This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Outstanding Attorney

I had Mattson Smith for 2 cases. He is very hard working, reliable and dedicated to his clients. Both turned out well. Although young, he's extremely knowledgeable, and has useful experience.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A Born Defender

Mattson has a brilliant legal mind. He presently has two of my cases; one from Jefferson County and one in the city of Denver. For thirty-three years I've been in the criminal justice system as a serial defendant and Mattson has demonstrated high integrity, dogged determination, excellent perception/...observation skills, and he can be thoroughly trusted keep confidentiality and to do his best in my defense time and time again. I can be a demanding client who's learned long ago that the defendant needs a good attorney to receive a good jury verdict and Mattson certainly rises to that level and above. Unfortunately, Mattson has a poor sense of fashion: he thinks his Charlie Chaplin bow tie is a chic magnet.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I consulted with Mattson on a complex week-long trial. He succinctly and thoroughly explained the highly technical theory of defense in the case, which was key for crafting client-focused jury instructions and creating a record for appeal. He argued difficult issues successfully in the courtroom, and I learned through my work with him that he is a passionate, knowledgeable, and conscientious advocate for his clients."
