Best Outcome I Could of Expected
Matt was always quick to respond. He ensured I kept my driving privileges and ensured my DUI went away. Actually, he was successful in ensuring I was never charged with a DUI. I could not of asked for a better outcome.

Mr Fry esquire
It took a year and a half, However; needed all that time to keep me freedom. Matthew is definitely different than most, that is what makes him special. He saved my life , the best he could. I do believe if he didn’t help , not sure what I would of done. Probably self harm . This world is upside down. He’s made it right for least a little while. Thank you Matt

Attorney who gets Results
Matt Fry is a criminal attorney who gets results. Not only results but he always keeps you informed as your case goes through the legal system. In addition, his office mails letters to you reminding you of the dates you need to appear for court but most of the time Matt handles all these appearances and rarely requiring you to attend thus saving you time and trouble. He is only a text or call away 24x7x365. Matt is very connected with the court system and well respected among the judges and prosecutors. He has represented my family on cases that he has won and in one case was somehow able to get a felony charge dismissed. He will work hard to get the best results. The best thing for us was that Matt gave us an upfront dollar amount for his services and has never nickel and dimed us along the way. I strongly urge you to hire him no one else will take your case more seriously and get you the best result.

Excellent representation
Unfortunately, I was arrested for 2 DWI convictions in St. Louis County over a span of 4 years. Matt discussed each option thoroughly with me, describing the potential outcomes of each. He was able to avoid convictions on both counts and I never lost my license. I. would highly recommend using Matt should you find yourself in this position.

Best in class.
Matt Fry handled my case with expert precision. It was obvious why his experience and success rate is top level. That showed throughout every part of the process. My impaired driving case was dismissed and my license case won. No better outcome possible.

DWI Case
I came to Matt with a DWI and administrative suspension. My goal was to protect all of my records (i.e., arrest, criminal, and driving record). Matt got rid of the DWI and then fought all the way to the Court of Appeals to make sure my driving record was wiped clean. Matt got it done! I highly recommend Matt.

This is the attorney you want. You can stop searching....
Matt Fry is an amazing attorney. I found myself in an unfortunate situation where I had made a mistake and faced a serious legal issue. Matt was able to analyze the case, and realize that there was pending litigation in the Missouri Supreme Court that could directly effect the outcome of my case. Where a lessor attorney may not have even been aware of the pending case and would have advised me to take a plea deal. Because of his knowledge, Matt has able to navigate the legal system effectively so the Supreme Court decision could be used in my case and ultimately got the charges reduced to something insignificant. His advice and counsel was valuable and reassuring. He always returned my phone calls and texts in a timely manner. If you ever find yourself in a situation similar to mine, you want Matt in your corner.

Talk to matt fry if you need criminal defense help
I turned to Matt when when I wasnt confident in my previous lawyer to handle my case. Matt was able to handle my case from start to finish and communicated to me during every step. He was always transparent and goes the extra mile to stay in touch with his clients. If you are facing a criminal legal matter and you're not sure where to turn for help, I would highly recommend that you speak with Matt Fry.

Great lawyer, great guy
Matthew took my case involving 2 dwi's, he gave me a very fair price, and dealt with it in a very professional manner. I blew under the legal limit on all 3 yet the state still tried to convict me, while avoiding trial, Matthew acquired evidence presented it to the court proving my innocence. I highly recommend him he kept me calm while I was only a 21 year old kid at the time.
