Posted by David | October 05, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

September 2015

Matthew has acted on our behalf twice now: 1 DUI and 1 DWSL. He did a great job handling both cases. He explained clearly what we were to expect and what our choices would be. Both cases resulted in the best possible outcomes. He responded every time we needed a response. His rates and terms were fai...r. A+ job.

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.
