Best lawyer

I been dealing with Careton Mattrews for a long time. I swear this the best attorney in ga. I got a DUI in Morgan county. Mr Mattrews is so smooth he got the DUI thrown out I was vey impressed. I strongly recommend him to anyone whose facing any criminal charges or who has been injured in a car wreck.... This man saved my Cdl from being suspend. He represented me a couple of time. I’ve always been pleased with his work. Dont look passed Him book him. You will get your money worth

Probation Revocation

Mr. Matthews's represented me at my 2nd revocation hearing in Henry County for misdemeanor first time DUI .....well first in 29 years. I had numerous failed drug screens and a solicitor pushing, again to revoke the remaining probation(4 months) Which Mr. Matthews's managed to get reduced down from ...9 months from excessive tolling by the probation office. He did not just council me in court but as well connected me with the appropriate medical professionals that were also approved and acknowledged by the Henry Co court system. I will always highly recommend him and lord forbid if ever needing legal council again will not hesitate to call Mr. Matthews's . Yall this man saved my business, family, and life. Would have given him 6 or 100 stars if I could.

CHARGES WAS DISMISSED for both DUI & SPEEDING ... I WILL ALWAYS HAVE HIM AS MY LAWYER AND WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND MR MATTHEW TO EVERYONE !!!

Dismissed Before Trial

Battery case against me that the CC D.A. filed additional charges (including simple battery, cruelty to children). CCPD purposefully omitted several facts in their report, including time stamped pictures during the incident. We had been on a 2 hour Calendar, but Mr. Matthews called to inform me tha...t the case was dismissed. By the way, This is actually the 2nd case (DUI 2014) that he got dismissed for me. Professional, knowledgeable and in my phone’s favorites (haha)

AMAZING ATTONEY !!

I was convicted of a dui last year . I went through hell this last year dealing with it. My po violated me for basically not doing community service fast enough. This resulted in me having jail time over my head and I was supposed do turn my self in but I fell ill and didn’t do so. I was terrified, s...o I contacted me Matthews and told him everything that was going on, I already had heard such good things about him: I ended up hiring him for his services and he went to court and handle things so fast and gracefully. He not only got me out of jail time, he also made sure of everything I was signing. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to fight and BEAT a case!!!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
