me persevere and become a productive citizen again during a time that I was confused and broken. Special thank you to Mrs. Page for always remaining common and professional even when the situation got HOTT!! -God's Child

Phenomenal! Absolutely the best!!!

I hired Attorney Matthews to represent my son who was stopped by Johns Creek Police in the afternoon for---get this a brake light not working...the one across the trunk of the car not the tail lights. The cop told my son that he was going to give him a warning then claimed he smelled marijuana. He t...hen proceeded to search my son's car but found NO marijuana. He then searched the trunk and found a gun in a backpack in the trunk. My son being a felon was taken into custody for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Attorney Mathews retrieved the dashcam recording in which the cop clearly stated to his partner that he did not smell any marijuana before telling my son that he did and he ILLEGALLY searched my son's car without cause after pulling him over for a bogus reason (brakelight not working in the day time). Attorney Matthews not only got the case thrown out but my son did not get another felony on his record. The cop was proven in court to be a liar, corrupt and racist. I will never use another attorney only Mr. Matthews. He is and was a Godsend to me and my son. He is the ultimate professional, he is knowledgeable, he is personable and simply phenomenal. He does his research, he will fight hard for you and he is absolutely amazing in the courtroom. If you want the best outcome for your case and an attorney that cares about you, call Attorney Careton R. Matthews because is a winner and you will be too. Facts!!!

AMAZING

My husband and I hired Mr.Matthews regarding a drug case my husband caught in 2017. My husband was charged with multiple felonies and it was hindering him from job opportunities. Mr. MAtthews was referred to us, so we decided to meet with him. Since we have stepped foot in Mr.Matthews office we have ...been nothing but pleased and amaze with the service, loyalty, commitment, and devotion he gave us. We went into his office with the bare minimum info of the case but when we enter that courtroom I was astonished by the statements Mr.Matthews was giving. He did his research! He did his job.! Mr.Matthews did his homework and delivered the result we wanted. All charges was dismissed against my husband and more job opportunities have open. Your are Amazing Matthews, your work speak for itself. We came in the office with a result we wanted and you delivered !! Thank you.

Well Pleased Client

Attorney Matthews is a true breast in the courthroom. He forced the judge to focus the law as well as the facts. I thought that the Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge was going to issue an arrest warrant for my arrest. Mr. Matthews questioned the opposing party. He gave his arguments. The jud...ge said that no probable.
