Best choice for an open, honest Attorney
Our family found ourselves in a position no one wants to be in 6 years ago. We needed an Attorney and a good one, but we were 3 states away and had no idea where to start. Where else, the Internet. We are so eternally grateful we found Matt’s website. We always felt God lead us to him. We had our fir...

His efforts made my case easy, painless and fast!
When I first consulted with Matt, he promised results for my accident claim that I would be happy with. He carefully prepared my case and got me a generous payment much quicker than I expected. To say the least, I was very happy with Matt's efforts. Matt took charge and got things done. The proce...

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!
Mr. Thompson came highly recommended to me when my son received two tickets. He was always accessible and provided excellent and professional legal service. He also explained the whole legal process in layman's terms, which was very important to me. One of the tickets would have resulted in a sec...

The best decision during the worst of times
Having worked in the legal field for over 15 years myself, I understand the importance of a good attorney. However, having to find a criminal lawyer to represent your child is an entirely different understanding of the law and can be very emotionally draining. Hiring Matthew Thompson to represent...

Great at taking your money!!!
I hired Mr. Thompson to aggressively defend me for a crime I did not commit. All he did was continue the case month after month. He did manage to squeeze another $600 out of me for his retired detective buddy that provided me with information I already knew. He did file one motion, but only after I m...
I hope that anyone who reads this can see the bias nature in which this was written. Unfortunately, as lawyers we represent a wide array of people and we have to make our best judgment of those people when we first meet them. It does not always work out the way we hope. We also put ourselves at the mercy of the internet and allow anyone to write a review. The nature of our practice prohibits us from giving the world our side of the story and I hold the sanctity of attorney/client privilege with the utmost regard. I will not stoop to the level of this person to address what he or she has stated about me. I would invite you to do a bit more fact checking and please contact anyone whom you trust in the community to give a fair and accurate review if you are considering hiring my firm. I thank all of my current clients and former clients for their support and allowing me to represent you in cases that are important to you.
"I absolutely endorse this lawyer. Matt is one of the finest lawyer's I have had the pleasure of meeting. He is an excellent attorney who possesses the perfect balance of determination, professionalism, and intelligence to properly and zealously advocate for his clients. I am honored to call him a friend and colleague."
"One of the few lawyers I'll consider referring a case to. His combination of experience, intelligence and creative approach to the practice of law are characteristics that serve his clients well. Dedicated to his clients and always focused on the best result possible, Matt is well respected in the legal community and one to seek out in times of need."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Matt since his days as a prosecutor. He is creative, tenacious, and knows the law. Now in private practice, I have referred injury cases to him and he has obtained unexpectedly great results. Thank you, Matt!"
"I first met Matt when he was an Assistant State Attorney and I was a criminal defense attorney working against him on cases. I always found Matt to be prepared, reasonable, and overall a very good attorney. Since leaving the State Attorney's Office Matt has developed a strong reputation in both the criminal defense and the personal injury fields. I respect Matt and endorse him."
"I would highly recommend Mr. Thompson. I often refer clients to him. I value his experience with the State Attorney's Office in defending clients."
"Matt works tirelessly to protect the rights of his clients. He has the knowledge and practical experience to obtain the best outcome possible. I endorse this attorney."
"What can you say about Matt Thompson other than "wow, this guy is phenomenal!"? I've known Matt for years as we went to school together. Matt is one of those guys that has the "it" factor and he's able to use that to his client's advantage in the courtroom. He's one of those guys that everyone envied and wished we could have his fluidity and natural ability to litigate and get results. As fate would have it, he's become one of the best attorneys I know and he reinforces that opinion on a daily basis. The highest compliment one attorney can give another is that we would refer a family member to them. Not only would I do that in a heartbeat, I would elect to use him over other attorneys perhaps more familiar with the jurisdiction. No question in my mind that Matt Thompson is the go to guy on the east coast for any criminal, personal injury, or general civil matter. You won't regret hiring him, I guarantee it."
