A great outcome afroma great attorney

Mr. Matthew Downs took my son's case even though I reached out to him late in the legal process. Matthew not only took the case, where my son was looking at multiple violations, he engaged immediately, demonstrated a high level of professionalism, legal knowledge and class. Matthew was recommended to... me and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an engaging, classy, intelligent and fair attorney. He is confident, clearly understands the law and in the end, was able to reduce my son's penalty significantly.

Is the right attorney for complex multi county case

Mr. Downs has gone the extra mile for my son who has had multiple counties, multiple charge case. He was able to utilize his expertise to get one count reduced from a 5 year term to probation! I would respectfully refer any case to him, from simple criminal offenses to the most complex.
