CR Masonry Services LLC 857-452-5799Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best attorney I've ever had and I've had quite a few unfortunately. Matthew went above and beyond had my case dismissed. Extremely highly recommend Matthew w Peterson. You want Justice give him a call... 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. Que Dios lo bendiga siempre excelenticimo trabajo gracias abogado matthew w peterson infitas gracias 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Biker Girl Paradise (Dise)Trustindex 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! Abdulrahman TuffahaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and amazing experience in general, thank you 🙏🏼 damell wattsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. I couldn't have asked for a better Lawyer. If you're not cheap and want a great lawyer he's your guy. Igor MonteiroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We very happy with the Law Office of Matthew W Peterson. Everyone on his team take really good care of me and did the an amazing job on my case. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
