Law Firm You Can Trust

From the moment I met Matthew Kaylor he treated me with respect and never made me feel judged. He was completely upfront and honest with me during the consultation and even gave me some genuine advice not knowing if I was going to hire him. Matthew or David was at every court hearing without fail ...and they never stopped advocating for my best interest and ultimately got my case to diversion program and ultimately dismissed. Matthew always responded to my emails promptly, answered my questions and kept me informed. The cost quoted was what was charged and I am still blown away at how remarkably honest and fair the rate was. This Law Firm is a must to consult with before you make a decision on what lawyer to hire.

DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM AS A LAWYER

Hired for first offense misdemeanor. met with me once, charged services to my credit card, then never returned my calls, settled my case on my own without his assistance.

We HIGHLY recommend Mr. K. Kaylor: We are grateful for him!

Our son was charged with domestic assault and other charges involving his ex-girlfriend. nerve and upset, I called a lawyer in the Polk County area referred to me by a hillsborough lawyer, but to my dismay I was not happy with the results. He made me feel more like dollars signs than a parent tryi...ng to seek legal advice for her son. I explain my son's charges to the lawyer. I was giving a hefty price over the phone without asking to make an appointment for a consultation . While attending my son's court hearing, I saw a friend who works in the Polk County Courthouse with her help. She referred me to Mr. Matthew Kaylor. Mr. Kaylor made me feel at ease during my consultation, explaining my son's charges to me, the process, his rates, and overall he's was very knowledgeable, professional, responsive in returning calls, kept me informed with my son's case, very honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend him......I'm very appreciative of him and his law firm..

new meaning to lawyers....

I was very pleased with the way my case was handled from start to finish. He assisted me on 2 seperate issues. Very trustworthy and honest. Straight to the point and always answers calls quickly. He makes his clients his first priority and you can tell he is there because he cares. He isn't just... a lawyer, he was my lawyer. I was so pleased with him I recently hired him for another case. He was very knowledgable and knew his way around the courtroom. I also felt like he was there to make a difference and do what was right. I couldn't have made a better decision in choosing a lawyer.

"I endorse this lawyer. Matthew is an excellent defense attorney. He was opposing counsel in many of my criminal cases during my days as a prosecutor. He always knew his cases well, and he always found good defenses for his clients. Anyone that makes the good decision of hiring Matthew for their crimin cases should rest assured that they will be taken care."
