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

After doing my research I found out that Mr Matthews is one of Atlanta’s top notch attorneys. From the first time I spoke to him he gave me the confidence I needed in a defense attorney to represent my son. Mr Matthews was able to immediately secure a bond for for him on his first court appearance .... I would highly recommend mr Matthews to anyone facing serious charges and has lost faith in getting the best representation during their battle in the criminal judicial system .

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.

"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

Excellent service, very satisfied!

I am very satisfied with my services with Attorney Careton Matthews. He ensured he would get my traffic citation dismissed and that is exactly what he did! He was extremely thorough and took the time to cater to my legal needs. This was my very first time I received a citation and I cannot lie, I was... nervous about the outcome! But Mr. Matthews easily got my case dismissed with no problem. I will absolutley recommend him to friends and family.
