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.

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.

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.

Outstanding Service

Attorney Matthew Olszewski is a very dedicated and professional attorney. Upon my initial consult he was there to assist me in any way to make it possible to provide representation for the case of my daughter. This was a first for me, I was inexperienced, nervous and uncertain of what to do and what... was about to transpire in regards to my daughters case. He was patient and took the time during the free consult to educate me and assure me it would be handled professionally and efficiently. He even assisted me with a financial plan that was feasible for my daughter to avoid any possible barriers to receiving quality representation. His assistant Tanya is very attentive and professional as well. She always gets back to you, same day! My questions were always addressed and I always felt prepared and informed. Attorney Olzsewski also was accessible by phone or email at any time and responded promptly to any concerns I had during the entire process. His entire team of attorneys and office staff treat each case as an individual and value you like family. Thanks to this outstanding team my daughter’s case was dismissed and lessened to reckless driving with no impact on her record. Being a young adult with her whole life ahead of her, this outcome is priceless. There are no words that can fully express my gratitude to this team for caring and fighting so hard to ensure such a just outcome. Thank you always!
