Matt is amazing

I received a speeding and possession for marijuana tickets recently. Mr. Meyer was able to help keep me out of the court room and keep my ticket to a minimum. He was knowledgeable, honest, straight forward, and respectful. I would recommend Matt for my next lawyer anytime. Thank you Matt!

Posted by Vincent | April 29, 2013 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Traffic Violation/Speeding

Matt represented me when I received a traffic citation. Matt was able to get the points reduced by half and the violation changed from speeding to a speedometer violation. Also, Matt was able to keep the fine from being increased. I didn't have to worry about anything with Matt as my attorney and... the price was very affordable.
