William A. Matos

I highly recommend to stay away from William Matos. I hired this guy to represent me for my daughter’s custody and child support. This guy will be nice and sweet to take your money at first but after that, he will throw you in the pile of unhappy and unpleased customers he has. It’s a fact, I’m not s...aying this out of anger - the person of recommended him to me also had a huge delay on their case due to their incompetence, if she had not called, she wouldn’t even know that her case was just sitting somewhere on the pile and not submitted for a hearing yet. As my case was pending, I kept sending text messages to William asking for suggestions or status on my case - yet he will take long to respond, no response, or providing vague responses. No professional communication whatsoever. The day my second payment was due, one of his employees call me to collect the money, so I provided her with my CC(shouldn’t have) and asked his assistant to respond to my messages but never got back to me. I never felt this guy represented me at all. Apart from filing papers to court( I could’ve done this myself), he did nothing else. So, today he got fired and told me “thank goodness, you are your worst enemy” what kind of professional lawyer says this to an unhappy client. Requested a refund but he would not provide me the amount that he will refund. I guess I can keep you all updated to see if he was, AT LEAST, fair with his refund. Remember stay away and look at the negative reviews on here! They are mostly related to his poor communication skill! I just think he does not have the bandwidth to handle all the cases he has.

Atty Matos is an unreliable ineffective communicator ever defense counsel with my nephew criminal case in Clayton County Judicial System. My nephew has been incarcerated for at total of 32 months to the date before that and the pandemic it was nine months and Matos did nothing to counsel or talk to m...y nephew until he was locked up for 20 months And-by this time the pandemic was in full blown so no court dockets for trial. Matos has been trying to get my nephew to make a plea instead of trying the case. That is how all these public defense lawyers are. They don’t know how to try a case these days and especially for black kids. All the asking their clients to do a plea and no jail time served just want him in jail for 31 months and not count against his time to do in prison for nothing sounds like slavery in the prison plantation again, blacks doing time filling up these prisons for crimes that do not cause time in prison, theft by taking this crime is no prison time however if you black, yes. Matos told me not to contact him again so I informed my nephew and so my nephew tried to communicate with Matos since June2021 and to this date Nov3rd 2021 no communication. This attorney Matos, a public Defender counsel has not fulfilled his obligation to his client my nephew at all bc he has been locked up with a trial date on any docket in Clayton county judicial system. I can see why black kids are so negative about this corrupted judicial system that humans are doing to humans. It’s not the system,it’s people in these positions that are corrupted. Try my nephew case and stop informing him to plea we can’t afford to get him out of jail on bond which is$30,000.00 and we need to pay $3500.00 to a bonding company. We own property however one other relative won’t sign to get him release however Matos should place him on a docket for trial so he can plea guilty for one case
