Best criminal defense attorney I've hired

I hired Matt Last for a huge criminal case I was facing that could have sent me to prison for decades. Matt fought my case all the way through trial, and won. Anyone facing serious time and in need of a serious criminal defense lawyer needs to hire this guy.

Couldnt get me off of a ticket

This guy is a chump First, he lied to about the transcripts. Every trial is recorded, I wasn't in court, he was appearing for me. I got convicted of my “disturbing the Peace” ticket witj ZERO evidence. So I asked him for the transcript, he said there wasn't one. Called the court and for $12 I got ...the audio. The judge says at the opening of the case “this is a hearsay case” and Matt Last didnt say word! The judge even said “this is hearsay” and this lawyer didnt speak. Actually he didnt speak at all. Contact me before you hire him and I will email you the transcript of this man skills! [email protected] He will just take your money - he is the worst

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 11

Relationship: Co-worker

"Matt is one of the best attorneys I've ever had the privilege to work with. He is a zealous and dedicated advocate with a brilliant legal mind, but even beyond that he is always kind and compassionate to his clients. I have never heard a single person say a bad thing about him, which in this profession -- particularly in criminal defense -- is rare. Further, he has never refused to meet for coffee to help me brainstorm my tough cases or offered to cover a hearing for me if I was stuck in court. As a lawyer, a friend, and a human being, Matt Last is one of the best I know. Anyone who hires him will never come away disappointed."

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.
