About Matthew
Biography
I have wanted to be a trial attorney since law school when I competed in moot court and loved arguing against others. Now, when my clients are faced with very serious consequences I rely upon my 26 years of criminal law experience in defending them to the best of my ability. I am ultra-competitive and will always be the most prepared attorney in the courtroom. That's what you need in an effective defense attorney.
If you've been charged with a crime, call Matt Martin. A specialist in criminal defense and DUI.
I'm an experienced defense attorney who can successfully defend you from false allegations.
I have been handling DUI cases for 18 years and have the ability to win your case!
