Excellent Attorney, Professional, Passionate and Persistent, THE BEST!!!

Words cannot express the ecstatic and joyful feeling I have today. Attorney Matthews took my son case that was charged with five drug felonies. We reside in a conservative county where the outcome seemed very bleak for my child's life. The charges carried 10-30 years each. Attorney Matthews was able ...to present an eloquent presentation on behalf of my son, that allowed him to receive First Offender status. He will now have a chance in life without a felony conviction.. My family and I would choose him again and again. I highly recommend him to represent you in a criminal case. "I would trust him with my life" is what was expressed by the person that referred him to me and I feel the same way. May GOD bless him abundantly.

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.

Dr.

I was arrested for a Felony charge of Pos/Intent (3lb). I then retained Mr. Matthews as my lawyer, within 2 court dates, Mr Matthews was able to convince the Dea to reIease the case under Pre Trial Intervention. I Will Have to Complete (PTI) Drug Courses for 12 weeks and will walk away with no Felony...'s. Mr Matthewes is a Great Lawyer

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.
