Thank you for your advocacy Chris. Reversing guilty pleas (entered into with other attorneys as representation) is difficult and statistically unlikely (to work) but indeed it did work in your case. And as I recall, not only was the plea reversed, but the prosecution dropped the felony allegations entirely. Thanks for taking the time to voice your enthusiasm. Sincerely, Mat Stevenson

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...
Thank you (B.L.) for your appreciation, and enthusiasm, and thanks for taking the time to express it. Sincerely- Mat Stevenson
