Matt Hamilton - EXCELLENT CRIMINAL ATTORNEY!! A Real Winner!!!
I had searched and searched for the right attorney to hire to help my brother, who has been held in Trinity County for almost 3 years. Each attorney that was used failed to help him. They did not care about what happened to my brother. They only took the money and did not provide competent legal services for my brother. I did not trust any of them. I started researching attorneys and found Matt Hamilton. He responded to my call and told me that he would review my brother's criminal case first and if he could help him, he would take the case. He instilled confidence, trust in him immediately, and I truly believed that he could help my brother! I knew that as we talked, his knowledge base in Criminal Law is EXCELLENT!! I just knew that he was the right one! My Dad spoke with him and said he trusted him as well and that was definitely a plus! He has a lot of confidence in Matt Hamilton. However, he didn't feel have any confidence in any of the prior attorneys handling my brother's case, but he felt good about MATT!!! I knew then that MATT was the right one!! I believe in him, he responds to your calls of inquiry, he fights for you and/or your loved ones and he IS helping my brother! He's a PLUS to your firm. I have another case for him that I will submit to him early next week. I will use your firm again and will refer Matt and your firm to others. Thank you Matt for helping my brother and helping our family!! Be blessed and Congrats on your Baby Girl!

Awesome Attorney
Mr. Matt could've done this with his eyes closed. Always kept me in a comfortable position even though my tough and stressful case. He knows what he's doing and how to maneuver throughout the justice system with ease. The hospitality and service of the staff was superb. Matt was able to get me a second chance. Thanks Matt! Peace and love to you and yours.

Great Lawyer
Matthew was court appointed to handle a case for my son in Collin County. I was very pleased with his dedication and expertise. Matthew was very thorough with us and kept us well informed as the case progressed. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone in need of a top-notch defense attorney.

Better call Matt
I acquired Matthew as a court appointed attorney in Collin county and we all know how that goes. Surprisingly he and his staff kept my family up to date with my case, he worked with us and understood our family needs. I originally was sent a deal for 8 years and with his commitment it got reduced to 11 days in jail and 6 months ankle gps tracking. We admire his dedication and would recommend him to anyone seeking representation.

The Best Lawyer
We hired Matt Hamilton for Leah's case and he was an excellent attorney. Through his diligence, perseverance, professionalism, timely follow-up, and respectful and informative dialogue, we were able to get the case dismissed. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone needing legal assistance. Through the whole process, we were made to feel at ease and well taken care of. He instilled a confidence in both of us that was comforting and decreased our anxiety. We appreciated his service immensely.

Saving grace
At a time when I was 98% sure that things were only going to get worse, substantially worse, I finally caught a break. I couldn't have been more on my own, and at a time when when being alone/on my own was the very last thing I wanted, Matt showed me that I wasn't. The very first conversation he and I had, he made me feel like we'd known each other for years. A comfort someone needs when facing anything that's life-changing. He even met with me on Sunday's, and he never once made me feel like a "client", but a long time friend!! I'll recommend Matt without the slightest of hesitation, and will do so with confidence!! Thank you again Matt, for everything!!

Nothing but the Best!!!
Matt Hamilton is amazing, being young at the age of 18 and never being in trouble he was an attorney who made me feel comfortable and confident that everything will be okay! He was awesome at keeping me and my family informed on all that was going on. From the time we first hired him he was on the case getting it to move along a lot faster. I would recommend him to anyone and if any future references happen Matt will be the go to guy. He is very knowledgeable on the system with being a former assistant district attorney, he was awesome at explaining how everything work and where my placement was in all of it. He truly cares about his clients and will do all he can to get them the best result!

Matt the Miracle Worker
Matt preforms miracles!!!!! He got my husband off of probation after his third violation. He got all his charges dropped despite, all of the overwhelming evidence against him. We were for sure that he was going to prison for the max but Matt, turn everything around and my husband was released that same day
