Excellent

We have used Mr. Gossen for several of our traffic violations over the last several years and every time he is quick and handles the situations better than I could have asked for. He is definitely our go-to attorney for our future needs and would recommend any friends or family to him as well!

Another Win!

I am extremely pleased with Matthew Gossen. He is a very practical and straight forward person. My consultation with him was enough to want to hire him. I do so immediately! The misdemeanor I was facing was going to inevitably cost me community service, defensive driving courses, and most inconvenien...t of all… six months of probation. Matthew advised me to complete an aggressive driving course and donate my community service prior to our scheduled court date. Along the way he contacted me several times with new or changing information regarding my case and or his plan of action via E-mail, phone, and text. Mr. Gossens plan was to request a one day probation considering I had taken care of my obligations and was willing to pay any fees required, immediately. This was a huge request since I had a prior offence. He spoke to the judge in a manner that presented me in a good light and the judge approved the one day probation. I paid my dues to the court and I was able to walk away with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. One would hope to never call on Mr. Gossens service again, but if the need arises I wouldn’t think twice. Thank you very much Mr. Gossen

Very Satisfied Client

I was very satisfied with the work he did with my traffic ticket. I value my driver licence very much, it's how I make my living. Mr. Gossen got right on the ball, letting me know everything that was going on, what to expect and was great at keeping in contact from beginning to end. I would highly r...ecommend him to anyone and me myself would definitely retain his services again if needed.

An efficient attorney

I have used Mr. Gossen twice now for speeding tickets , and I have found him to extremely efficient in taking care of my case. In both circumstances he ensured that I did not have to do defensive driving and got both of my tickets dismissed. He did this while keeping me informed at all times about ...the progress of my case to the point that I never even had to call him about it. I recommend him highly to anyone who has a legal need like mine.

"I have worked with Matthew on several different cases over the years and his knowledge of the law and skill in the courtroom continue to impress me. Most importantly though, he has the invaluable skill of being able to genuinely connect with jurors on a level that puts him at a distinct advantage above other attorneys, defense attorneys and prosecutors alike. He is someone that is a true advocate for his clients, not someone trying to make a quick buck. I would whole heartedlly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney for a criminal defense case."
