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.

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.

Outstanding Lawyer! A True Blessing!

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew on my recent legal matter, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the very beginning, Matthew demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and a genuine commitment to my case. He took the time to explain every step of... the process, answered all my questions thoroughly, and provided sound advice that made me feel comfortable and at ease. His dedication to understanding the details of my case and taking such strategic approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome, which was getting the case of 2 felonies dismissed! Words can’t express how truly of a blessing it was to work with him as my lawyer in such a scary, difficult timing you will not regret hiring him whatsoever, I highly recommend Matthew Flemister to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable attorney. Thank you for your outstanding support and representation!

Look no further for the best

Matthew went above and beyond for me during a horrible chapter in my life. I had no prior criminal record and had an unfortunate situation turn into a felony arrest right when the Covid lockdown started. Because of Covid it took over a year of going to court dates on zoom and going back and forth wit...h the prosecutors, but ultimately Matthew was able to get all my charges dismissed. He kept me in the loop every step of the way. He explained things to me in a way i understood. I never had an issue getting in touch with him, he was always personally available to answer my questions. If you’re looking for legal representation don’t look any farther, hire Matthew Flemeister immediately!

Kind, Courteous and Effective

Matthew is exactly who you need if you find yourself charged with a crime. He was extremely patient and very informative. He answered all of our questions and listened to all of our concerns. He worked tirelessly for us and we got our case dismissed as a result. I would hire him again in a heartb...eat, although I hope I never have to.
