Honorable

Just want to say thanks. You went over and beyond to make sure everything was handled. Greatly appreciated

.

Mr Theus was able to negotiate permission for me to attend defensive driving school when I thought that it wouldn’t be possible. By me attending the course I have avoided a hike in my insurance and loss of driving a company vehicle.

Traffic citation

Received a traffic citation that I ran a red light when I didn’t. Immediately went to mr Theus and told him I dint have time to deal with this issue and didn’t want it going on my insurance or against my record because I have a commercial driver’s license. Mr Theus told me not to worry and began work...ing on my case. Two days later I got an email saying not to worry he should be able to get it handled without affecting my record. I have never been in and out of court so fast he showed up on time mind you and had me leaving in less than 15 minutes with a 100 dollar court fee and a dismissal. Thank you Mr Theus hopefully I won’t have to be back but if I ever need a lawyer it will be you.

Great

Matt made the experience of dealing with the legal system, a pleasant one. From the beginning, he kept informed on the best & worst case scenario of my judgement. Even though it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, it was not the worst case scenario.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
