Matthew W Shafran

With my case, I was on the verge of losing my job because of my criminal history, and convinced my prosecutor to have probation verify through paystubs. I thought they were going to say no at first, but was surprised when he called me and told him they will let me do that. Very understanding, got a s...econd chance.

I was recommended to Matthew by a friend who knew him personally and spoke very highly of him. Matthew understood what I was going through and was able to insure me, from the start, that I was in good hands. Never being in this position before I was very uncertain on all the possible outcomes. The en...tire ordeal lasted 4 days and I could not have been happier with my outcome. Matthew kept me up-to-date every day and even sent me a text to just check in. I will recommend and use Matthew again if need be.

As a mother we are automatically programed to protect and nurture our children. A mother’s greatest fear is for her child to be falsely incriminated. This forces her to feel helpless because she is not able to protect her baby. My son was facing a life sentence, which I had no power to overturn. I fe...lt like the walls were closing in leaving me in a dark place. I knew I had to seek defense Immediately to possibly free my son from a sexual battery charge. I frantically started my search and God lead me to Meltzer and Bell P.A where I then had a consultation with Steve Bell and Matthew Shafran. Both attorneys started to listen to my son’s story and I felt that Matthew Shafran and I connected instantly. Matthew Shafran eyes gave me comfort and hope therefore I knew this would be the attorney that would defend my son as his own. Matt believed my son was innocent and that meant the world to me therefore I knew he would fight until my son was proven not guilty. Matt knew that this would be a challenging case, and he was very informative on the process of the case because he wanted me and my son to have a peace mind. The State Attorney’s can be rather challenging but that didn’t stop Mr. Shafran. He was able to get a sexual battery charge dropped to an aggravated battery charge in less than three months. Matthew Shafrans professionalism and dedication to his clients are very visible. Mr Shafran kept his word and he fought for my son and I am forever grateful to him and his firm. My son has been freed from a life sentence and will never have to register as a sex offender while allowing my son an opportunity to take his own kids to school one day. Thank you once again Matthew Shafran for a defense that allowed my son to finish the race towards a bright future. Sincerely; Kerry P.

When I was arrested for for a DUI and felony drug charges I was terrified. I knew that there were a lot of lawyers out there but I wasn't sure who to choose. A good friend of mine recommended Matthew Shafran with Meltzer & Bell, PA. From the moment I called him sobbing until the cased was closed, he ...was very attentive and understanding. Any questions I had during the process were answered immediately. He was able to break down exactly what my next steps were and what his plan was to help me achieve the best outcome in my case. At one point in my case there was a warrant issued for my arrest. Matt immediately made a few phone calls and not even 24 hours later the warrant was recalled and the Felony and DUI were dropped. My case was closed within 2 months of my arrest and I was able to start rebuilding my life. Without Matthew Shafran I do not know what I would have done.

Mr.Shafran and his team at his Firm where amazing. They worked diligently and where very professional working with me and my cases. My case was a process but Mr. Shafran kept In contact and actually worked with me in the steps that need to be taken to get my Driver license reinstated, and getting thr...u my court cost. To make sure I can pass this horrible bum in the road and be with my family stress free and driving again. I want to Commend an amazing work that was done and recommend him and his team to anyone that is in any situation. M.ALLEN
