I retained Matthew Swedick in October 2025 for representation in an active criminal matter, with…read morethe understanding that he would obtain transcripts and file appropriate motions, including a motion to dismiss. Despite payment of $2,500: * No written retainer agreement was ever provided * Transcripts were repeatedly delayed and not timely obtained * No motion to dismiss was filed, despite written assurances * Communication was inconsistent and at times contradictory I was specifically instructed not to contact the court directly, and all requests were to go through counsel. However, those requests were not acted upon, which prevented me from accessing the record needed to defend myself. At one point, I was informed via text that an "official" offer had been made by the District Attorney's Office, which was inconsistent with prior statements that no offer existed. This raised serious concerns about communication and authorization. This representation occurred during an active criminal case involving significant rights, and the lack of clarity, delay, and failure to act materially impacted my ability to proceed. I have since filed a formal complaint with the Attorney Grievance Committee.

With a last minute call-court just two days away I called Matt- he reassured me of what is…read moreexpected, how he can help, and what should be done next- he explained it so simply. He made it easy to trust him and hand him the case hands down after speaking to him. His calm, dedicated communication relieves your stress in tough cases. You can tell he does his work tediously and efficiently. Matt has strong commitment and expertise- he communicates, and works with you financially. I have never met a lawyer that is as easy to call up than like Matt. He is very smart and dedicated to approaching cases realistically to hope for a good result, and most of all defends those who are innocent until proven guilty who are good people that just make mistakes in life. Strongly suggest him! - Nicole
