Matthew W Shafran

I contacted Matthew and his firm for a mistake I know was not intentional but happened. Matt was upfront, honest and straight forward which I appreciated. From the first time contacting his office to the day my case was dismissed, I felt supported and was provided good legal advice. I appreciated his... team; from the first phone call, I felt safe. When I was trying to make payment I was overwhelmed and even the lady I talked to said we are here for you.. it’s those small things that can really change your life that matter. most. Thank you!

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. Couldn’t have ask for anything more, he was professional and got us the best case scenario especially with what we had. Thanks Matt! Gotta c...all shaf!!

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.
