Dismissal achieved

Matt treated me like a person while being careful not to give me false hopes. As such, in the end, he secured a better outcome for me than I ever would have thought likely. I’m coming away from this feeling indebted to him for the result he achieved on my behalf. Matt lives up to his reputation. ...I’m sure not every case will be dismissed, but if you’re his client, you can know he’s going to work hard for you.

Great lawyer!!

Matt Fass is an exceptional attorney. He kept me updated with all information regarding my case. He was very thorough and made me feel comfortable in our first encounter. He was able to get the charges that were filed against me dropped. Now, I have no criminal record.

Matt Fass

Iwon't lie, I had called another Law Firm about a DUI, they did not answer so second on my list was Matt. He answered the phone and I had a meeting the next day. All I can say is, I'm glad the first Law Firm never answered. Matt is professional, honest and sincere, something you don't find much in... a lawyer. Matt handled my case, kept me up to date and never went to trial and Matt got my case dismissed. If you need a great attorney, that is truly working for you and has you're best interest, call Matt!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Matt Fass if you need a criminal defense attorney in Harris County or the surrounding area. Matt is a former felony prosecutor with the Wichita County District Attorney's office and a former prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's office. If you've been charged with a crime, he knows what you're up against because he spent years trying cases for the State of Texas. If one of my friends or family members needed help in or around Houston, I would not hesitate to send them to Matt."

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.
