T.J. Mark Matthes

I very highly recommend TJ Matthes of Rosenblum, Schwartz, & Fry as your bulldog in a legal battle. He is an amazing lawyer who goes above and beyond to take care of his clients. We started out needing a criminal defense attorney when our adult son in the autism spectrum was falsely accused of a cl...ass A felony. TJ's expertise prevented our son from being questioned & no charges were ever filed, but the liar wasn't done. (The goal was to ruin us.) TJ stayed with us as our son, my husband, and myself went through multiple hearings in multiple counties - against the same person - to defend us against orders of protection, false claims of violations of temporary orders, slanderous defamation with our jobs, and even to represent us for our order of protection cases. When the legal attacks moved out of state, TJ went above and beyond to represent us for the first court date and found us another bulldog lawyer who won for us there. In total, we have won 15+ cases in the past 2 years. The liar is now facing criminal charges herself with more to come. We are so blessed to have TJ on our side, fighting our battles for our son and ourselves like he was fighting for family.

My son‘s case was very troubling for us as a family. He was facing felony charges and substantial prison time. My son Alex is my first born whom I love very. He got himself into legal matters bad decisions and actions. T.J. helped him enter into a diversion program and all my son had to do was fellow... the rules of the program and all would be forgiven. But, Alex failed in the program and was expelled from it. In order to enter into the diversion one must enter a guilty plea if you are expelled from the diversion it’s straight to sentencing. When Alex went into the program T.J.’s job was finished. We were pleased with the outcome. Alex in the program conducted through the CA’s office, long story short not complying with the rules more than a year later we had an intervention at the CA’s office and T.J. joined in on this meeting; remind you more than a year later and his job was done. T.J. spoke for my son on his character and the concerns us as a family had with Alex’s mental health. Fast, forward 6-7 months later Alex was arrested again, T.J. was contacted by the CA’s office simply because he was the last “attorney on file.” Now, T.J. could have given me a spiel that had to do with getting a “public defender,” but he did not, instead he said; “let me look into it.” Who does that other than someone who cares? Fast forward T.J. got my son’s case resolved with my son getting the help he needs with his mental health, his plea of guilty removed, and very well will have all his charges dropped. People, this doesn’t happen, but T.J. made it possible. I don’t give you this information to entertain you but to give you first a glimpse of this man’s character and then his abilities as an attorney. If you need an attorney that cares, has a heart, makes themselves available to you, one who doesn’t keep “bankers hours”, one who doesn’t rest until they get their clients the optimal outcome, one who is compassionate (yes I’m describing an attorney), one who’s not letting money be their “guiding principle” then you need to retain Mark Matthes (T.J.). I know how troubling and lonely it feels to go through a legal matter where civil liberties such as your freedom is at risk, you need to surround yourself with the best possible support and defense and I tell you, you will find that support and help in T.J. Through, this process I’ve learned just how respected T.J. is by prosecutors and judges, how well known he is by persons quite frankly it is their job to give you jail time. I recall in the intervention the Circuit Attorney saying to my son “You have support you have help and you have one of the best attorney’s in the state.” People this is spoken from the mouth of a person that it is their job to lock you up. And, in that moment how thankful we were for T.J. I would recommend T.J. to anyone that is in need of a defense attorney. Your first defense is the quality of attorney you hire. Thank you T.J. for everything you have done for our son.
