Matt was a great lawyer, he represented both my girlfriend and I. He got our charges down to where we can have our expunged after the completion of our program.

Goes above and beyond to keep you at ease

I had Matt as a lawyer to help seal something a past lawyer screwed me and he couldn”t have been more helpful. Not only did he help with the case, he helped me along the way with a new job opportunities that needed paperwork and statements about what happened. He keeps you at ease when you’re the mos...t stressed, wouldn’t use any other defense but him.

Excellent Service for My Traffic Cases in Florida

I retained Mr. Shafran to assist me with my complex traffic cases back in March of 2017. I am no longer a Florida resident, but wanted to clear my name and record. Mr. Shafran and his Assistant worked closely with me every step of the way. The advice that I received and the quick turn around with com...munication made this issue seem less complicated. I never had one doubt that Mr. Shafran did not have my best interest in mind. He went before the judges, blended my cases, asked for extensions, so that I could have all of my documents ready for the judge. I did not have to leave my current state at all! He fully represented me well. I truly appreciate everything, and now I can get my life back on track and live a full productive life as a law abiding citizen. I am so thankful and would recommend this Law Firm to anyone. Oh, did I mention that the costs were fair and reasonable?. Even though Mr. Shafran worked my case for nearly 10 months, he never charged me any extra fees. The initial contract was the stated cost. Thank you Mr. Shafran... Thank you!

DUI Nightmare

Matthew was accessible for counsel throughout the entire process, also got on the phone with my loved ones and reassured them that he could assist me in getting everything expunged. He certainly delivered on this promise and I am now in a much better position than I would've been otherwise.

Matthew's your man!

I needed a lawyer, but not just any old lawyer, for my case. Matt was highly recommended and he was the man that I decided to go with to represent me. I had a felony containing Grand Theft and Larceny and he made it so that there were no convictions and I was put on PTI for a term of five years with ...the ability to expunge my case once my requirements including restitution was taken care of. I would call Matt whenever I had a question abut anything and he's always called/ texted me back on time with answers of satisfaction. I once texted him at around 9 pm and he, no lie, made himself available to me immediately. He dedicates himself to you and that's what separates him from the rest, he's absolutely amazing! I have told my friends and family about him, should they ever need an attorney.
