"This lawyer is a waste of money. Matthew lied about doing his work and wasted my time and money. He never phoned me for updates; I had to call him instead, and when I asked for evidence of what he allegedly done, all he gave me was a screenshot of an email he wrote. After he told me he went to the courthouse !"

"Man, man, man the miracles Mr. Sharp can do only if you knew, ok , I caught a case felony assault family member which I had 3 previous assaults meanwhile I was on probation at the time, I didn't think I was gonna come out of this no way with 3 assault charges and a new one on probation no. Prosecutor was trying to give me 4 years TDC, I was shook cause I've never been there meanwhile I have my own businesses and I take care of my mother, Mr. Sharp aggressively took my case and was on it from day 1, my case got rest for almost 8 months, February 7 was my hearing I was so nervous. Mr Sharp stepped in the court room greeted me and walked up to the judge and said I'm filling for a dismissal, I over heard him say it and I almost jumped and shouted in that court from both charges were dropped and I have them removed from my background, we went into the room to talk and I just gave Mr. Sharp the biggest hug ever for staying true to me and getting my cases drop, if u have any charges mark my words you better get Mr. Sharp he's the realest lawyer I've ever worked with, again thanks Mr. Sharp I'm forever grateful."

"Matthew Sharp is an amazing attorney for teachers or anyone who needs general help. He’s attentive, affordable, and best of all calm and composed in what can be a trying time in your life. He doesn’t sugar coat anything or give you false pretenses which I also appreciated. Call him and see what I mean, don’t go with anyone else."
