Weak for an easy case to win, would never recommend

Here’s a cleaner, more professional version that still clearly expresses your frustration and experience without sounding overly emotional or repetitive: I honestly do not understand how he has so many positive reviews based on my experience. I was originally pulled over for speeding in a schoo...l zone. As someone new to the area, I genuinely did not realize I was in a school zone at the time. That part was absolutely my fault, and I take responsibility for it. However, what should have been a traffic citation escalated into a full DUI arrest based solely on the officer claiming he did not like the smell coming from my vehicle. I later tested 0.0 on the breathalyzer, no marijuana was found in my vehicle, and I explained that I legally held a medical marijuana card for legitimate medical conditions. Despite that, I was handcuffed for hours, subjected to extensive testing, and held until around 2:00 a.m. The entire situation felt excessive and humiliating. Ironically, weeks later, a new law was passed stating that smell alone is not enough for an arrest. What disappointed me most was my experience with Matthew. Instead of aggressively fighting what I believed was a weak case, I felt pressured into accepting a plea deal. I repeatedly expressed concern about the impact a DUI could have on my professional career, and I felt that fear was used against me to push me toward signing the agreement rather than taking the case to trial. As a result, I am now on probation, attending classes, and spending thousands of additional dollars despite there being no evidence of impairment beyond the officer’s subjective opinion. The entire experience has felt more like a money-driven system than justice. Looking back, I regret hiring him and genuinely feel I could have advocated for myself more effectively.

Great Lawyer

I went to Matt after the first attorney I hired had worked my case for months. The end result was an offer from the state that would cause me to lose my license forever. I talked with Matt and after he reviewed the case he thought there were still arguments to pursue. I took a chance, turned down th...e offer and hired Matt. He filed many motions and kept at it. In the end, the judge dismissed all charges. Matt knows the DUI laws and I trust he will do everything he can for every client. He was responsive and realistic throughout. He never promised miracles. He knows the law and that's what you need in a lawyer.

Outstanding Attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Olszewski for a first-time DUI case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, Matt was incredibly professional, transparent, and astute about the entire process. He made sure I understood each step and what to expect durin...g the process, which was incredibly reassuring during such a stressful time. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to achieve a very reasonable outcome. I highly recommend Matt Olszewski to anyone in need of a DUI defense attorney. His dedication and commitment to his clients are truly commendable.

Best around

Attorney Olszewski at the FL DUI Group represented me in a recent case. He was recommended by a pal in law enforcement who told me straight up who could handle my legal issues. Attorney Olszewski tore apart the states case like a pro and I got a very favorable outcome that was better than I imagined ...and others attorneys told me. I never want to hire an attorney again but if I do it is him.
