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.

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.

When you are faced with a challenging case and your life is in the balance, you want someone that teaches the cops how to do their jobs. This is the guy for you. He will tell you how it is- whether your case has merit or not. He’s not gonna BS you. But he will fight for you, and he will leave the sta...te wondering what just happened.

Over $4k and I have had to deal with a mess he's left behind, 2yrs suspended license. All he does is plea no contest, does not put up a legitimate argument. Asks you to just take whatever the state gives you, I had him fight back and did not accept then charges were dismissed but improperly. You'll n...eed to do his job for him and I hope you all save your $.
