Got case dropped on first court date

Excellent lawyer to get he will no BS you. If he can work on you case he will tell you straight up. He got mine dropped on first court date. I would defiitely hire him again. He works out of Broward county. Call him up if you have any questions, he does answer the calls and calls back if he is not a...ble to answer.

Highly recommend Matt!

We consulted with Matt as we were going through a case with child services. He was extremely helpful to put our minds at ease and let us know he would take care of us. He was always available to speak or text at any hours of the day and responded extremely quickly. I would highly recommend using Matt....

Best lawyer ever

Have used Mr. Karim for child custody, traffic, and criminal infractions. He has always been avaliable, answered all questions in a timely manner, and did his best to represent me with my best interest at heart. I will continue to use his for any legal need I may come across.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Matthew is an excellent lawyer who only becomes better with each passing day. He is constantly researching when not advocating full-force for his clients. He has given hope to those who other lawyers wouldn't even talk to. He has a world's perspective and speaks some French. I can't endorse this attorney highly enough."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
