Posted by anonymous | March 24, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Does his homework! Keeps it real.

Matthew was hired by my son as his attorney for a traffic ticket that he received in a suburb of Detroit. The violation was extremely absurd and we also felt that it was racially motivated. Matthew listened to our expressed concerns and jumped in immediately to substitute for our previous attorney. H...is knowledge of the law and expertise litigation skill is what led the city attorney to reduce the offense, from one of the highest moving violations to the lowest possible. We never stepped foot in court. Matthew communicates extremely well and is a force to be reckoned with. It is because of his defense, preparation and communication with that city, even prior to the scheduled court date, that led to my son's win. Thank you so much Matthew.

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.

  • 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.
