Battery charge dismissed

Matt is absolutely wonderful. He did everything he said he was going to do for us. When another lawyer failed to do what he was paid to do, Matt stepped in and got my Husband's battery charge dismissed. He is very professional and stayed in constant contact with us. Very appreciative of him and all o...f his hard work. Thank you!

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.

Speeding Ticket

Matt was very clear about what needed to be done, and handled everything for us very professionally. Our case was wrapped up in a matter of a few days, thanks to responsiveness on his part in dealing with the prosecutor's office.

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.

Trustworthy and kind! Highly recommended!

I received a traffic citation in April 2018 and decided to seek out an attorney because I wasn’t sure how serious the charges were as it was only my 2nd ticket I’ve ever received. I did an online search and reached out to an attorney who highly recommended Matt Andrews. Mr. Andrews contacted me th...at same day and gave me a free consultation over the phone. It felt like I was talking to someone I had known forever. I explained to him my situation and he was very knowledgeable and understanding. He actually gave me all the information I needed to resolve the issue myself, not wanting to charge me for something that was a simple fix. I was still a bit apprehensive, but he reassured me that I had nothing to worry about and to prove it he took on my case free of charge! He handled everything and followed up with me as the court date neared just to check on me and keep me in the loop. He went to the courthouse with me and walked me thru the process and answered any questions I had. The process was a lot less intimidating with him there to support me. I could tell by his rapport with everyone in the office that I was in good hands. Everyone he spoke to lit up and spoke very highly of him. Mr. Andrews is a very genuine person and he went above and beyond to help me when he didn’t even know me. I definitely recommend him and he will be my first call in the future should I need his services again. Thank you Mr. Andrews!

"I endorse this lawyer. My perspective to observe Matthew Andrews has always been as adversaries representing the opposing sides of a case. 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."
