Attorney Matheson is a fantastic lawyer. I do not write reviews, but I do know what it means to need a lawyer and to need a good one. I am putting this here in case someone needs a lawyer and needs a real good one. Attorney Matheson is very responsive, very knowledgeable, and is honest about what your options are. He was able to navigate me through some very difficult charges and help bring me in to a good outcome. If you are in need of a good lawyer, one that you can truly count on, this is your lawyer.
I hired Attorney Matheson to represent me on a moving violation charge. I initially called on a Saturday, expecting to speak to an answering service. ( I called several attorneys prior to Atty Matheson.) Not only did he answer his phone, he graciously spoke with me for nearly 30 minutes! I felt better about the situation before I’d even met with him. I knew, mid-conversation, he was the attorney for me. Upon initial consultation, he confirmed my belief in his genuine concern for me & my case. His team was my “Dream Team”. They were consistently professional, attentive and thorough. He explained the process & possible scenarios. Attorney Matheson’s quiet confidence is a force to be reckoned with. He’s a beast in the courtroom! We got the BIG W, thanks to his legal expertise and passion for defendant’s rights. I highly recommend Matheson & Associates, PLLC for all your legal services. I never felt like I was just another case or client. They made me feel like I was their ONLY client. I am forever grateful. They are the best!!
We hired Mr. Matheson for a situation regarding medication that WakeMed "police" charged misdemeanor for illegal possession. Mr. Matheson took copies of the legal scripts, pics of the bottles, and was very reassuring that the charges would be dropped. On the day of court, Mr. Matheson provided the necessary documentation to the Prosecutor who immediately dropped the charges. We found Mr. Matheson to charge very reasonable fees, and was true to his word. He told us how the process would go, and that's exactly how it went. Either he or his office responded within hours to any emails via their app. Very pleased and highly recommend!
I've used Matheson & Associates multiple times over the years and it's always been a great experience. I really appreciate that the communication exceeds expectations and I'm never left wondering what comes next. I've been a client of multiple attorneys there and the entire staff has been fantastic to deal with - I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney.
Attorney Matheson represented me for a couple of traffic citations that could have been a real pain. Through his clear and thorough communication and prep, he was able to have both charges dismissed. I really appreciate the help from him and his paralegal Cameron. Recommend this firm enthusiastically!

Attorney Malcolm Matheson has one magnificent obsession: to relentlessly advocate for his client’s legal rights, and to achieve the best possible outcome on their behalf. He is an incredibly effective professional that has the uncanny ability to make you feel like you are his only client.

Misdemeanor: DWI .09 BAC - Dismissed (probable cause trial) Felony: Obtaining Property by False Pretense – Dismissed (trial)
Matheson Law Office is friendly, professional and very quick to respond. I received "another" pretty excessive speeding ticket (which I didn't think that I could get out of). They worked until they came to a resolution that was more then what I could ask for. This Law firm really wants to help and not just looking to make a quick $. Trust me. If you want someone you can trust and rely on without breaking the bank, call them!
Attorney Matheson helped me through DUI process that took many months. He correctly predicted the outcomes at every step of the process, told me exactly what to expect and always asked for my opinion on the options. He never gave me 'false hope.' and had me prepared for more difficult outcomes, but in the end he got my charges dismissed (extremely difficult to do). He charged a flat rate for handling the case, just has he proposed at the first meeting. His team is terrific, too.
Moseley is the best lawyer that I could have hoped for. My girlfriend received a speeding ticket of 25 over and he went to court 3 times to get the best outcome possible. This type of commitment and looking out for your best interests is rare and valuable. Thank you so much!
Mr Mathison was easy to understand, patient when asked to explain further, and knowledgeable of the law and the court process. Clearly outlined the choices for my girlfriend's DWI from the beginning and his planned approach to defense. I was participating for moral support and an extra set of ears to recall conversations. one office visit, numerous emails/texts, two court apprearances (scheduling and shopping district attorneys). And he had a back up plan to for an appeal if we lost. After the case was dismissed on a technicallity he spotted, he is working to expunge the arrest completely. Hope to never need him again, but would return and highly recommend.
