Matt got an excellent result in my case. He got my felony case dismissed! Nothing on my record, no jail, no probation. He kept me informed of things along the way and did an excellent job advocating for me. I would highly recommend Matt Kaestner to anyone facing criminal charges.

I met attorney Matt Kaestner in January of 2000. I had just been arrested and charged with murder. The first thing Mr. Kaestner said when he introduced himself was that he had some good news and some bad news. He said the bad news was that I was being charged with murder. He said the good news was t...

"I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a true fighter for his clients. He does not "roll over" to the DA and this makes him one of the best!"
"I believe Matthew Kaestner is one of the most effective and diligent attorneys in the criminal defense bar. I am an appellate attorney and have had the opportunity to review transcripts of dozens of defense attorneys- Mr. Kaestner consistently provides top quality legal representation for his clients."

Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1991
updated on 12/02/2018Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“This reproval was the result of a misdemeanor "harassment" conviction attorney Kaesnter suffered in Oregon concerning an incident that occurred in 1987 involving a personal child custody dispute. Not sure why the state bar or Avvo consider it important. It DID NOT involve a client or the practice of law.”
