Shark!!!

After receiving an OWI 1st & a Felony Bribery charge in April of 2015 I knew it was going to take the help of a Shark to get me back on the right side of the law. I consulted a friend of mine that's the police cheif of the small town that I'm from. He highly recommended Matt Lindholm as he knew he wa...s highly respected & feared (in a good way) by the local county attorneys that had had dealings with him. To say my friend was right would be an extreme understatement. Matt was (is) an absolute professional in every degree of the term. Long story short, after watching Matt grill my arresting officer for just over 2 hours straight during depositions; picking apart every lie the officer could fabricate; exposing every hole possible; the County Attorney thought it'd be a good idea to offer a Reckless Driving & an Interference with Official Acts Plea Deal. I never lost my lisence, nor spent a second in jail. Only had to pay a couple fines & moved on with my life. I am forever greatful for Matt & everyone over at GRL Law for helping me through the mess of the legal process.

OWI Dismissed to lesser charge

I was arrested for OWI in April of 2016. I am a 49 yr old female with a great job that requires me to drive for work needless to say I feared losing my career . Matt was referred to me from a friend that heard how good he was . That he is , my OWI was dismissed to a lesser charge , I got to keep my ...job & my dignity. I can not express enough how great of an attorney Matthew is & his team, I fully recommend him .

OWI

I was pulled over driving a friends car with the right headlight out. Unfortunately, we had been drinking and I was arrested for OWI. What a nightmare. To be honest I was basically in shock about the whole thing for some time. I really did not know what to do. I asked around and one lawyer stoo...d out as the lawyer to get to represent you when you have this OWI and that lawyer was Matt Lindholm. I live in a small town and without good representation I am sure I would not have gotten much help with a local attorney. Matt got me 90 days of driving and then had the OWI reduced to a lesser charge. I am sure this would not have happened without Matt and his experienced impact on the local county attorney. I would urge anyone to go to Matt if they find themselves in an OWI situation.

Pulled off a Miracle

Matt was top notch!!!! Being originally from Chicago, IL and unfamiliar with the specifics of OWI laws in this state I made some very critical mistakes in how I handled my interaction with the officers who pulled me over that night by refusing the Breathalyzer both at the arresting site and at the st...ation which makes things worse here as I found out later. After meeting with Matt one time I knew he was the guy in telling me if there was an angle to exploit the charge and actions of the arresting officers he would. He did just that as he was able to find an angle to question one of the officers statements during the arrest which resulted in his filing for a motion to suppress the Breathalyzer refusal. At that point the county prosecutor knowing Matt had a pretty solid argument to have the evidence suppressed and struck a deal with Matt. As opposed to an automatic 12 month suspension, 3 months for a work driving permit and an owi on my record the charges got brought down to a deferred sentence of only a 3 month license suspension, 1 year of probation, cannot get another one for 12 years(and one was enough for me lol), no owi as long as I complete my probation and no other owi charges obviously and some fines. Matt was well worth the money I paid for his services, he and one of his legal assistants kept me promptly informed during all phases of the proceedings including when I did and didn't have to be in court and how things were going to play out. Matt knows his stuff and gives it to you straight. If there is something to your situation he can find to relieve the burden of your case this guy will find it HANDS DOWN!! If you need a superb attorney that is professional, honest and hard working to your benefit you'd be a fool not to seek out Matt. He is absolutely the lawyer you want!!!!!!!!!!

Matt is amazing!

I hired Matt to represent me for an OWI 1st and a child endangerment charge. Matt will not sugarcoat anything, but he knows the law and he will pursue every option available. He got back to me promptly and efficiently, and he answered all questions I had about my case. He is very upfront, no nonsense..., and honest. He knows the law, it is quite clear that he does his research on your case and possible past cases that may pertain, and he is very passionate about what he does. I was not 'promised' anything, as there are no such things when it comes to criminal law. I most definitely would recommend Matt to anyone who is seeking a very bright, thorough, and passionate attorney.
