About Jason
Biography
Criminal defense is my art and craft. I have handled many criminal defense cases ranging from small misdemeanors to Violent Class A Felonies like Aggravated Robbery Acting in Concert and Attempted Murder. My clients have been so content with the negotiated settlements, dismissals, and nolle prosequi I've obtained on their cases that 100% of them have decided that they did not need or want to have a trial. In the poverty stricken city now rated by Forbes as America's second most violent city, I strive to provide Criminal Defense services at affordable flat fixed rates.

True Experience
I wouldn’t recommend Attorney Jason Matthews for my case; especially if your freedom is on the line. This man was playing it cool until it got real. When it was actually time to do some real work on the cases, he was exposed. He told me and I quote, “I didn’t become a lawyer to fight hard cases, I be...
