Matthew Leyba is hands down one of the best lawyers in the Seattle, Redmond, and Bellevue, WA area! He is a very experienced, knowledgeable, and hard-working person who understands the best approach to handle trouble with the law. Specifically, he was able to reduce a DUI and red-light ticket to a lesser charge and zero jail time. He guided his client through the entire process from the incident to the trial appearance. I am positive that without his help, we would have settled for a far worse result. I whole heartedly recommend Mathew Leyba.

Very kind and is always sure to go over absolutely everything with you before each court date and with every step of the legal process. I'm not sure where I'd be right now without Matthew's expert legal help. 10/10 would recommend if you need help navigating a DUI case

Having to go through a dui is very nerve wracking, having Mr. Leyba in my corner in the end made all the difference. He was able to produce an outcome that I couldn’t be happier with. Worth the money !!!

Matthew is an absolutely phenomenal lawyer. He is highly knowledgeable and was always so informative and available 24/7 for anything during a difficult and nerve racking time for me. He is professional and prompt and I am so grateful for his help in my case. When In the court room, he handled my situation and approached everything with extreme professionalism, it was obvious he was the most experienced present, It gave me a lot of peace. Choose Matt if you’re looking for help, he goes above and beyond and that’s priceless. If I could give 10 stars or above I would. Thanks so much Matt!

After speaking to various attorneys and doing some research, I decided to go with Matt. Getting into legal trouble is a massive hassle. Matt is excellent he gives you explanation when you need it. He is straight forward and that is very important. Trust the process and trust Matt as well. Highly recommend.

I won't go into details about myself but know that I was in a particularly difficult situation and had a real uphill battel in front of me when I went to Jon. Jon knows the law inside and out. He has seen almost every "if then" scenario and proceeds only after careful evaluation of each decision, considering the possible results and after thoughtful consultation with me. Beyond the procedural Xs and Os, Jon is a brilliant tactician, Judges, DAs, experts, timelines, results, are all variables that change. Jon knows when to move forward and when to stand fast and most importantly - how to be best prepared at each stage. He understands the way the system works and translated that in plain English and clear choices. He educated me such that I could do much of the ‘soon to be expected’ work up front on my own timeline, and at my convivence. This was very deliberate and super helpful to the outcome of my case. I will note that equally important to me is the humanity I saw in Jon. I was not paying a lawyer to be my therapist, but he honestly wants to see people get better and gave me hope I did not have before. He understands the crisis of addiction. He never judged me, made me feel less of myself, and always treated me with respect. At the same time was upfront about both the best- and worst-case scenarios. I knew Jon always had my best interest in mind and was quick to respond when I had questions or concerns. I could depend on Jon to advise and even coach me in a nonjudgmental way, so we would be successful. His integrity was clear at every interaction we had, and I always felt better after we talked. And that was hard considering the possibilities we were discussing. He is a good person and well liked, and you also see that shine in court. He is always prepared, and I knew I had the absolute best lawyer when those dreaded Zoom calls started. There is a noted gravitas afforded to Jon that only comes with the combination of professionalism, tenure, and the expertise he possesses. I realize this is a long-winded review, but if someone is in the state I was in, it is the kind of information that would have helped me be successful. Jon was a critical part of that. Today I have my life back, job security, and most importantly, my family again. I would not change a thing with my decision to hire Jon and if you find yourself in a similar position, you should strongly consider my experience to make your decision. Good luck (and much of that is in your own control with Jon). I wish you well in both your legal challenges and successfully coping with whatever drove you to be in this situation.

Jon Fox helped me with my hearing,bond, seeking deferred prosecution, keeping perfect records of scheduled meetings, and recommendations for Intelock devices, etc. He or his assistant return calls about any questions immediately. He has been a big part of my recovery from denial about needing to become sober. I am grateful for his competence and compassion and am greatly enjoying sobriety, Jon Fox is the Best!

Matthew did an amazing job on my case, he was extremely professional and responsive and was always willing to spend the time to discuss all aspects of my case in a way I would understand.

Jon did an excellent job with my son's case.  He was great about laying out our options during the case with clear language that we could understand. I was particularly impressed on how Jon communicated with my young son. The case was a very long, drawn out process during the pandemic and Jon felt it important to continuously give words of encouragement to my son by pointing out the positives. We appreciate Jon's professionalism, as we always believed that we were getting facts from Jon, good or bad. Jon was able to negotiate a decent deal in the case and I would definitely recommend Jon. 

I hired Jon last summer after being stopped by the police while driving back home after a small gathering with some friends. I was arrested and taken to the police station the same night: I was simply terrified. I never had any legal trouble and mainly I didn't realize that I was intoxicated at that level and clearly unable to drive. A friend of mine suggested to talk with Jon Fox and after a consultation I hired him right away. From day one Jon helped me navigating through such a challenging time of my life, answering all the questions I had, being honest about the situation, but most important thing he acted with compassion and respect making me feel I was not a terrible person, but I just made a big mistake. Jon was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and the DUI charge was reduced to the charge of Reckless Driving. The process took 5 months, so much less I thought it was going to be. Hiring Jon was the best decision I made during that time and I will be forever grateful.

Mr. Leyba was an excellent attorney who assisted me with an unexpected legal matter. He was able to provide insights and details into the process and nuances of the case, and was very transparent and responsive in communications with me. Ultimately he secured the outcome he discussed with me at the onset with zero surprises, and we were able to resolve things in the most ideal way possible. While I hope to never need his services again, I would not hesitate to retain him again in the future or recommend him to others.
