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.

Exceptional Attorney

My sister had a case in snellville and called me last min in a panic. I went to Mr. Matthews office and with 20 mins he was talking to my sister and I about how we could get the situation resolved. Today we went to court to deal with the matter and I’m thankful to say because we had such a wonderful ...lawyer we were able to walk back out of the court room verse in being a situation where she would have been put in hand cuffs. Thank you again Mr. Matthews you have all future business of mine and any of my family members.

The best lawyer I’ve ever hired!

I was charged with rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault. It was a dna hit from being swabbed when I went to prison. I was referred to hire Mr. Matthews. After hiring Mr. Mathews he gave me the trust and confidence I needed to believe that my case would be dismissed, I mean with charges like tha...t I was nervous feeling like I would never leave prison but when it was time to go to court, after my first 2 probable cause court dates had been reset because the officers were not showing up ,all I wanted was to go in front of the judge for a bond and I was growing weary for wanting to go home, but Mr. Mathews had confidence that I would receive a better outcome, And ask me to just trust him. He wanted the officer to show up so that he could show out. He proved to the judge and the whole courtroom that the evidence against me was weak and there was no probable cause. His argument was strong, intelligent, and well executed, so well that the judge seen it his way and dismissed the charges before there could ever be a case. I recommend Mr. Matthews not only because he’s good at what he do but he cares, he has great integrity and he makes u believe everything will be okay if he says it. He’s a good and God loving man. And I’m thankful for him allowing God to use him. So if you need a real good one hire Mr. Matthews
