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.

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.

Great and fair attorney!

Mr. Flemister is a great and fair attorney. Not only was he able to get my case dismissed, but he was fair with his pricing and kept his word every step of the way without misleading me into something that may not have happened. He was very forthcoming with every expectation I had and he delivered an...d then some. I happily endorse Mr. Flemister and if I ever need council in the future (which I hope not), I will hire him again. I'm very pleased with everything he did and he gave my unimaginable circumstances hope and made me feel like it's not the end of the world.

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!
