Don't believe the "positive" online reviews
I would give fewer stars if it was possible and advise you not to believe all the positive reviews here! Matt Peacock took my money in late November 2024 and did NOTHING to help me. I spoke with him on the phone for less than 5 minutes and everything else was through his staff. I couldn't discuss a ...

Replied last September 15, 2025Sandra, You never hired me to represent you, you hired the Medlin Law Firm- with whom I was employed at the time. I never met you at the time of the consultation but had multiple phone calls and office meetings with you. As we was the office policy, once you stopped paying for us to continue to represent you, we were unable to do any more work on the case. At the time we withdrew, you desperately wanted the firm to stay in your case so it’s ridiculous to claim that you heard someone say “bleed them and plead them.” And, as a matter of fact, I never asked you to take a plea on your case. I actually told you, as I tell all of my clients, that I would go to trial for you. I didn’t plea your case or take any of your money. I had no dealings with client payments or client intake while with the Medlin Firm. You were the one who didn’t up hold the financial end of your promise, so the firm was, unfortunately, forced to withdraw from your case. I’m sorry things went sideways with your relationship with the firm, but I have many client google reviews that show I am ethical and above board. I have always prided myself on how I treat clients, my ability to communicate with them, and my skills in the courtroom fighting for each client, regardless of the case.

Awesome attorney and legal team
Matt and his legal assistant Natalie were amazing. He and Natalie always kept me informed about my case and how it was progressing. They always returned my phone calls! And Matt got me an amazing outcome. They are both an asset to the Medlin law firm!
