Very pleased with Matt Jefferson!

My family hired Matt to represent us in an Injunction Against Harassment hearing. My daughter was threatened & Matt was sure to do everything in his power in order to keep the order upheld. He was invested & dedicated to our case. He was very personable & nice, & worked so well with our daughter. He ...also was very easy to reach. Any time I had a question or concern, he was there with a prompt answer. Overall, we were extremely pleased with Matt & highly recommend him!

A Great day in court

I recently was involved in a court case where I was the plaintiff. I retained Matthew just a week before my court date. He spent time with me by phone telling me how to get my notes and timeline together so he could review. He took time and prepared me for an hour before I was to be in front of the j...udge. Everything went as he planned, I won my day in court.

Civil Traffic

I hired Matt to represent me in a civil traffic case regarding my class A CDL license. Matt thoroughly prepared my case and kept me informed thru the whole process. He was able to navigate the court restrictions, due to Covid 19 and get my case heard in person with a judge. I highly recommend Matt... to anyone needing legal assistance.

My hero

My case turned out to be two cases the first case all charges dropped at about a year later the state of arizona picked up the case, I was afraid not so much of the trumped up charges of the case or even the case.what was I worried about ? was schill law going to charge me another fee and treat this... second case as a new one and caust me double? Hell no Matthew took on this case also , no discussion of any extra costs , he amazingly got 2 DV charges dropped

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.
