Exceptional services and advice.

Matthew has been my lawyer for 5 years and has provided exceptional service throughout that time. He and his associates have always been highly responsive and helpful to any question or query I had. Even when Matthew wasn't hired directly for his services he was still willing to help me solve and iss...ues I had with my immigration process. I would happily recommend him to others.

The best

I was arrested on DUI charges and I when I met with Matt I was completely ashamed of what I had done not to mention scared out of my mind. During the whole process Matt kept me updated and represented me when I didn't have to be there. Whenever I had questions about the process or what was going on w...ith my case Matt was there for me, I was able to get Matt on the phone and talk to him personally. Matt was such an incredible lawyer for me I am in debt to him not only were my charges dropped but I went through the whole process with somebody that I was comfortable with which I think is a huge part of the legal process. Matt and Molly Kincaid were incredible they made the process so easy and so stress-free to be completely honest I hope I never have to see them again but if I have to I know I will be in great hands. I highly recommend Matt to anyone not only for criminal cases but the way he is I can see why he chose immigration as his specialty he is there for the people and he's there for you, he treats you like a person not just another dollar. I can't say thank you enough for the way of it Matt and Molly worked with me and handle my case all I can say is they were just incredible.

Fantastic Lawyer

Matthew came highly recommended from a family friend and I am so glad that I took that advice. Matt was an incredible lawyer throughout every step of my case. He communicated the situation and kept me updated so I knew exactly what was going in the system. Not only that but he was extremely effective... in the courtroom and my case was dismissed. I could not be happier with the results.

Honest and Efficient

Matthew Green was the defense lawyer to my brother who was involved in a serious criminal case. Matthew treated my brother with a high level of integrity and respect. Matthew was diligent in providing constant thorough explanations and updates to my brother on a consistent basis. Matthew went out ...of his way to consult colleagues when necessary. He spent countless hours advocating for my brother and conducted himself with high professionalism. Matthew ensured each court occurrence was impartial and fair. My brother received the best outcome considering the circumstances. Several years later I found myself in a situation that required legal assistance. Without hesitation I turned to Matthew for guidance. He provided me with the same professionalism, provided me with sufficient communication to point me in the right direction and never judged me. Because of Matthew’s support I have been able to overcome this minor roadblock successfully.

The most amazing lawyer in Tucson.

Mr. Green is in an entire class of his own. I had met with several lawyers to help with my DUI case prior to meeting with Matt. He was professional, courteous, attentive, and truly cared to help me in any way possible. I left that meeting hiring him immediately without hesitation. He fought for m...e, told me what I needed to do, and explained the process of steps I needed to take to the T. All my charges got dismissed and he is the sole reason why my life is in a great place now. I will definitely recommend him to anyone that falls into the same situation I went through. Best lawyer in town, hands down.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Matt and worked with him on multiple criminal matters for many years. I routinely refer criminal and immigration cases to him because he is deeply intelligent, extraordinarily skilled, a ridiculously hard worker and also kind to his clients. He regularly faces down police and prosecutors, lets judges know he is not afraid to file interlocutory appeals of their improper decisions and he also has the highest ethics. You won't go wrong hiring Matt."

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Matthew for close to 15-years. We were on the opposite side of cases when we began our careers and have maintained our relationship ever since. I have referred him many cases over the years, including my own family members. I cannot think of many better criminal and immigration lawyers in Arizona. Matthew is one of the few lawyers in Arizona who truly understands the nuances of defending an immigrant in both criminal and immigration court. He is an exceptional litigator who can represent a client in any court in the state and he does not shy away from taking on the system to protect his clients' rights. I highly endorse Matt."

"I have known Mr. Green for more than a decade and a half as a friend, colleague, and co-counsel on a number of legal matters. In addition to his honesty and integrity, I have the greatest respect for Mr. Green as an outstanding immigration attorney. Unlike most immigration attorneys, Mr. Green is an extremely experienced and skilled trial attorney who has successfully presented a large number of matters to juries and judges in courtrooms and hearing offices all over the state. Similarly, Mr. Green has exceptional knowledge and experience in handling criminal law issues that can affect an immigration case---knowledge and experience that many other immigration attorneys simply do not possess. Whenever I have an immigration related legal issue that I need to address, I call Mr. Green."
