Great lawyer

My buddy has Matt Stevenson as a lawyer, and he has helped him through a tough time. Matt has give him some great ideas and options to help him. I would highly recommend him to anybody.

Posted by Kevin | September 04, 2019

A level above and beyond.

A friend of mine met with multiple lawyers over an issue he was having. All the other lawyers named the same angle as my friend, and their approach. Mat gave him a much better idea that mafe more sense immediately. Not one of the other lawyers thought of this angle. If i found myself in trouble? Mat ...would be my first call.

I had plead guilty week before (Via a plea agreement) awaiting sentencing suggested by one of those other attorneys. Mr. Stevenson had open ears listen to all of it! Was able to get the Guilty Plea reversed and was not going allow me to take the fall. His persistence of my innocents and the law after 3 years during Jury selection the State Dismissed the charge!

I felt like My life was at Rock Bottom when I had initialy consulted with Mat, Before my first case was over I even hired him 2X

Then things got even worse, in one case, which had appeared a pretty open and shut case, He ended up never attempting to fight the case and the prosecutor had changed the plea deal in the last minute, consequently doubling my already unusually harsh jail sentence, fines, fees and disappointment. The ...next case was much more important considering I was facing a felony. He had me thoroughly convinced we could get dropped to a misdemeanor. So when he told me that even if I had gotten it dropped to a DUI, it would be my 3rd charge resulting in a felony either way. Well as Montana's codes and statutes apply, Interestingly enough, it turns out it is in fact 4 Consecutive DUI's which constitutes a Felony. So I ended up getting a felony when I had expected a DUI, and got an extra long sentence for a min. cutoff THC DUI... This case occurred in 2013, and sadly enough I'm still on paper after getting my probation revoked. I chose to let the state appoint me a Public Defender in that case, I've been fairly pleased with him overall, next time I've already decided ill be the one to represent my corporate fiction.

Complex Felony

At first glance, my case appeared to me to be fairly simple. As the evidence poured in it was anything but. Mat spent countless hours researching and talking with detectives and the prosecutor and stood by my side the whole way. My thanks go out to Mat and the whole team at Bigskylegal for getting me... an outcome better than I could have ever hoped for. B.L.
