EXCELLENT CRIMINAL DEFENCE ATTORNEY

A good attorney makes all the difference. And Matthew is an excellent attorney. I was charged with 7 felony counts, Mr. Schwatrzstein reviewed the evidence, sought expert opinions and some how convinced the County Attorney to drop the case, which is an impossible task. I had 3 other attorneys on ...this case prior to Mr. Schwartzstein, State tried to offer me several Plea deals, 3 trial dates, 4 county attorneys. Still Mr. Schwartzstein was able to get my case dismissed. My hat is off to HIM.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
