"Was a little aggressive heading home from work one night. Was stopped for going way over the speed limit. I called Matt for a consult. We came to terms and was told Caitlin would be at court with me. Lets just say it was money well spent. Caitlin did a great job. Texted me she was there ,had consulted with the district attorney and would meet me soon. When called in front of the Judge the case was all worked out. Reduced, probation with a vey minimal fine. Professional staff and work, great team. Thank you! Pat F"

"I am so grateful to Matt and Colleen. I had no experience, didn’t know who to ask for help, and was going through such a difficult time, but they took care of everything and brought the best possible outcome. More than anything, I could truly feel that they cared about me and my family and genuinely wanted to do their best to help us. Thank you."
