Extremely grateful!

I cannot recommend T.J. Matthes highly enough. Because the case was a serious and complex criminal case in Massachusetts, we need the best possible representation to take on a very tough fight. He immediately stepped up in a way that exceeded every expectation. From the very first call, it was cle...ar he had a deep understanding of the law and a strategic mindset that cut through the complexity of the case. He flew in multiple times, coordinated seamlessly with local counsel, and left no stone unturned in building the defense. He explained every step clearly, answered our countless questions patiently, and fought aggressively. If you're facing serious criminal charges and need a smart, dedicated, and battle-tested attorney who is willing to go the extra mile, then T.J. Matthes is the one you want in your corner.

A Beacon of Excellence

Thanks to Scott Rosenblum and T.J. Matthes, I achieved a positive outcome that I once thought was unattainable. Their legal expertise, empathy, honesty, and relentless work ethic came together to deliver results that exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful for their support during one of th...e most challenging times of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal counsel. They are a rare gem in the legal profession, and their dedication to their clients’ well-being is nothing short of remarkable. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares when no one else does, who embodies the values of honesty and integrity, and who works tirelessly to secure the best possible outcomes, then you need not look any further. Thank you, Scott Rosenblum and T.J. Matthes for your representation and support.

The attorney you want on your side!

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.

Best criminal defense lawyer ever

Mr. T.J. Matthes provided excellent service in helping my son and I create a trust in the justice system. Being a single mother raising a young African American male in St. Louis Missouri and fighting a lung disease without a cure. Mr. Matthes show great compassion and understanding, Mr. Matth...es treated us like family not like his clients. No matter what time of day or night we called him, he was there. This only reassured me that Mr. Matthes would give it his all and fight for my son and I. Mr. Matthes is professional and thoughtful. He knows his business and I highly recommend him.
