Unfortunately one of my family members needed a criminal defense lawyer. I called many in the Milwaukee area and Matthew was not only the most professional but also the most empathetic person I spoke to with reasonable rates. I cannot recommend Matthew enough. He is in another class of criminal lawyer. He is someone you can trust, he is super responsive, and he is very clear in his written and verbal communication. Best of all, he worked with us over months and eventually to a wonderful outcome of the case being dropped entirely (since it never should have even happened)! While it was a terrible situation to have to hire a lawyer at all, Matthew did a superb job and I would 100% recommend him over any lawyer in Milwaukee. You will have peace of mind that you have the best, honest representation on your side at a reasonable rate.

“If you are reading this, most likely you need a criminal defense attorney, just like I did! The best advice I can give, is hire him immediately. He is a very good lawyer and will work for your behalf. Hire him and do what he says, that’s is what you need to do. I was impressed with his ability to cross examine people with kindness and caring, such that the truth was heard without feelings in way. That way when the judge was able to hear the truth and make up her mind according to just he facts. He was in charge of two cases for me, but when he needed to raise his voice in the court room, he did! The judge respected him and he won both cases for me!! No need to look any further, hire him, do what he says!”

"Don’t let his youth fool you. He is every bit as good as any weathered Attorney. He has such a great drive to meet his client’s needs. I was his client and although the odds did not seem to be in my favor, he gave his all in trial with what we had to work with and won! The jury only deliberated for 45 minutes too. Aside from his ability to be a great attorney, he is very personable and and all around great guy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding criminal defense attorney."

“When I think of Attorney Matthew Meyer one word comes to mind… PHENOMENAL!! My husband and I hired Matt for a very serious charge my husband was facing.. The charge possibly could have lead my husband to serve anywhere from 3 to 10 years in prison. Matt got the DA to agree to only probation time which was unusual for the type of charge my husband was facing .When it was time for sentencing Matt presented his case so well and professional that the judge actually dismissed the case!! That’s right Case DISMISSED!!! Matt showed and proved to be an outstanding and very knowledgeable lawyer… He was so supportive and informative throughout the whole process.. This was a very rare outcome for the the type of charges my husband was facing the fact that he even got the DA to agree to probation was very rare.. Trust me when I say I would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone.. He has made our nightmare turn into a happy ending!! Thank you again MATT!!!”
