“Proactive, professional, and attentive to detail. I hired Matt Cargal for a recent DUI case back in March. Upon being hired, Matt was proactive and an attentive liaison making sure all court documents and details in order. While he has many clients, he was always easy to communicate with and answered all emails and calls in a timely manner–which I greatly appreciated throughout the process. Highly recommend because he is worth the investment.” – A Satisfied client
“If you’ve found Matt then you’ve found hope! Matt is a fully knowledgeable, caring, and to the point expert with decades of experience under his belt. His legal expertise helped me in ways that I honestly believe no other could have. I would quickly recommend him to anyone seeking a dynamic professional who will fight for you and your rights to the very best of his ability. Don’t settle for anyone less than Matthew Cargal. I cannot express my gratitude to him enough.” – Jonathon
“The Best of the Best. Matt is highly intelligent, empathetic, and a shrewd negotiator, with years of experience working with prosecutors and judges. He’ll certainly make lemonade out of the rancid lemons of your situation. I’d recommend him to first-time and multiple DUI offenders, and I’m confident that his acumen on other criminal matters is just as strong. Most of all his greatest strength is his character, which shows in his deep relationships and respect with the courts and other attorneys. I simply can’t say enough about this fantastic attorney.” – Peter
“Attorney of Attorneys. When considering a defense attorney, you have to ask yourself… What is it exactly that you want, or better yet, what do you and your family NEED? Do you want someone to be just professional and handle your case expertly, or do you NEED someone to work diligently day in and night out on your case, be thoroughly informative, and handle the entire weight of your legal situation both firmly and delicately? Do you want someone to contact you once your case is done or do you NEED someone to be available 24/7, through emails, calls, and office visits, have any and every question answered? You will always be informed with all the inner workings of court, even when you dont have to be present. Do you want someone that will give you a consultation and charge you and arm and a leg or NEED someone that has fair rates, understands whatever economic hardship your going through, and creates flexible payment plans that cater to you? His consultations are free and put your mind at ease. If you just want Joe Schmoe to take your money, and never hear back from, and most likely bend to the will of the court system than Mr. Cargal is not your guy. But, if you NEED someone in your corner to fight for and with you as I did during my overwhelming cases, than Matthew Cargal is most definitely the attorney you NEED to represent you! Mr. Cargal helped me with two of my cases, one in 2013 and another slip up in 2014. With a 98% success rate, I figured it would be a no brainer to look him up. In both cases, he successfully tipped the scales in my favor and my family are forever grateful. It’s been 5 years now no incidents, and he is currently working toward expunging both. Matt and I have created a trust, that I will forever hold dear, and he would do so with everyone that stumbles upon him. So dont hesitate to give Matt a call! Thank you again Matt, you’ve saved me time and time again, and it’s safe to say, you’ve changed my life for the better!” – Joe L.
“There is no better option than having experience on your side! Matthew Cargal is the epitome of what any respectable person needs in a legal situation that can affect their reputation and public record adversely. I have personally hired Matt two times over the last decade. In my first encounter with Matt he was extremely well spoken and detailed in his explanation to me of what my situation was and how he would be able to go about fighting the case. I knew right away that I had hired the best representation out of the sea of attorneys out there. My case was reduced from a DUI to a simple traffic ticket. Essentially saving me $10,000 in state fees/penalties and more importantly DID NOT adversely affect my driving record. Without any doubt it was Matt’s expertise and negotiation skills with the prosecution that led to this result. More recently, I had an instance that brought me back into the legal system on a charge of intoxication in public. I can humbly say that this incident was embarrassing and I knew I could not turn to anyone other than Matt to help me figure out what needed to be done to keep my record clean and also keep me in peace of mind throughout the process. Again. I hired Matt right away after the incident. He was the first thought and the first person i contacted. He gave me clear and concise instruction on what I needed to accomplish before the court date and that he would get the records and also begin his plan of action to fight the charge. I did everything he suggested and he did what he does best – which is bringing his experience, expertise, negotiation skills, and relentless effort to the prosecutor on the day of court. Again, he was able to reduce my charge from a misdemeanor crime to a simple infraction. Its not unbelievable, its just Matt’s canning ability to effectively do his in the best way possible time and again! I cannot express the level of Matt’s knowledge of the court system and of the laws that govern them. He has been able to keep my life moving forward in ways that could not have continued without his representation in both cases. My recommendation here is that if you need a criminal defense for your legal mishap that Matthew Cargal is not just the best option but the ONLY option to represent you. He has saved me twice now and I cannot express enough gratitude or praise enough. My life gets to continue on a good track with a clean record because of him and what he has done for me. Call Matt first!” – Christopher
“Great guy, great lawyer. I got in some drunken trouble and needed someone to help me navigate the legal system. I was very happy to find Matt because i first called him on the phone and he was able to meet me very quickly and discuss the details of my case and addressed all the concerns that I had. Throughout this ordeal, which took a few months to finally get resolved, he would be available to answer all my questions if I called him. He was very professional and was there beside me every time I had to appear in court. He was always very professional and made me feel that my case was in the hands of someone who knew what he was doing. In the end he was able to help me get a favorable outcome and I was very happy with the result. I hope to never need to a lawyer again but should I find myself in that situation I would not hesitate to contact Matt again.” – A Satisfied client

“Dedicated & Attentive! So thankful! Matt was amazing with my DUI case from start to finish. He helped ease my nerves, was such a great communicator through out the whole process in keeping me informed & answering any questions I had. He was completely dedicated to getting me the best possible outcome, even when my court dates spanned for over a year. He ended up getting my .15 DUI lessened to a wet reckless. I am so thankful for everything he did for me, and would recommend Matt to anyone!” – Marika
“Thankful. Incredibly personable, dedicated and knowledgeable. He worked tirelessly to make sure we had the outcome we wanted, and made sure to make me feel safe and reassured along the way. It is usually difficult to find a good lawyer, and after searching through many options, Matthew Cargal definitely was the right choice. I would recommend his law offices to friends and family for any predicament pertaining to the law. Thank you!” – Joyce
“One of the best DUI lawyers out there! I’m not from this country and getting a DUI on the night of my birthday is the last thing I expected and felt the ground had been pulled from under my feet. I was very lucky to have come in the presence of Matthew who keeps a low profile but is actually considered one of the best lawyers out there by other professional attorneys and there is saying that goes on about him ‘When somebody in the family of an attorney get into trouble, they go to Matthew Cargal…’ so his reputation precedes him. Along with being thorough and professional with the case he was extremely generous and helpful throughout the process, returned my calls on each and every instance and even gave me a discount because i’m a student and was under a lot of financial pressure. The end result: He got my .12 DUI (which is pretty high) down to a wet reckless and got my penalties reduced considerably 🙂 I’m so grateful to him and if you’ve got into the DUI trouble(bad timing or bound to happen) , I highly recommend Matthew as a great attorney to be represented by. All the very best with the situation!” – Shiva

“He helped prove our son was innocent! Mr. Cargal represented my son on a juvenile crime. Our family was devastated. He constantly called the cop investigating the case and the prosecutor to try to get the case dismissed. He did it! Mr. Cargal was able to get the charges dropped before it went to court. We knew our son was innocent and Cargal fought hard to prove it. He’s the best!” – A Satisfied client
