Mr. Pack is a Man of his word....

Each case has sentencing guidelines that will show you the minimum and maximum time requested for jail time. He had my boyfriend agree to 5 months when the maximum guideline was 3 months. I am currently pregnant and Matt made it clear he did not want to be hired to help with a furlough so dad could be present at babies birth. I was told 1000 and he would be escorted by an officer. That is for funerals not a child’s birth. Matt was very rude. The new lawyer requested 400 and dad will be out for 7 days for babies birth. The new lawyer also showed me the sentencing guidelines on the computer yesterday and does not understand why Matt would’ve gotten someone to agree to more time. Do not waste your money on Matt Pack and if you get court appointed to him I highly recommend you get someone else. He does not care and will not fight for your rights. His attitude sucks.

Matt represented me in a custody case and did a stellar job. He is very knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the custody process. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for those matters.

Chris and his team are the best lawyer's I've ever seen. Thank you all very much!!

They truly care

They truly care..and follow through to end

In November 2017 I got a DUI. I consulted with 4 separate attorneys. Matt sounded the most confident in that he could potentially get me out of my DUI, so for $1,500 I hired Matt to represent me in my case in Lynchburg. He explained to me that with the certificate of analysis of breath alcohol, we had to break the chain of probably cause of arrest. This means we had to prove that the sobriety tests were done improperly. Court was in February, and in court, he approached me and said, “ I think this is going to result in a conviction”. Well, it did. And he did not testify very well on my behalf. I met with him the following week to decide if we should appeal my case. When asked for his opinion, said to me, “this is an uphill battle, but not impossible”. i decided to stick with my appeal, because I truly felt that the situation that resulted in my DUI was not deserved(even the state trooper who arrested me wanted to reduce my DUI to a wreckless, but the prosecuting attorney and commonwealth attorney don’t allow this in Lynchburg) - this would have been useful information for my attorney to share with me before I paid him an additional $950 to appeal my case. On the circuit court date, (which was dragged all the way out to June), matt said to me, “so as we thought, we were pretty much just prolonging the inevitable”.... WE didn’t think that’s all we were doing, as he had me convinced that there may be a chance of getting it dropped. He waited until the week of court to call the commonwealth attorney and ask for mitigation (she said no), and then practically complained to me about having to spend 20 minutes on the phone with her. The day of circuit court, he finally watches the video of my arrest. He then tells me that this will ultimately result in conviction yet again and then says that the only way that the state trooper and prosecuting will drop my speeding ticket isid I don’t make them show the evidence in court... but then if we did show the evidence in court, we would still lose and I’d be stuck with a DUI AND a speeding ticket. So we withdrew the appeal and got the speeding ticket dropped. Matt went down to the clerks office and I came down with him. We signed the papers for my restricted license and then I left. The following day, I received a phone call from the circuit court saying that “my attorney neglected to show me where I needed to go to pay and that my license would be suspended (not restricted) if I could not make it by 4:15 to do paperwork and payments. Also, with VASAP and the interlock, he is completely clueless. I thought I was hiring someone who knew how to help me through this situation but I would have been better off saving myself $2,450 and never speaking to him. Also, if you consult with him, you’ll notice that all he does is talk about his previous cases that have nothing to do with you. This is way of making you think he’s gotten so many people out of charges, and in reality he most likely won’t get you out of yours. Overall, matt was a very kind person, but just not a great DUI attorney. He didn’t do much work for me at all, in court, and didn’t do any work for me whatsoever in the days leading up to court the first time. Very disappointed.
