Criminal Defense

Mr. Crigger was able to work with the district attorney in Nashville to get my case reduced down from a possible DUI charge to a reckless driving charge with the argument of lack of proof for conviction. He was more than accommodating when meeting with me between consultation and being hired to fit m...y busy schedule. Mr. Crigger stayed in touch with me throughout the whole 3.5 month process of the case keeping me updated on every step and advancement so I never felt in the dark about what was to come. He was easy to talk to and put my trust into to case the case resolved the most favorable way possible.

100% success rate for me thanks to Matthew !

I was the victim of some unfortunate circumstances from April to September of this year . All three events required me to need legal assistance . Matthew was referred to me by a friend , and he was as professional as I could have asked for . He helped me to win all three of my cases . I would highly... recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer.

Worked Hard to get us a Good Settlement

Matthew worked hard with us to get us a fair settlement. We had to take our neighbors to court over many trees of ours that they had cut down.....It took several months, but Matthew was able to get us a very fair settlement right before the court date.

Very helpful

Mr. Crigger has adeptly guided my family over the last couple of years through some of life's most traumatic and tragic experiences. Not only has he provided accurate advice on how to proceed in divorce, foreclosure, death, estates, and wills, but he also took the time to establish a plan for our sp...ecific needs. He made sure he understood what we wanted accomplished, and he thoroughly explained what we needed to do to best meet those goals. We always received a timely response to our questions and concerns. Obviously, we retained multiple lawyers during these many circumstances, and many times, Mr. Crigger was the only attorney who gave us the correct advice, and expected outcomes.

Frustrating

I hired Matthew Crigger to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. Need less to say, I changed attorneys before we even stated negotiations on my divorce because his representation in my custody case for a parenting plan was extremely poor. All he did was push paperwork. I felt as if I ...was always telling him how to represent me instead of the other way around. It is an awful feeling to go to court knowing you are up against your spouse, her attorney and your own attorney. He was not an advocate for me. Divorce is stressful enough but even more so when children are involved. If you want a fair and fighting chance, I would not recommend Matthew Crigger. He simply is not experienced enough, especially against an aggressive attorney who knows their stuff.
