"I truly appreciated the professionalism and reasonableness of Matthew as he worked as a prosecutor for the City of Kirkland. But I was very happy to see him join the ranks of the defense, as he is an intelligent, creative, and articulate advocate for the accused. I can count on Matt to know the inside process of prosecuting DUI's, based on his years of experience. And he has a great working relationship with judges and prosecutors throughout the county, which is due to his diligence and honesty and excellent advocacy skills. I trust his judgment and I often touch base with him to brainstorm tactics and approaches on pending matters. He is a great lawyer."

In the yeaars that he has worked with us we were not only not disappointed. Matt went far beyond our expectations and our hope. If I were to pick the most important asset he has brought to our firm it is his creativity, both in litigation but in recognizing and articulating legal issues. We are proud to have him practicing with us."

"I have known Matthew for years as he prosecuted misdemeanor cases for the cities of Bothell, Lynnwood and Kirkland. Matthew was a very good prosecutor in that he was able to balance what the law was and what the right outcome should be in any given case. These are traits that will make him a great defense attorney. He had very good command of the law and the courtroom as a prosecutor. Having joined one of the premier DUI firms our state has to offer, I expect that he will continue to have such command from the defense side. I would recommend Matthew without hesitation."
