GOD SENT

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

Matthew Shafran is a Godsend!

I live in NY and had 12 hours to answer a notice of hearing taking place in Florida. My search for a Florida attorney revealed Matt's firm. Matt responded immediately to my call and agreed to represent me. He thoroughly reviewed my case to prepare for the initial hearing. Prior to the final hear...ing Matt prepared two motions for dismissal, both of which were granted. He addressed all of my concerns in a timely manner. His use of case law and his comprehension of my case not only gave me the confidence I needed but also lead to the dismissal of my cases. His compassion helped me and my family get through this very stressful time. Matt is a dedicated, hard working, experienced and honest attorney. My experience with Matt went far beyond what I could ever have hoped for in someone representing me. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.

Matt is Great!!!

Unfortunately I had got in a bit of trouble for driving with marijuana in Martin County. I didn’t have a huge amount but enough. I wasn’t arrested but had to go to court. Never have I been in trouble before for anything so I was a bit nervous and hired Matt to represent me due to his knowledge on Mar...tin County policy’s. Matt was great!!!! If ever i had a question or concern I could call or text him and he’d respond to me as soon as he possibly could. Even reaching out to his office i had no problem getting ahold of anyone. I got sentence with the best ending result. One year probation that could be terminated early upon completion of the following, all i had to do was pay court fees which ended up to be a couple dollars, a 4 hr dug ED course. I’m certain I’ll be done immediately and all thanks to Matt for doing such a great job on my case.

DUI Charge Successfully Removed!

I am very satisfied with the assistance of Attorney Matthew Shafran. He worked on my case and was able to clear my DUI charge I had pending against me. My case was not easy at all since the state had all the proven facts in order to charge me with a criminal offense, however after finding Matthew, he... was able to handle the whole process very diligently and reduce my charge to a reckless driving offense. I highly recommend his services to any of my family, friends and colleagues that are facing any DUI offense or any other criminal offense here in the State of Florida. He will work for you and smooth out the whole process. If you need assistance and need a trustworthy attorney, contact Matthew Shafran with Meltzer & Bell and I guarantee he will offer you the best solutions to help you in the process. Thank You Matthew!
