DWI, Appeals, and PND

I was introduced to Matt Deluca by Carmen Roe who brought him into the legal team during my appeals process for a DWI conviction. Since then, I have retained Matt as my attorney for various other legal issues including a petition for nondisclosure (PND) which was recently approved by the court. If yo...u ever face such legal issues and need a reliable and trustworthy defense attorney, I would highly recommend that you consult and hire Matt to represent you. He will act in your best interests and provide you peace of mind by keeping you informed and guiding you through the most complex legal issues. I am very grateful to Matt for his expertise and service.

Awe Inspiring Work That Secured a Bright Future for Me!!!

Mr.Deluca was absolutely amazing!!!! Watching him work was an awe inspiring thing. I got a “major traffic charge” a few years back and he successfully got my entire case dismissed despite damning evidence and (regretful and uncharacteristic) damning on camera behavior. This man made it look easy ...and was super patient the entire time. To make this review even more useful, I should include that Matt was my second lawyer on this case. The first was pretty bad and did nothing but check boxes and push papers around. I think she thought myself and my family were far less informed, involved and on top of things than we were. She seemed in over her head and like a deer in headlights when we called for regrouping meetings on more than one occasion and had detailed questions to ask. When a friend ultimately showed me how few request for evidence, footage, documents etc she pulled (attorneys can see items pulled on potential clients from the state on some sort of database) from the state I saw that in 6-8 whole months after the incident she had pulled ONLY THREE ITEMS!!!! 1-2 of them downright required to represent me. Firing her and then finding/hiring Matt was beyond a night and day difference!!! He pulled mounds of evidence and I eventually got to see so much of it right on display as I sat next to him as he downright embarrassed the prosecution team and the arresting officers when my trial finally came to bare (actually, it was a hearing to suppress evidence that he called). Matt “won” that hearing!!!! He successfully got all evidence suppressed!! The prosecution team had no choice but to drop the entire case just days later!! Thanks Mr.DeLuca!!! I have a more secure and brighter future due to your hard skilled work!!!!

Professionalism in a stressful situation.

This is my first experience with the court system, and I was afraid. My angst would rise with every step of the process, but would calm through understanding of the sequence of events. Matt is thorough and patient. He took the time to not only go through the details, but also explain them. I chose t...o make payments at his office as opposed to online, and while I was there he would review the case with me, regardless if changes had been made. I had been warned by family and friends of the repercussions to come, so I was delighted when Matt managed most, if not all, of my concerns. My concerns of payment, my license, convictions, jail time. Even before being hired, he offered advise on what to look for and how to go about it. Matt was even so kind as to advise me on an unrelated family concern, given my lack of knowledge of the system. The amount of comfort I’ve felt through this process is a surprise to others I’ve talked to. My case is now well on its way to being dismissed. I am more than satisfied with the services of Matt DeLuca.

He saved me!

I hired him for my case. He completely did what he said he would! Thanks to him I can have a normal life. My one mistake didn’t ruin everything for me. Sometimes it just takes one mistake, and Mr. Deluca made sure that didn’t define me. HIRE HIM!

Great representation

Matt was the first counsel I contacted about my case. He told me the truth up front, and followed my case through until it was ultimately dismissed, exactly as Matt assured me it would be. Of course these things are never as open and shut as one would hope, with variables lying outside your control. ...Matt provided everything you could hope for in defense counsel: answered every call, reliable counsel, and top quality representation in the legal system. Keeping Matt on retainer tor the entirety of my case was the best choice I made during my defense. My case as resolved exactly as I had hoped, and hopefully yours will be too.
