Excellent and respectful attorney

I recently hired Matt for a contempt issue, and he handled everything very professionally. He answered my questions thoroughly, but also managed to explain things so I understood without ever talking down to me. In the courtroom, he helped me feel confident and comfortable. He was respectful to th...e opposing party, and helped me understand how I was supposed to act in the court room even though it was an emotional situation. The opposing party was asking for jail time for me, and fortunately Matt's knowledge of the law and effective arguments in my defense prevented that. I don't doubt that without him there, things would have gone very poorly for me. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Great to work with

Matt is not just a capable attorney but also a very personable guy. I really appreciate how he personally cared about my situation and wanted to work to find a just legal solution. Through his diligent investigation and ability to find a qualified expert, we were able to win my case in court. His pub...lic speaking skills and down-to-earth personality also helped both in and outside of the courtroom. Overall, I would highly recommend Mr.Patton and the other attorneys at Folkestad and Fazekas.

EXCEPTIONAL LAWYER

Matt was exceptional in handling my child custody case. He is extremely knowledgeable and an experienced attorney. Matt and his team were very responsive and thorough while handling my case. He is very passionate about what he does and it shows through his work and personality. Matt helped me mai...ntain full custody and full decision making of my child. I was also awarded all my attorney fees. I would highly recommend Matt and his team. He exceeded my expectations.

He restores your faith in the legal profession

Simply put, Matthew Patton will not only contradict every derogatory lawyer joke you have ever heard, but will restore your faith in the legal profession. In addition to being very personable and engaging, he has a broad range of experience. Matt has been a Deputy Sheriff, an Assistant District Att...orney, a Supervising District Attorney and clerked for a County Judge before entering private practice. Moreover, he has a high degree of integrity. For example, he always has the client's best interests foremost in thought, including his billable time. In other words, Matt remains conscious of and sensitive to the client's financial situation and diligently attempts to avoid unnecessary costs, while still providing excellent representation. Having enlisted the services of a number of other attorneys over my many years in business, this is a refreshing change and one which contributes to easing the discomfort in what could otherwise be a very unpleasant experience which was completely unexpected. For these and several other reasons, I would highly recommend Matthew Patton for anyone's legal proceedings.

I Highly Recommend

Matt is a amazing attorney. Had a DMV hearing to have my license suspended for up to a year, but with the help of Matt I only got my license taken away for one day. He does everything he can to help you and will not beat around the bush about things. He will be honest with you about what all good and... bad outcomes will be. I highly recommend Matt Patton as your attorney.
