Best Lawyer for felony/DUI cases

Matthew allowed me to have the best experience being the first lawyer I’ve ever had to have AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST LOL, but I had a felony charge due to the changing of laws through state borders and a DUI/Poss of alcohol as a minor and he got me the best deal and now I’m able to live my life again. ...I can drive freely, seal my record thanks to him. He’s a very trustworthy man, respectful and highly communicative. He walked me through this whole process with nothing but kindness and patience. Highly appreciate and recommend Mr. Flemister!!!

Above and beyond

When I came to Mr. Flemister I had very low hopes for anyone to be able to help me. After only a month he had not only done more than the public defender had done in 6-7 months but he also had put my mind at ease but made sure to be honest by telling me nothing is certain. Mr. Flemister not only kept... me updated and current on everything that I needed to know but he also was available anytime and EVERYTIME I had questions or concerns or information for him as well! After a very short time he was able to get my conviction lowered extremely from my original charges. I was able to make payments towards this process and sometimes even when unable to pay I called and he was quick to find solutions and ways to make up for my shortcomings or reschedule them to a better time as long as I stayed in contact and kept him up to date on my situations as well! Overall, I truly and honestly have no clue how bad my situation would be if it wasn’t for this man! Matthew Flemister I hope you get to read this because my thank you comes from not just me but my entire family and friends! I would highly recommend you to anyone and everyone that needs an amazing defense that actually listens to you and cares for you genuinely as a person not a number or a dollar sign! If ever I was to need another he would be the first one I would call!

An angel in disguise, he saved my life against an unimaginable injustice.

I cannot recommend Mathew at Nelson & Marks law firm, highly enough. As my defense attorney, he not only provided excellent legal counsel, but also showed genuine compassion and concern for my situation. When Mathew first took my case, I was feeling defeated, scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what ...to expect. However, he immediately put me at ease with his calm demeanor, patient explanations, and obvious expertise. Over the course of my case, Mathew regularly made himself available to answer my panicked calls and questions. He walked me through each step of the complex legal process in terms I could understand. I always felt he had my best interests at heart. Mathew stepped up and aggressively fought for me when no one else was. His integrity, grit, and determination saved me from an unjust conviction. Even more, his humanity gave me the strength to endure this traumatic experience. I am eternally grateful that Mathew fought in my corner. He truly went above and beyond in his fight on behalf and is simply the best of the best! I cannot thank him enough for stepping in when he did. As my defense attorney, he didn't just provide excellent legal counsel, he truly fought for me against an injustice. If you’re facing a legal battle, this is the kind of attorney you want and need on your side!

Awesome Attorney

He is exactly what someone needs when hiring a criminal defense attorney. He was very informative and able to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. He kept me updated on every development in my case. He wasn't afraid to have tough conversations with me. I told him from the beginning t...hat I didn't want to go to jail and didn't want a felony charge on my record. He was able to convince the prosecutor to do both. I am very happy with what he did for me. I would highly recommend him for anyone facing felony charges.

Honest, Caring, Decisive

Our Grandson is a mentally disabled, incapacitated "adult". He is also Autistic. He found himself in complex legal trouble because he was easily influenced by "friends" who used him to do bad. Matthew abily guided us through a bewildering maze of legal decisions resulting in a successful negotiated... agreement, which protected our Grandson from possible incarceration. Matthew spoke truth to us - always what we needed to hear. He took the time to understand our Grandson's disorders, and forcefully argued and defended his case to both the Prosecution and Court. Matthew is all a professional Attorney should be - and more. We are forever grateful for his counsel, legal knowledge, and most of all his kindness.
