Excellent Attorney

We hired Matt when my youngest son got in legal trouble. Matt is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He walked us through the bail process, met with us promptly once my son was released, and then worked tirelessly for over a year to get the absolute best possible resolution to my son's case. H...e never gave up, negotiated the absolute best resolution we could hope for, and the Judge made sure to point out to us just how dogged Matt had been while working on our behalf. Matt is blunt and doesn't sugar coat things but he always answered our questions and made sure we knew what was happening with the case(s). If you need a criminal attorney, you will be in good, competent hands with Matt.

Mr Jorge M. Parra

Matt made me feel welcome answering my questions even when they weren’t particularly related nor pertinent to my case, he always consulted with me whether I agreed to pay the fines so I wouldn’t have to travel back to Houston (we moved to Florida in April 2022) he even allowed me to apologize to the ...judge (a very friendly and nice lady judge) for my transgressions, a true gentleman and a scholar, I’ll recommend him anytime.

Smart and confident and no beating around the bush

I met Matt 17 years ago and quickly realized I had hired the best to represent me. Matt is an excellent lawyer, he was always involved and walked me through the entire process. He is straight to the point and doesn't make any false promises. Matt worked very hard for me which put me at ease during... a very stressful situation. Recently, my old case came up on a back ground check. I contacted Matt and he remembered every detail of my case and and helped me get a non disclosure. I’m very thankful for him and the work he does. He is highly knowledgeable and professional. Hopefully I’ll never need another attorney, but if I do, I wouldn’t use anyone else. I highly recommend him to anyone that’s in need. Thank you Matt.

Saved my professional career!

Matt is an astounding lawyer! I was blessed to have him represent me. Matt had an initial conversation with me, gave me detailed explanations of what I was up against and never once sugarcoated or overpromised. His honesty, integrity and attention to details are beyond belief. Anytime I would call Ma...tt, it was like he knew what I was calling about! He gathered all the facts regarding the case and was able to get my case 100% DISMISSED! He was the first attorney in the room and first one out. He spent a lot of time on my case and I always felt confident because of him. When Matt handed me the paper, the emotions of this case finally being done, the burden of my future being severely compromised completely lifted off my shoulders. He saved my future and never once doubted me! I gave him a hug at the end and he told me that I could finally sleep well. That I did, Matt! If anyone has any questions about my experience with Matt, please do not hesitate to reach out. Trust me when I say Matt has the potential to make the absolute best out of your case, no matter what you are against.
