Client Testimonial:
“Matthew Peterson is an excellent attorney and I can’t thank him and his team enough for successfully representing me on a just concluded criminal case. During the whole time Matthew was extremely professional and addressed me as Mr. (My Last Name). His proactive communication and ability to handle a complex legal scenario effectively was a significant asset in our case. Based on my observation, one of Matthew’s strengths is not only his thorough understanding and knowledge of the law, but ability to prepare well, and think outside the box as well as using modern technology and experts to decipher medical reports etc. At one point I almost wanted to give up but Matthew encouraged me to look at the bigger picture and we won the case with flying colors! It is my absolute pleasure and honor, and I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to anyone in the Boston area seeking a down-to-earth and very friendly criminal lawyer!” – Client
