Matthew G McHenry

Matthew McHenry and Michael Levine represented me in a criminal appeal. I had been in the system for several years before retaining them to work on my behalf. They fought hard, and I got my first successful outcome. A lot of attorneys have experience, some have compassion, some work hard, but these g...entlemen (Esquires) have all three attributes. You cannot do much better than Matthew McHenry and Michael Levine, but you can do much worse! I would not hestitate to recommend Matthew McHenry to anyone needing top-notch representation, and I have recommended people in the past. I know when you are facing a criminal charge and needing to hire a lawyer, you have many options and choices to make, but honestly, there is no other decision more important than the attorney you retain to be your advocate. You will never regret your decision to hire Matthew McHenry and/or Michael Levine. Great attorneys. Great people. They care what happens to you and the same cannot be said of many lawyers.

I hired Matthew McHenry for a felony, criminal defense case after consulting with four other attorneys. I was facing perhaps one of the most difficult times in my life since I had no criminal history and was led to believe by my previous attorney that everything was going to be fine. Upon meeti...ng Matt, his calm and confident manner along with his extensive legal knowledge plus his professional demeanor made the decision to hire him easier. He quickly inspired my confidence when he educated me on the complex legal components of my case while treating me with the utmost respect and patience when I did not understand certain aspects of the case. I was impressed at how quickly he took matters over, I retained him in the late afternoon, by the next morning, I was already appearing in court, he understood what needed to be done and expeditiously set things in motion. Matt and his team were very conscientious about their work; they were responsive to my needs, they always made themselves available to answer all of my questions before and after any court appearances. The fact that Matt and his staff were also very proficient in handling the social media aspect of today's criminal cases was very reassuring. The level of expertise that I experienced at Matt's office makes all the difference between hiring a good attorney and weighing the cost factors. For all of the work that he did and continues to do on my behalf, it was worth the more than fair price I paid for the quality of representation that I have received. I knew that I made the right choice when he demonstrated his experience in negotiating both with the DA and the judge in this case which resulted in a favorable outcome for me considering what I was facing. In addition to his top notch negotiation skills, his thorough analysis of my case, his tireless efforts to find other option of defense including noticing all of the details that my previous attorney and all the other attorneys that I had consulted with missed, contributed to this favorable outcome. Matt was very instrumental in my decision to seek and receive mental health therapy to help me deal with everything that was happening; he became my advocate as I was going through the legal process of the case. Matt is truly a compassionate person, he has made a profound difference in my life by the use of all of his available resources and assisting me along the way with his wise counsel and guidance. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who finds themselves in need of an excellent defense attorney. Thank you Matt for the enthusiasm you have for your work, your legal mind and your desire to truly help your clients.

Mr. McHenry represents me on appeal from a criminal conviction where I was faslely accused and wrongfully convicted in state court. He has demonstrated a strong sense of justice and a keen awareness of the stakes involved in handling serious criminal charges. He not only understand the legal ramifica...tions of my case, but also the personal ones. He reviewed my case in a thorough and complete manner, ensuring that my best case would be presented to the court. I could not ask for more. It was obvious that he had a solid grasp of the law and how it applied to my case.

I would recommend Matt McHenry in a heartbeat. Being from Canada and desperately needing a top-notch criminal attorney in Oregon was a daunting task. I consulted Canadian lawyers for recommendations, researched qualifications and drove to Portland to conduct several face-to-face interviews. I did ...my homework and had a full page of questions prepared for the meetings I had scheduled with various lawyers. It was apparent from our very first meeting that Matt was the only lawyer I would entrust with my son’s case and our family’s future. I felt very confident that Matt was the man who would give our case the care and attention required for the very best possible outcome. I wasn’t wrong. Our case was intense and fairly unique as we were also dealing with immigration issues. Matt did not hesitate to tackle every curveball that was thrown his way. Matt was proactive and thorough in his research and handling of our case. Matt made himself available to answer our questions and keep us informed and updated on a regular basis. While quality lawyer fees can be costly, after reviewing and researching several firms, I found Matt’s rates to be very reasonable for the quality of services provided. I’m not sure how to say this, but he’s worth his weight in gold, and then some! I can say without hesitation that regardless of the outcome, I knew that Matt would give us his very best. I am tearfully grateful and very pleased to say that Matt’s hard work and dedication to our son’s case has made it possible for our son to have a future. Our son will be able to come home to be with his own family, to see his children grow up. Matt gave us a future and for that, we are eternally grateful. I can’t say enough good things about Matt McHenry, he has been our Godsend. Thank you Matt, from the bottom of our hearts.
