About Matthew
Biography
Since 2007, I have practiced exclusively in the area of criminal defense. I have never prosecuted another human being, nor would I ever want to do that. Instead, I have spent my entire legal career zealously representing hundreds of clients in matters ranging from misdemeanor DUI cases to homicides and complex white collar investigations at every stage of proceedings from pre-charging to appeals and petitions for post-conviction relief. I have achieved not guilty verdicts in cases ranging from drug offenses and felony flight to violent crimes and dangerous crimes against children. I have also successfully achieved dismissals in cases involving drug crimes, sex crimes, white collar crimes, conspiracy, aggravated assault, and various violent offenses. I pride myself not just on my legal abilities and desire to help my clients, but also on my availability. I provide every single client with my cell number and promptly return all calls, texts, and emails. You are welcome to call me directly at if you think I might be able to help you in any way.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Unethical, Very Slow, and Unnecessarily Dilatory
Mr. Brown did not properly or ethically handle my Rule 32.1, Petition for Post-Conviction Relief. Mr. Brown took 9 long dilatory months to file my Petition for Post-Conviction Relief and failed to file a Reply to the Prosecutor’s false statements in the states response. In fact, Mr. Brown failed to f...

Replied last June 25, 2019Would you please let me know who you are? This is the third time you have posted this, and I am certain you have confused me with another lawyer. I maintain a very small caseload, and none of these things happened in any of the post-conviction relief cases I have handled.
Matthew O Brown's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Brown is a true asset to our community and an advocate for his clients."
"I met Matt when I was a law student volunteering at a homeless shelter. He graciously gave his time to those who needed it most. What stood out to me most was Matt’s down-to-earth personality. He truly made clients feel special, valued, and at ease. Matt is one of the most knowledgeable and creative attorneys that I know. He is a mentor, a friend, and an incredible lawyer. I frequently call him for advice and I frequently read his legal blogs. If I ever needed a criminal defense lawyer, Matt would be one of the few people that I would trust to defend me."
"Matt is one of the brightest, hardest working, tenacious criminal defense lawyers I know. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Brown is of the highest caliber of defense attorneys. His attention to detail is second to none. He is tireless in defending his clients, in ascertaining every possible legal remedy for his clients, given the situation. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"Most trust lawyers as much as communists or fellas that drink wine, but Matt is a knowledgeable gent that puts folks at ease. From his firm handshake to his enthusiastic coaching, Matt will be your North star. I'm sure that before your experience with Matt, the thought of meeting with a lawyer will be as enjoyable as enduring a kick in the bean pouch from a wild bucking bronco. Matt, however will alleviate all fears. If he wasn't a committed and loving family man, I'd try to pair him up with my daughter Geradline, who was runner up fair queen 2 years in a row. God bless America, and God bless Matt."
"I endorse Matthew. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Matt is an excellent and knowledgeable attorney who does a great job for his clients."
"I have known Matt Brown for many years and worked with him closely during that time. He is an excellent attorney, and one of the few I would have represent me if I needed an attorney. He is bright, honest and cares about his clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone; and I often have. Marc J. Victor, Esq. Marc J. Victor, P.C. 3920 South Alma School Road Suite 5 Chandler, Arizona 85248 www.AttorneyForFreedom.com"
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt has the unique combination of great skills as a lawyer, great drive to seek justice for his clients and the intelligence to put together a great defense in your case. I could not recommend a criminal defense lawyer more highly than I would recommend Matt Brown."
"I know Matt Brown to be an effective and passionate criminal defense attorney, and would highly recommend him."
"I vehemently endorse this lawyer and his firm. Matt is the most knowledgeable criminal defense attorney I know. If I, (God forbid) or a family member ever needed a criminal defense attorney in Arizona, Matt is the FIRST attorney I would refer them to without any hesitation or even a thought otherwise!"
"Matt is an excellent criminal defense attorney and I highly recommend his services when necessary to my clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a superior lawyer who is among the best at analyzing and researching legal issues. If I needed a criminal defense lawyer, I would go to Matt Brown."
"In working with Matt, I found that he is extremely professional and knowledgable. He fights hard for his clients, and leaves no stone unturned while reaching the best outcome on each case."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is a consummate professional and a very nice human being. I worked with him for more than a year at Gila River Indian Community when I was a prosecutor and he was a contract public defender and private criminal defense attorney. Like his law firm partner Adrian Little, he was always a pleasure to work with and seemed most interested in seeing justice done. He was honest and straightforward; he would just tell me what he knew and what he thought would be a reasonable plea offer. I didn't always agree with him 100 percent, but his being so laser-focused on the best possible outcome made my job easier in helping us reach an expedient and fair compromise in many cases, avoiding a lengthy, emotionally draining and time-intensive trial with a totally unpredictable result whether by judge or jury. I would recommend him without reservation to any criminal defendants needing competent, compassionate, calculated representation."
