Acquitted of all criminal charges!

We hired Matt and Paul for my husbands case regarding false accusations against him made by his ex wife (ex has supervised visits only for the last 4.5 years) and son (severe abusive behavioral issues). Matt was available by phone (personal), email, and office ANYTIME we needed him. I would call him ...at home at night or email at night and he ALWAYS responded. We never felt rushed to get off the phone or get out of the office when meeting or speaking to him. He paid close attention to detail. He answered every single question and concern. I have to say I was the most anxious and scared. He always was able to make myself, our children and my husband feel at ease. He never made promises. He was always straight forward with us. He was 100% worth the money we paid. He took this case on 2 months before trial and it was as if he’d been by our side since the day it all started! We will always go straight to Matt Gibson if we ever find ourselves in an unwanted situation again.

Extremely Knowledgeable With The Law & Conducts A Benevolent Attitude

I hired Paul Ferder for various reasons regarding a long list of criminal driving charges and a felony assault charge that was ultimately dropped to a misdemeanor harassment to top it off. When I hired Paul, I didn’t realize that I was getting a package deal. The best package deal. Matt represented m...e a number of times in court and his knowledge of the law and my case was exquisite. The communication these guys had with each other was outstanding. Matt made me feel so relaxed and safe when I had to stand before the judge with my “victim” in the court room. I was a nervous wreck. His input on my case was exactly what I needed to feel confident I had made the right choice to hire Paul and his team. Matt studied my case closely and ultimately he is the one to thank for pushing to drop the felony assault charge down to a misdemeanor harassment. He was extremely well spoken with his knowledge of the law and the compassion he exalted towards me and my case left me with no choice to say that it is my pleasure to give him my highest recommendation for the services he provides. I am beyond grateful for what he did for me.

Blessed to have him as our attorney!

This attorney stepped into our case midway through the proceedings and he did an excellent job. He was very helpful about keeping me informed throughout everything and he really invested his energy and care and concern with our case. He absolutely gave us more than his 100% best. Thank you Matthew S.... Gipson

Honest, Reliable, Knowledgeable, and compassionate.

After going through two horrible Attorny one public defender and another Attorny that has no ethical compass. I was referred to Matt Gibsons office. From the first phone call with Matt I could feel a change in how I was going to be defended. I was no longer just the criminal that should just be happy... with whatever deal I get, I finally had an Attorny that was not going to settle for a bad deal. And Matt could tell the offers that I where being offered were not good. Matt takes the time to get to know his clients. And really focuses on their needs and shows them the compassion that is needed during this difficult time in their life. I would say that the law firm that Matt works for is very client focus I don’t feel just like a dollar sign I felt like they really cared about how my case turned out. Multiple times Matt talked about how he got input from other Attorny in the office this also made me feel like I was getting the best advice. I would recommend Matt Gibson as an Attorny as well as the firm he works at the office works as a team so you are getting the very best salem has to office if you choose Ferder Casebeer, French, and Stein law firm Matt Gibson is the very best the firm has to offer.

Amazing Attorney

I recently got a DUII and was assigned a court appointed attorney who told me I should take a plea deal and proceeded to tell me that there was nothing more he could do for me. This was even before getting the police report and going over what happened. I then realized there was no way I was going to... go to court without a lawyer who I could believe in and would do anything to fight for my case. I was facing 90 days jail and losing my license for 10 years which was terrifying. So I then went to Paul Ferder's office and got assigned Matthew Gipson and they went through every detail in my report and Matthew spotted a legal issue. He then filed a motion to suppress and took the evidence to court. I knew it was going to be a long shot to go up against a cop in court, but Matthew exceeded my expectations and won my case and got it dismissed. Thanks to him and believing in my case and willing to do everything he can to fight for me, I will now be home for Christmas with my adorable son. I will be referring Matthew to every person with any kind of legal issue cause he truly does care and will go through every detail to help someone. He is by far the best attorney I've ever had. Thank you for everything Matthew!
