A Real Attorney for the working man

I ran a successful marijuana business for a decade in Colorado and Matthew Buck was the attorney that helped me the most and I've had them all. I never felt cheated with him he was direct in what he charged and could accomplish for me and he proved time and time again his effectiveness for my busines...s even in the face of absolute certainty that the state wanted to steam roll us into nothing. I am proud that there are good attorneys in this state that will fight to help the little guy still. I wish you the best with your business Mr Buck -J

Beware!!! Matt Buck is the WORST attorney in Denver.

Matt Buck is the epitome of a clown. Reckless and incompetent. His website is capo de regime. Jesus! The biggest mistake of my life (more so than getting arrested) was hiring this clown. I literally could have defended myself and ended up with a better outcome. Even the public defender who he knew w...as surprised by how bad a deal I was given. Tread lightly and stay far away from this disaster of an Attorney. Look up his history and past law firm, that will tell you all you need to know about t his vile creature.

Arrogant and Rude Cares More about his Hourly Wage

Matt is completely arrogant and rude and is more concerned about his Retainer and his hourly wage than helping people and will waste hours of your time over the phone and emails and he will demand hours of your time without agreeing to Represent you, as he wants the easiest cases possible in which he... can charge the most for his time and demanded multiple thousands of dollars up front before he even begins to work on your case. There are 100's of other Attorneys in Colorado more competent and less arrogant and care about the law and your rights vs his Hourly and Retainer, in our experience he would have been ridiculously overpriced.

Free consultation

I've contacted Matt over a criminal situation that was just never ending, he gave me free advice assisting me with the case multiple phone calls and still said to call him him if I needed anything. He didn't turn down my case, but said that for the type of case I would likely be offered a pretty good... deal for my circumstances and hiring him would just be an extra burden. He did say if anything happened to give him a call or if something weird happens in court that he will take my case no problem. It is refreshing to be able to talk directly to an attorney and not be transferred from secretary to paralegal to voicemail and to be given good advice for free. While I may not need him this time, if anything in the future comes up I would retain him. I would also recommend him to friends and family for any criminal matters.

A very bad experience

I hired him for a simple thing. He was late. He was sloppy. He was incredibly condescending to everyone. Every document had tons of spelling errors and mistakes. If you google him you find a lot of troubling information about him. I would not recommend this attorney.
