About Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson
A Legacy of Trust and Success
A Legacy of Trust and Success
Starting a law practice is no easy feat, especially when every detail can impact the outcome of a case. For Matthew W. Peterson, it was a journey driven by determination, empathy, and a deep sense of justice. His story is one of resilience and a steady commitment to fighting for what’s right.
In 2016, right after earning his law degree, Matthew W. Peterson was determined to make a difference. He wanted to genuinely help those caught in the tough world of law. But the path ahead wasn’t easy or clear. He had to build his own law firm from the ground up, relying on his strong will and deep compassion as his foundation.
Matthew’s passion for defending people in court wasn’t something that came easily- it was a necessity. He witnessed firsthand the struggles of those facing charges and felt compelled to give them a voice. This drive pushed him forward, even when the challenges seemed insurmountable.
In the early days, Matthew felt very alone. He didn’t have much, but a generous friend offered him an office space. There, he took a photo that symbolized his humble beginnings. The picture became a reminder of his determination, reflecting all the tough times he faced- unsure but resolute in his purpose.
This period of solitude reminded him of what his future clients would experience. It helped him understand their struggles, fueling his drive to work hard, learn criminal law, and refine his skills as a lawyer. Over time, he became more than just an attorney- he became a true advocate who deeply understood what his clients were going through.
Matthew threw himself into studying criminal law, spending countless hours researching, talking to others, and observing trials. His determination to provide top-notch defense fueled this challenging learning journey. He gained a deep understanding of courtroom procedures, defense strategies, and the hidden emotional toll that legal battles take on people.
For Matthew, it was never just about beating charges; it was about challenging a system that often overlooked the struggles of the accused. Each case became a fight not only for fairness but for the compassion that the system often missed.
Hard work and perseverance began to pay off as Matthew earned a reputation as a fierce advocate. Both clients and colleagues saw him as someone dedicated to defending his clients’ rights with strong moral principles. His honesty and work ethic earned him respect among other lawyers, and he built solid relationships with judges, peers, and clients.
Matthew’s kindness came from genuine care. He offered more than just legal help; he provided peace of mind and support. Clients knew that with Matthew, they didn’t have to face the law alone.
The Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson grew from one man’s dream into a beacon of hope for those facing legal challenges. The office offered not just legal expertise, but also the care and compassion many desperately needed. Matthew’s own moments of doubt became the driving force behind his commitment to supporting his clients every step of the way.
Each case was more than just a legal matter- it was an opportunity to make things right and transform a life. Through his work, Matthew continued the legacy of those before him, fighting for fair and equal treatment for all.

Rey TejedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 legal services. Can't recommend enough. Mr. Manchinton, went to BAT for me. He was very transparent and always kept me in the loop. He let me know all the possibilities and never gave me a sense of false hope. The whole team kept me informed on dates and time and it was overall a spectacular experience. Thanks for everything Bill! I will be calling you in the future (hopefully not :p) Manuel De PayesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Matthew is the man!! BLUF: After fighting through a 2-part, 2.5 year battle that 20 lawyers (no lie) said I’d lose, he won both my cases with dismissals! And though it was another fight, he got all my daddy’s bail money back too!! DETAILS (Worth the read): While passing through Boston on a month long motorcycle trip, I unexpectedly found myself in a pinch. After my public defender actually offended me with insults, was repeatedly unresponsive, gave weak defense options & said I was guilty, I knew I had to find someone else! My family & I retained Matthew Peterson and I’m still praising Jah for him 👏🏾 As I don't live in MA, I was unaware my state's gun permit would not suffice for traveling through Boston. Why they expect non-residents to get a Mass permit is beyond me… and reasoning. They could easily put it on the state sign, but its all about the money I guess. As a result of false accusations, assumptions about the person I am & an illegal search, I ended up going to jail for a week with 7 trumped up charges & multiple cases. FYI: MA doesn’t have bails bondsmen… You pay the whole thing, all them thousands... in person, in cash 😫 I literally interviewed 20 lawyers who all said I had a next to impossible case and most likely my life & everything I worked so hard for would go down the drain. But God aint no joke… He led us to Matthew who came out of nowhere with a defense that surprised the prosecutor, the cops… and me! Even the judge was heckling them 😅 Aside from winning, I had a very good experience with Matthew… He's not hoity toity, condescending, arrogant or judgmental. Instead he’s very down to earth, open to questions (lots) & takes feedback very well! Realizing the hell his clients are going through, he stays calm even when they flip out... they = me 🤦🏾♀️ sorry Matthew 😔 He’s not the cheapest but I'm here to tell you, he will fight like hell for you! And if you end up in a critical, life-altering situation like I did, he’s what you need & is worth every penny! I’m so grateful for Matthew & all his hard work, HalleluJAH!

Just got out of a recent case and I must say Matthew did his thing. He made sure that all my questions and concerns were answered and he reassured me every step of the way.
