Great lawyer and great guy
Mr. Gebhardt is an excellent attorney. I had a difficult dui case which I was very frustrated by and Matt took me through it with ease and got me the best possible outcome. He spends time working with you and does not discriminate. He definitely gave me a feeling of being on my side when it seemed everyone else was against me and looking down at me. He also worked with me on his fee and gave me time to pay it. Hire this guy, you'll be glad you did.

Excellent Lawyer And Even Better Person.
I was convicted of a crime just over a year ago for first time in my life. Prior to this conviction, the only legal trouble I have had was a speeding ticket. I was referred to Matt by a co-worker. Naturally I had no idea how the legal system worked or what lied ahead of me. Matt made this life changing event much easier to understand. He was not judgmental, very knowledgeable, and gave both my wife and I peace of mind. Matt was not there to collect my money. He showed a genuine interest, and care towards us. In the end, my case ended up being more complicated than I expected. With that being said, Matt did an excellent job and resolved things in my favor.

Matt Gebhardt Review
Matt was referred to me by a good friend. He was a great help as I sold my condo and purchased a new home. He helped to mitigate some issues that came up on the mortgage processing side as well. I would highly recommend him and use him again in the future.

Dependable, Knowledgable, Great follow through! Highly recommend!
I was recommended by a friend and was not disappointed with any of the service Matt provided. Matt knew this was my first real estate transaction in the city of Chicago and quickly explained the differences from those activities that I was accustomed to. He was very patient with me as I asked many questions and counseled me as needed. I would encourage anyone that needs an attorney in IL to utilize Matt.

I give Matthew Gebhart 1000 stars!
I was in a pickle and Matt was the only lawyer that gave me any hope at all. Left and right, lawyers were telling me my case was hopeless...their best case scenarios all had horrible penalties involved. Some included community service and even jail time. I felt like I was at the end of my options until I got a call back from Matthew Gebhart. After speaking with Matt, I immediately knew that this guy was the lawyer for me. Not only did I NOT have to worry about all those so-called 'best case scenarios' that the other lawyers pitched, but the entire case was dismissed and I walked away!!! This guy knows his stuff!

Good Real estate attorney
He made the process of buying and closing on the short sale condo that we bought very easy and kept us updated throughout the process. For the service he provided it was a very good price.

Highly Recommended
Never having worked with a lawyer before, Mr. Gebhardt made sure that I understood all steps of the process and kept me informed every step of the way. He made me feel very comfortable with the decisions I was making and fought to make sure that I had the smoothest trial possible. I recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, hardworking attorney.

Matthew R. Gebhardt
I first met Matt several months ago when I needed help with a criminal defense case. This was a very difficult time for me and I consider myself fortunate to have found an Attorney that is not only extremely knowledgable in all aspects of the law but very professional and honest. Matt is very straight forward and does not tell his clients "what they want to hear" he tells it like it is and "goes above and beyond" to make sure his clients are given the best representation possible. Matt is able to interpret the law and then explain my options in a manner that I could understand. If you are reading this because you are in need of an Attorney I would strongly suggest that you contact Matthew Gebhardt immediately.

Recommendation for Matt Gebhadt
I first met Matt a few years ago when I had a traffic court case. He handled the case in a stellar, professional manner. He is very knowledgeable in his field and is extremely trustworthy. Having worked with a couple of attorneys on various issues through the years, I had come to distrust attorneys. Matt turned all of that around completely. While he must be and should be paid for his services, Matt does not put money first. He is a different kind of attorney because...he cares. I was so confident and will remain that way, that I recommended him when my daughter had a traffic court case. I also recommended him for a criminal misdeameanor court case. Both my daughter and the other client were completely satisfied with the results. He lived up to his hard and well earned reputation. If one should hire Matt, and I strongly recommend that you do for any case, please be honest with him because he operates on an honest principle. Good or bad, right or wrong he will fight for you to get the best possible end result. He does not sugar coat anything, but is straightforward. He is also non-judgmental while being very personable. I could go on and on about Matt but I think the point has been made very clear. Now I not only view him as a professional, I view him as my family attorney and yes, even a friend.
