Outstanding and Trusted Attorney. Even better person.

We do not live in Montana, but a family issue arose involving court records in Montana that were inaccurate and publicly visible. We were referred to Matt McKeon by a highly respected leader in Missoula, who told me that while Matt was a top criminal defense attorney, he is also the kind of lawyer wh...o is willing to take on a matter simply because someone needs help. Our case was small compared with the cases Matt normally handles. But from my very first conversation with him, he made it clear that it would not be small to him. He assured me he would give it every ounce of energy and care necessary to get the best possible result. Matt explained the process extremely clearly. He told me the odds of success were very good, but he never promised something he couldn’t guarantee. He also told me it would probably take a couple of months, not because of the work on his end, but because of the administrative process involved in working through the federal system in Montana. He could not have been more straightforward or honest. What impressed me most, though, was the way Matt handled the matter personally. He cared about me, he cared about our family, and he stayed on top of what was, at times, a very tedious process. He communicated regularly and, whenever we spoke, took whatever time was needed to answer every question and make sure I understood exactly where things stood. Matt was highly capable and tenacious and also deeply caring, and diligent in making sure the matter was resolved properly and that we were fully informed and comfortable throughout the process. I could not recommend Matt McKeon more highly as a lawyer but even more importantly, as a person.

Tenacious Advocate

"If you are facing serious criminal charges, you need an attorney who understands both Montana state law and the complexities of the federal system. Matt is that lawyer. He is a fierce defender with a mastery of federal jurisdiction, but what sets him apart is his heart. He genuinely cares about the ...person, not just the case. Throughout my legal battle, he consistently went above and beyond, offering unshakable support and meticulous representation. He saved my future, and I am forever grateful."

If you want an attorney that is honest and informative to you then Matt McKeon is the attorney for you.

I am a first time offender and completely new to the court system. I was very concerned not knowing what was going on and what to expect. Matt McKeon was very easy to talk to about my case. I felt at ease after he explained what was happening and what the court system is about. Any questions I had ...he was there to answer them. He explained procedures clearly and made sure I understood everything. He is very informative and made himself and his staff available if I had questions or needed to communicate with him. I felt very comfortable with Mr McKeon representing me in court. I would definitely recommend him as a attorney. Very professional and friendly.

Responsive and Professional Advocate

We had an excellent experience working with Matt through my son's DUI case. He was professional and respectful throughout the entire process. He was easy to communicate with, always responsive, and explained everything clearly. His approachable, relatable manner made a difficult situation much less s...tressful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable and compassionate legal representation.
