Phenomenal!

Matt Theus is a great lawyer! From start to finish, he did a fantastic job. Communication was outstanding through the entire trial. Thank you again for an awesome attorney!

Professional, Friendly and kind.

I got a citation in Birmingham AL. I hired an attorney who will remain nameless to help me with the ticket. To get a hold of this law firm was a nightmare and communication was none existent. A quick Google search put my in touch with Matthew (Matt) Theus Law Firm. I called him. He didn't answer but ...got back to me in a timely manner. He explained what my options where and we proceeded from there. By speaking with Matt, I could tell he had a lot of experience with the courts in and around Birmingham AL. Matt was always on tope of things. He communicated with me via calls and emails. He called and emailed me before he presented my case. He called and emailed me when a court date was set. He called and emailed me 2 days prior to the court date to make sure I would appear in court. It was always on my mind and I wouldn't have forgotten it. As a CDL holder, my License is the way I provide and feed my family. It felted good to know that he remembered and would not miss my court day. Matt was on time on my court day. He explained everything that was going on. I am absolutely satisfied with the out come of my case. If you are a CDL holder, I hope and pary that you do not get a ticket in Alabama. I hope and pray that you do not get a ticket period, but If you do, call Matthew Theus's Law Firm. He is professional and will try his best to help you get a position outcome.

A man that cares about your case & his work

OK I got appointed Matt for my case and I will let you know right now this man was on top of his game he kept me informed about what was going on in the case he did everything he was supposed to do and he even went above and beyond and made things better so this is definitely a man to hire to represe...nt you on a case.

Excellent Service: Ticket dismissed

My case was assigned to Matt by Offtherecord.com . Right after that, Matt sent me an email to let me know a time he would call me. He discussed the entire situation of the ticket and assured me that he would do his best to get this resolved in my favor. He updated me as needed regularly about my case.... In the end, case was dismissed by the judge. Right away, he called me to inform the dismissal and made my day, followed by the court dismissal order through email. I am glad that my insurance will not go up saving couple of hundreds. I will strongly recommend his services.

Excellent experience

Mr. Theus got my ticket dismissed before the judge started calling cases. We were in the courtroom for around a quarter of an hour. The whole experience was fast and efficient, and Mr. Theus was very easy to work with.

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.
