Murder charge

I hired Mathew for my ex husband. Before hiring him I felt no hope for his case, but Matt gave us hope that he would come home. He was extremely helpful and kept us in a positive state of mind. Every time I needed answers he was there to answer any of my questions with no hesitation. I am so thankful... to Matt, with his help we was able to get him home.

Murder charge

We hired Mr. Matt Fletcher to help my son. My son was being charged with murder, Mr. Fletcher fought hard for my son and he never let up on the D.A to proof my son's innocence. Mr. Fletcher beat the murder charge and my son walked out of court that same day. Matt Fletcher is a great lawyer he will n...ot stop fighting for his clients. I recommend Matt Fletcher 100 percent. We thank you for everything you did for my son and our family. BEST LAWYER EVER

Absolutely the BEST Attorney!!

Excellent attorney. My experience with Mr. Fletcher has been amazing. I hired him twice and always from the start of the process I had confidence in him. My brother was in a difficult situation facing many years in jail in two occasions. Both times were were pleased with the outcomes; He got him out ...the first time without serving any time and the second time my brother served 90 days and was released. I am very very happy with Mr. Fletcher’s services. He is very professional, knowledgeable, communication is exceptional and cares about his clients. He is truly our hero. I thank him for the great work he did not only for my brother but for our family as well. You deserve all the stars Mr. Fletcher. May God bless you always.

Excellent Attorney, the Lord works through him

I hired Matthew Fletcher for my son's Fed case. My son was facing 12 counts of robbery which totaled up to a maximum 149 years with a minimum of 107 years. Mr. Fletcher got all but 2 counts dismissed. Those 2 convictions (22 years) are under appeal. He is currently scheduled to be released in 2034 (...15 years) From 149 to 15 excellent job.
