Criminal Defense For the Pacific Northwest

Clients

What people are saying.

In this day and age, an individual can make any accusation against you and it becomes your responsibility to prove your innocence. After a generous consultation with Matthew, I was certain he was the one who would not only find the truth of the matter, but he would prove it in court. Matthew went above and beyond with his research. He dug to find facts. He would call with questions, and he would promptly return calls asap. While my life was temporarily turned upside down, Matthew quickly put a stop to the frivolous allegations against me. I’m sorry I had to meet Matthew under the circumstances that I did, but I’m glad I met him. Many thanks

I hired Matthew to defend me when I was charged with a felony, Had I been convicted, or even if it had gone to trial, I would have certainly lost my job. Matthew worked with the prosecuting attorney and was quickly able to have the charges dismissed as long as I agreed to do some community service work. Matthew was available to answer any questions I had during this process, and also took the time to contact me when he had any new information regarding my case. I was very pleased with the work he did on my behalf.

Matthew not only came highly regarded amongst his peers and clients, but he has continuously exceeded his reputation. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience as his client. I came to Matthew during an extremely confusing, stressful, and difficult time in my life. In just one call, Matthew provided me with advice I could act on. I knew things were going to turn around by the end of that call. Matthew has effectively navigated my highly complex legal situation with an unprecedented amount of ingenuity and skill. I consider myself lucky to have have this titan in my corner.
