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.

I would have to say that my case specifically was a difficult one. But Matt delivered on all fronts. From his professionalism down to his knowledge. When my case went to trail, I was obviously anxious, but when I heard the way Matt and his co-counsel Jacob Bonnell were representing me, I automaticall...y knew I was in good hands. Would highly recommend! For the services I received, I think 5 stars is still to low of score. Thank you Matt.

Would Highly Recommend

Matt did a fantastic job on my case. The costs were exactly what were forecast from the first time I spoke with him, and the outcome in court was very fair. Matt was responsive to my emails and phone calls throughout the course of months, and he always brought honest clarity to the situation and pros...pects. I would recommend him to anyone in need of competent, professional, (and of course) legal help.

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!

DUI w/ Property Damage - Case Dropped

I got arrested and charged for a DUI w/ property damage and immediately after posting bail I called about 10 different lawyers in the Orlando area, and one of those lawyers was kind enough to advise me on who they considered the best in DUI cases. They mentioned themselves, and 2 others, 1 of those b...eing Matt. After speaking with all 3, reviewing their credentials, and considering the cost, I decided that Mr. Olszewski was the best option. I was not disappointed. I'm not sure what the timeline for a case of this nature typically looks like, but in my particular case, it took just 14 months of Matt fighting my case for the State to enter a Noelle Prosequi. Honestly, I thought a win in my case would be to plea to a lesser charge than the DUI and deal with probation and fines for a year or so. My case was dropped entirely. I didn't consider that to be a legitimate possibility, and I can't really put into words the feeling of gratitude and relief that I have. Thank you Matt for fighting and winning my case, you brought me and my family joy and relief and for the rest of my life I will be thankful for that, may God bless you and yours.
