Debba Murphy

Dear Attorney, Careton Mattews and your entire law firm, A special thank you for all your help over the years. I know it's your job, but it's my life- and I feel you went above and beyond and I just want to express my appreciation. I am writing this letter to you to express my most sincere thanks fo...r the most professional representation. And all your hard work throughout my case. When I was first convicted, we weren’t sure where to turn. My mother sat in a courtroom and was astonished with the aspiration you had for your client, she immediately found you and retained your firm to prove my innocence. Day one she had faith that you could do just that. Throughout the entire time you represented me, everyone at your law firm was kind, patient, and supportive. Especially attorney Teresa Mahfood, our family cannot thank you enough for the amazing ending. You gave me hope not to give up I’m confident your hard work and determination has made my life a better man in society. Today I am a Free man! With gratitude, Kenneth Wray & Family

The Best in the Business!!

I was involved in a very bad car accident, which left my car beig totaled and me having surgery. I was represented by Atty Matthews Law Offices. They were absolutely phenomenal! Mrs. Austin was a delight, and very professional and patient. Attys Careton Jr, and Atty Jessica, were "Go Getters". I was... so nervous and everyone was so understanding and worked diligently to get my case handled. I was very pleased with the way my case was handled. They kept me informed and treated me like Family! I would highly recommend them to Others. Keep up the great work.

Best Lawyer in Atlanta

My dad hired Mr.Matthews for me while I was incarcerated. He got me out and also got my case dropped within only 45 days of my arrest. He was very professional and the case went exactly as I hoped it would. I would definitely return to him if needed and would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawy...er that cares and that fights for your freedom.

Client

Attorney Matthews agreed to assist me with a legal matter after my other counsel left me without notice or explanation. He picked up the case and exercised great professionalism, wisdom, lawyering techniques, and astute insights into all parties invloved to get the desired outcome. He was accessible,... approachable, willing to allow me to have input into my case and gave excellent legal counsel. He was my partner in the case rather than just expecting me to a bystander. I appreciated this approach and gave me a sense of ownership too in fighting for my justice. Lastly, he is well respected by the courts and his peers which makes a huge difference. It took a while for Mother Justice to prevail, but in the end, she did. He was there every step of the way until we got the desired and just outcome. Highly recommend him if we want fair, just and sage representation that cares about you, your well being and the results.
