Amazing lawyer!! Highly recommend!!

We hired Mathew around a year ago for a criminal deportation case that we have been dealing with the last 7 years and he was absolutely amazing. He was able to get the charges dropped in less than a year when our last lawyer worked on the case and had gotten nowhere in 6 years.

He only takes the hardest cases and doesn't give up

We retained Atty. Luening in a Criminal Defense/Deportation Defense case. My brother was really in danger of being deported and Attorney Luening fought tirelessly to beat his criminal case and kept my brother here with his wife and his children. I can't say enough excellent things about Attorney Lu...ening!!

Great defense in immigration court

I hired Atty. Luening to defend me in immigration court. I had an old criminal conviction that made me unable to get out on bond from immigration custody. Attorney Luening used his super knowledge of the criminal justice system to reopen and eventually get dismissed my old conviction. I could then... get out on bond from Immigration Court. I would not be here in the United States if Attorney Luening had not agreed to take my case. He was a little expensive, but he really worked a miracle!! Well worth it!

Atty. Luening is an extremely dedicated lawyer - he helped when others couldn't

I was in the custody of immigration for 9 months. I had been arrested for my 2nd DUI and a Hit and Run Causing Injury. These convictions I had were pretty severe. Atty. Luening visited with me MULTIPLE times while I was in custody of immigration -- he took his own time on Saturdays and Sundays to ...prepare for my final hearing. Because of Atty. Luening's hard work and dedication, we won my case in immigration court -- he was able to get me cancellation of removal and I will now be a permanent resident thanks to his expertise in the law and his very hard work.

Irresponsible

My husband and I contacted him for a criminal case. He almost guaranteed us that we could get what we wanted. He was very responsive but after we made him the first payment he ignored our emails, texts, and calls. It took more than 3 months to communicate with him so that he could tell us that nothin...g can be done in our case. Money thirsty is what I got from him. Lo contratamos para un caso criminal despues de que nos garantiso que si se podia hacer algo. Despues de hacerle el primer pago nos ignoraba las llamadas, textos, y emails. Tardo como mas de 3 meses para comunicarse y decirnos que no se podia hacer nada para nuestro caso. Solo sigue tu cartera.
