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!

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.

Excellent lawyer

Matt was my lawyer. He communicated with me regularly, he worked with the prosecutor, and was able to get my case dropped. Amazing service, glad I was able to have him. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I first met Matt when he was an assistant DA. I was so impressed with him that I hired him to help me. Matt now handles his own docket including felonies and federal cases. He researches the law and finds an out for his clients. If that doesn't work, he will try the case. Matt is very good in trial because he connects with juries. And he wins! Matt is an excellent attorney."
