Bad on communication, did not return phone calls for questions. And come to find out if they would have been honest with me upfront I would have got same results without lawyer. All that they did for me was delay when my suspension started. Biggest waste of $5,000 in my life.

Kyle was an amazing lawyer. Thank you again for helping me with such a quick notice.

I was very happy with Mathew Lopez’s law firm. They were able to get my case expunged! Rebecca who works there was especially helpful in this matter. The whole team is very nice, responsive and competent. Thank you Mathew and staff!

My first contact with Rebecca was very informative and comprehensive. My questions were answered with each call. This not being a situation I ever find myself in, I was put at ease by her professionalism and demeanor. Everything was explained to my expectations. While I don't plan to be in this situation EVER again, I highly recommend MatthewLopesLaw. They truly do work for you!

Straight shooter, honest and knows his stuff. Matt was very, very helpful in my situation, is efficient and a no nonsense knowledgeable attorney I would recommend!!

Matt and his crew know what they're doing. Over the summer I was dealing with legal trouble, so I reached out and Cindy was the first person I talked to. She was able to get me all setup with an awesome attorney and from there it was sweet sailing, start to finish. I appreciate the team at Matthew Lopez Law. Thanks all.

I had a very frustrating experience with the Matthew Lopez law firm I hired to represent me in my DUI case. Initially, I spoke with Matthew Lopez, who seemed very knowledgeable and attentive. However, when I signed on, the lawyer assigned to my case was Tyler Steele. Right from the start, Tyler and I had a rocky relationship. When he informed me that the prosecutor claimed I had a prior DUI, I told him that it was not true. But Tyler seemed to believe the prosecutor's word over mine, even though my driving record proved otherwise. It was unfortunate that Tyler Steele, did not thoroughly investigate the prosecutor's claim about a prior DUI and instead took their word for it and wanted me to accept the prosecutions plea offer. It was also concerning that Tyler did not inform me about the option of submitting a deviation request and I had to learn about it on my own through research. A deviation request allows for the defendant to make a case for a lesser charge while still accepting responsibility and is in line with justice. Finally, after eight months of working with Tyler, I learned that he was no longer with the firm, and Rebecca was assigned to my case one month before my next court date. Unfortunately, Rebecca also had to deal with the prosecutor's false claim about a prior DUI, and I learned from Rebecca that Tyler had not submitted any of the recommendation letters I sent over to support my deviation request. Rebecca worked hard to resubmit my deviation request with the recommendation letters and my personal statement letter, but it was still denied by the prosecutor who referenced the prior DUI again. I was disappointed that the prosecutor did not consider my fingerprints and clean driving record, and from the beginning it seemed that the firm was not representing me with vigor or compassion. Rebecca recommended that I accept the plea offer. The day before my court date, I still had questions and wanted to talk directly opposed to email about it. However, she declined my request for a phone call, and at this point I found her cold and harsh and did not demonstrate compassion or consideration for my situation. When I was presented with the plea offer for my DUI case, I felt like I had no other choice but to accept it. Even though it wasn't what I had hoped for, I just wanted to move on from this situation that was causing me a lot of stress and depression. However, at court when Rebecca was going over the offer with me, I noticed that there was a mistake in the charge that I was being asked to plead guilty to. The offer stated that it was for a DUI with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or above, which was not my understanding at all. I was under the impression that the plea offer was for a DUI to the slightest degree, which was already a difficult decision for me to make. This was a mistake that should have been caught by my lawyer, Rebecca, before we even got to court. When I brought it to her attention, she responded by saying "Oh, I'm so sorry, thank you for catching that." While I appreciated the acknowledgement, it was her job as my lawyer to catch and correct any errors in the plea offer before presenting it to me. This further supported my feelings of being unrepresented and left me questioning the level of care and attention I was receiving from the firm. I was frustrated and disappointed by this error, and it made me feel like I couldn't trust the system. It was a difficult and emotional time for me, and I had put my faith in the firm to represent me with compassion and vigor. Unfortunately, I felt let down by the experience and wished that I had read their Yelp reviews before hiring them. I recommend you check their Yelp reviews! I do not recommend this firm! In the end, I got the worst-case scenario, i.e., a DUI on my record and that being so I feel like I could have represented myself, saved thousands of dollars and gotten the same outcome.

Matt Lopez and his team are great. From start to finish they made things easy. Always kept us informed. Would definitely recommend them strongly.

Great experience. Highly likely to recommend.
