Justice Was Served!

After suffering through a domestic violence case I was accused of by an ex girlfriend. I was fortunately able to get my case dismissed due to false accusations. My ex girlfriend continued to pursue a restraining order against me that I strongly did not agree with shortly after. I contacted attorney R...oy and he was able to represent me right away. He was able to quickly meet with me to gather all the evidence and information he needed and in no time in court fighting aggressively for me. He fought the case like his life depended on it and his experience was able to reveal the lies and made up stories that my ex girlfriend made up about me. In the end, JUSTICE WAS SERVED and I was very happy with the outcome!!!

Upfront and Honest. Fantastic Attorney.

I had been going through a really hard time with life and started in a downward spiral because of my excessive drinking. I had no criminal record and was completely new to the legal system. I got into some legal trouble with a few DUIs and a vandalism charge which was handled by the Public Defenders ...office at first. After the original sentencing, I was in a minor legal battle about the vandalism charge and also in unknowingly had a bench warrant. I had lost my job in the midst of all my legal trouble and had just gotten a new job I was unqualified for. Had I been arrested and detained on the bench warrant, I probably would have been fired from my new job (this is the last thing I needed while trying to get sober.) Matt was a godsend during this time and knew he was the right attorney for me as soon as I met him. I interviewed 5 attorneys total. With Matt, the final result was that everything got cleared up and taken care of and I was able to continue with my life. It may sound minor by just reading this statement but the truth was it was the beginning of me getting to start over and he played a large part in that.

Simply the Best!

I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided to me by the Roy Offices Law Firm. During the legal proceedings, Mr. Roy listened and absorbed details of my case and my opinion and then made convincing recommendations and decisions. In court, Mr. Roy was a tremendous help... for me while addressing the intricacies of my case which resulted in expeditious and consensual resolution. Matthew Roy is one of the shining examples of professional, caring and knowledgeable attorneys. He listened, advocated and kept me informed throughout the proceedings of my case. I am very pleased with the quality, responsiveness and extensive legal expertise of Matthew Roy Matthew never treated me simply as a client. He treated me like a human being who was going through a hard time. He is genuinely concerned about his clients. On a personal note, I really enjoyed working with Matthew I could not be more satisfied. The Law Office of Matthew Roy was impressive and excellent! Great Results! Thank you, Diane Lally

Wonderful Attorney!

Matthew Roy was speedy in his response from my call to his office. He listened to me, informed me of his consultation fees and was able to schedule me in quickly. He was able to see the RO filed against me was done so in bad faith. Not only was the petitioner request denied, but the Judge entered a j...udgement for my legal fees to be paid by the petitioner. Matthew is a wonderfully talented attorney who I would highly recommend. I usually do not write reviews but I must say, when it comes to Matthew Roy, 5 Stars is not enough!

Posted by Carlos | April 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Very Pleased!

Mr. Roy was nothing but professional and knowledgeable about my case. You often hear that lawyers can be scum bags and money hungry, but Mr. Roy was none of the above. He was on top of my case and always kept me on point in regards to billing. Not only did he deliver, but he kept me informed at all t...imes which I really appreciated - especially when at tough times I had no where to turn. I’m truly happy with the service and outcome he delivered. Nonetheless, he’s super informative and talked me through every stage of the case step by step - which I greatly appreciated. I can say I’m truly happy and would recommend him to anyone that was going through a similar situation as mine.

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.
