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.

Thank you for hard work

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.

Absolutely Awful

The reviews for Matt must be paid for as none of them reflect the dire representation I received. What Matt does not understand is that when he is being paid by you, he works for you. But no, he dictates the process and makes you feel like you should be grateful if he ever responds to you. His commun...ication is the worst I have ever experienced with anybody in any form of professional field. The case gets neglected, motions to continue constantly because he has done no work on the case and then overall, the worst result I could have gotten (a public defender would have gotten better). I was represented in court by somebody else, who themselves was clueless, was wearing a pony tail and awfully tired suit - I was extremely embarrassed in court with that representation. I urge you, if you are reading this, PLEASE take your business elsewhere if you want a genuinely good attorney, Matt is not one. And as for the good reviews, they cannot possibly be real.
