Truly astonishing and outstanding defense lawyer against DUIs

Matthew Flemister is one of the best lawyers that I ever hired. He was always able to answer all my questions and call me back as soon as possible I am utterly elated that he was able to beat my case with such ease. I recommend Mr. Flemister to anybody who needs a miracle in their life. I appreciate ...him a lot and he’s a very understandable and patient man. Please do not hesitate to call to hire this amazing person!!

Truly Grateful for Matthew and his services

Matthew was confident taking my case to trial; he was a true professional and very skilled. Matthew cared about me and my family's well-being during the process of being accused of a crime you did not commit. He is very swift to respond to messages and will not try to talk you into something that is ...the easiest for him. He takes the right road even if its the tough one. We did prevail at trial, I was acquitted by a unanimous jury of 12 on two felony charges. If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of needing a criminal defense lawyer, especially if you are innocent, this attorney is going to work very hard for you.

Why I chose Matthew

Matthew cared about me as a person, which was a breath of fresh air. He was professional and stayed on top of my case. He kept me informed about everything. He explained everything to me. His abilities he displayed with confidence.

Incredibly informative, highly skilled, responsive, and a well-respected lawyer

I was completely clueless when I called Matthew. As I explained my situation to him, he immediately took charge and began working on it right away. I’m truly grateful that he listened to me attentively and clearly explained all the possible scenarios. After carefully evaluating my case, he told me... it should be dismissed—and he successfully got it dismissed. There were times when I felt broken and had no one to talk to, so I reached out to him. He was always quick to respond and showed genuine understanding and compassion. Matthew is highly informative, exceptionally skilled, responsive, and a well-respected lawyer. He will definitely be my go-to lawyer for life, and I would strongly recommend him for any legal situation you may face.

Lifesaver. THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST!!!

Mr. Flemister represented someone incredibly close to me; my younger brother, who had been sitting in county jail for nearly a year. Our family was at our lowest point. We were losing hope and bracing for the worst, pretty much convinced he was headed to prison . But by the grace of God, we found... Mr. Flemister (or as our family personally calls him, BIG FLEM!!!!) and everything changed. My brother was facing very serious charges… felony fleeing and weapon possession, in multiple counties at that. A case that even made national news. Most attorneys turned it down, saying there was no way to help him. But from the moment we brought him on board, the energy shifted. Communication was top notch. Professionalism? Impeccable. And while he never made any false promises, he always kept his word and gave us something we hadn’t felt in a long time which was HOPE. Fast forward: my brother is home, safe, doing well, and finally able to move forward with his life. ZERO prison time, not a felon, and most importantly second chance at life. Big Flem didn’t just fight a case…he helped restore our family’s peace. My only regret? Not hiring him from DAY ONE. The awards and accolades speak for themselves. This man is a young legend in the making!! A phenomenal attorney and an even better human being. If you’re looking for someone honest, reliable, and relentless in the courtroom, Big Flem is the one for you. Mark my words: He’s still young, but he has the potential to go down as one of the greatest attorneys Arkansas has ever seen. Thank me later.
