Highly recommend

When I first met Mr. Andrews it was pertaining to a moving violation citation I received. Throughout the consultation he explained what he could do to reduce the citation to a lesser expense. Once I hired him, he gave me very clear instructions on steps I needed to take to show the prosecutor that I ...took the citation seriously. By completing these actions he would be able to reduce the citation to just having to pay the fine and not getting any points on my license. Even though I took longer than I should have to complete these steps, Mr. Andrews continued the case two different times to allow me extra time to get it done. During this time, I moved to a city 250 miles away. Mr. Andrews worked with the prosecutor to see if anything could be done to help prevent me from having to make the long drive to appear in court. I was very pleased when Mr. Andrews contacted me to inform me that the citation had been reduced to a warning. What really impressed me is that even though he had to do some extra work to continue the case because I couldn't complete everything in the timeframe allowed. He stood by his original quote. He is very thorough, communicates clearly, and does what he says he will. I would recommend Mr. Andrews for any kind of traffic case. He will most definitely get the job done to your advantage.

DUI CASE

Mr. Andrews was the best lawyer I have ever hired. I am a 13 year Active Duty Military soldier who was at risk of losing everything three years ago. Mr. Andrews was always available to answer any questions about my case. He kept me up to date with any new information pertaining to my case details and... regularly checked in while awaiting court. He is not just an outstanding lawyer but he also cares about his clients and will fight for the best outcome. I had previously hired a different lawyer that let my case sit for over two years without any progress. I talked with Mr. Andrews and he assured me that he would fight week after week to not only have my case heard but for the best possible outcome. I did receive the best possible outcome. I blew a BAC of .12 and was looking at spending time in jail, losing my career, financial hardship, and more. I didn’t know what to do next and didn’t know what my options were for my case. Mr. Andrews took the time to explain my options and what the worst and best case scenarios were moving forward. He did not “sugar coat” or blow me off or ignore any of my 1000 questions. He told me straight forward every time and what he would do to help me get the best outcome for my case. I can say after three years of waiting he got my DUI downgraded to Reckless Driving. I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done and I would recommend him every time to anyone who is facing criminal charges. I would strongly advise giving Mr. Andrews a call before going to anyone else.

Traffic Ticket Defense

Matthew Andrews did a great job handling our case when my husband got a ticket for speeding outside of Wrens, GA. We don’t live in GA and were traveling thru to visit family for the 4th of July when we got pulled over for speeding. I was referred to Matthew by another attorney and decided to hire him... after talking with several different attorneys in the Augusta area. Matthew was realistic about what he could do and asked about the outcome we were looking for. He was always quick to respond to my emails throughout the process and charged a fair and reasonable price for his services. My husband and I were very happy with the resulting resolution of the case and would recommend Mr. Andrews to anyone who is looking for representation in a traffic related incident.

Review

Matt is professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and diligent. We were able to settle the lawsuit quickly without having to go to trial and I received the money owed to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend him.

Without exception, Matt is always knowledgeable, prepared, persuasive in presenting a case. He thoroughly understands both the technicalities of the law and the human side that make up a case. His diligent preparation and focus on the details that matter to either judge or jury are evident in his successful results. I have no hesitation in referring a client to Matt. He will render professional and effective representation to any client wrongfully facing charges."
