Matthew J. Olszewski's Lawyer Endorsements
"Matt truly is a titan in the world of DUI defense. He is the lawyer other lawyers look to when they need guidance or advice."
"Matt is one of the few attorneys that is able to consistently win DUI cases regardless of how high over the limit the breath score is. He is an excellent attorney, and he produces impressive results."
"I highly endorse Mr. Olszewski. There are not a lot (maybe none) of DUI attorneys in Orlando that can say that they literally wrote the book on DUI. Matt is a great lawyer with a wealth of knowledge. As a former prosecutor I can say that he uses his knowledge and personality to effectively negotiate and advocate for his clients. I highly endorse him for your DUI defense. You'd be lucky to have him in your corner."
"As a former hired gun for the State of Florida in DUI prosecution, Matt is uniquely qualified to represent people in their charges for DUI. Matt is a constant go to for tips and advice on changes in the law and unique situations."
"I endorse this lawyer, you cannot ask for a more knowledgeable and experienced DUI attorney than Matt - he still gives training to the police from time to time, so who better to know when the cop has made a mistake that he can jump on at a hearing or trial."
"Matt really knows his stuff especially when it comes to DUI. He has the respect of the State Attorneys Office from his work as the head DUI prosecutor during his time as an Assistant State Attorney."
"Mr. Olszewski is one of the finest DUI trial lawyers in Central Florida. He is a very well respected, highly experience attorney."

It is without hesitation I recommend Attorney Olszewski to anyone facing DUI charges."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Matt since he started practicing at the Office of the State Attorney a number of years ago. After leaving the Office of the State Attorney Matt continued his work for the State of Florida by traveling around the state both training prosecutors how to proerly prosecute DUI's and training law enforcement in how to properly investigate DUI's. Suffice to say this has provided him a wealth of experience and perspective in his role as a criminal defense attorney. Matt's reputation as a top tier DUI defense attorney has been well establisehed over the last several years. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone charged with such an offense."
"I endorse this lawyer."
