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.

Worked very hard with the prosecutor to minimize payments. Was very understanding of my situation and very knowledgeable about law.
