Call Stevenson Law and hire now

I found Mat Stevenson from a simple google search. Everything I found looked and sounded amazing. It was such a relief to learn how true this all was. Becky was perfect to deal with every time I call throughout my entire case. Mat put together and has the best team out there, especially in Montan...a. Kimberly, part of Mat's team, mostly took care of the legal predicament I was in for me. She bent over backward, even the judge and prosecutor were shocked at how this turned out. I was speechless and still am. Don't worry, you don't have to waste your time worrying anymore while you hunt for the right criminal defense attorney. Call Mathew M. Stevenson now.

Didn’t get the courtesy of a call back

I was very open to engaging his services. I have means where my S/ O doesn’t. Needed a consult on a parole violation. And potentially other matters. He was out of office. Spoke with a female who took the pertinent info down. Said he’d likely call or at least they’d set up a consult in a few ...days. I had to remind her she didn’t take my number before we hung up. It’s been over a week. I called and got a male phone answer. (Think he must hire an answering service). I explained I was still waiting but to take me off his call list. I got an excuse about a family emergency. Good save on part of the receptionist. But I believe it’s bogus. He didn’t care they were losing business no we are very sorry, here’s what we’re going to do. I’ll be sure to call a “top Lawyer” instead. When it’s a legal issue it can’t wait a week. He certainly doesn’t appreciate that enough to hire staff or an answering service that can follow up proactively to tell you he can’t get back to you. One thing that makes any consultant or professional of value is letting you know your needs are important to them. I would never engage his services if he can’t get even his first contact right.

The worst

Felt very lost Seems like he didn’t want to take the time to explain exactly what it was I was supposed to be pleased you did not take into consideration as my kid or is it the thousands of dollars that I spent him and because I I didn’t do a plea he quit got an attitude and told me that he was wasti...ng his time I don’t think that was very good professional etiquette

The best law firm around!

" I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. Mat and his staff got me through a rough time and complicated matter. My needs were put first and was treated like a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the proc...ess was always explained. Mat fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. Thank you all for everything!"

Aggressive Representation

"My experience with Stevenson Law Office exceeded my expectations and the attorneys are above reproach. Mat Stevenson and David Maldonado handled both my criminal and family law cases. They worked aggressively, communicated with me often, and handled both my cases with class. These guys are legal ge...niuses!! If you want respect, unparalleled legal services for a criminal or family law case, and the most positive outcome in your case, then these are your guys, bar none."

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.
