About
I enjoy being a criminal defense attorney in Arizona because it enables me to make a real difference in my clients' lives. Legal problems affecting families are particularly important to me, as I have personally seen family members struggle with the criminal justice system. My clients have repeatedly told me they appreciate how I fight for them while, at the same time, having an innate ability to relate well with them.Being fluent in Spanish also allows me to help a broader spectrum of our community. With over a decade of experience as a defense attorney and former prosecutor, I have worked thousands of criminal cases in the various City Courts, Superior Courts and Federal Courts of Arizona and can assist you or your family with virtually any criminal problem you confront anywhere in Arizona.

Mr Bartz handled my case with compassion, professionalism using all his expertise. He is definitely a great attorney. Glendale is one of the toughest courts but he was persistent never gave up. After a long year they dropped all charges thank God Thank you so much Mr.Bartz for being in my corner every step of the way. Thank you. Happy New year.
Although Mr. Bartz wasn't intimately familiar with the legal area I called about, he brought up some interesting points and observations and was more than honest in whether he could help me or not.
In 2018, I was falsely charged with a crime. My reputation and my career as a physician were at stake. Unfortunately, my case was initially handled by another reputable law firm in Arizona. After my case was set for trial and because I was not satisfied with my previous counsel, I was referred to Mr. Bartz by a renowned expert witness who has been involved in several complicated DV cases in Arizona. The expert witness told me that Mr. Bartz was one of the most skillful litigators he had ever seen in the courtroom, and that I would be making a big mistake if I did not transfer my case to Mr. Bartz. Boy was he correct! After meeting with Mr. Bartz, I immediately felt confident in having him fight for me. (I also truly believe that had I found Mr. Bartz to represent me from the start of my case, it would have most definitely been dismissed before a trial was set.) Mr. Bartz is extremely brilliant in litigation/criminal defense. He is also a compassionate and zealous advocate for his clients. Going to trial was one of the worse experiences of my life, but having Mr. Bartz by my side, made the process a lot more bearable. Mr. Bartz was exceptionally skillful in how he navigated and proceeded during my trial and he truly shined in the courtroom. It was obvious that even the judge and prosecutor were impressed by his talent and knowledge. I was not an easy client and an emotional wreck throughout my case, but Mr. Bartz was always professional and compassionate towards me. Throughout the entire process, I felt as if he fought for me just as hard as he would fight for his own family member. I would never want to enter another legal battle without him at my side. Thanks to him, I can put this horrible ordeal behind me and get on with my life. Thank you so much Mr. Bartz- I am forever grateful to you.
I got in trouble with the law and I had to find a lawyer ASAP! When I found Matt it was at his office and I presented my case to him. He immediately made my family and I feel relaxed and confident that he can fight this case and made me feel like as if what I did as a crime wasn't so bad. I was worried that I was going to get jail time but Matt managed to help me keep my cool of the entire court process. Each court day he looked fully prepared and presented himself and I at a very professional state. In the end he managed to keep out of jail. If there is one thing that stood out the most is that he kept his word throughout the whole process from hiring him, to the last court day. If there is any lawyer would recommend, it would be Matthew Bartz for his experience and comforting he expresses towards my family and I. Thank you Matt! Much love and respect to you!
Recently my son was involved in a situation requiring the services of an attorney, for which we turned to Matthew Bartz. In the initial phone contact, he was very professional and informative where he explained all the options and possible outcomes. Subsequently, Mr. Bartz and his staff answered questions with patience and understanding. He kept my son informed at every step of the proceedings. Should I ever be asked if I could recommend an attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Bartz and the Suzuki Law Offices. Not only because of Mr. Bartz, but also all the staff with whom we had contact including Joel Thompson and Trish Baeza. His level of expertise was invaluable in helping my son through a difficult time. He facilitated a very positive outcome.
My past finally caught up with me but fortunately Mr. Bartz was with me every step of the way. The court decided to bring up charges that had been dropped. I had finally gotten my life together and had moved to New Mexico to start over and I was so scared that I would have to go back to Phoenix to serve time or do my probation there. Mr. Bartz got back to me the same day I called and his office made all of my court arraignments. My first appearance in court was terrifying. The prosecutor didn't want me to delay my sentencing so I could return back to New Mexico and finish my semester at the University of New Mexico. The prosecutor wanted my to fail out of school! I'm a 4.0 student and if the prosecutor had her way, my college career and my future would be ruined! Mr. Bartz advised me to take it the judge and ask her to delay sentencing. It was a gamble, but it paid off! I was able to return home to New Mexico and finish the semester. When I returned to Phoenix a few days ago for sentencing, I only received 18 months probation! I can be done in 9 months if I pay my fines and keep doing well. I can't recommend Mr. Bartz enough. He was incredible. His advice was spot on and he made this scary process as smooth and as easy as possible. Mr. Bartz is a fantastic and experienced lawyer that knows what he is doing and really cares. I can't thank him enough for everything he has done!
I selected Matt to assist with my son’s case, after speaking with a few attorneys. None of us knew the case would go on for almost 3.5 years from first contact to the end of the case. That is a long time for a case. Even so, Matt was there every step of the way, doing everything he could to help ensure the best outcome for my son’s case. Matt was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He was upfront with us all along the way about what to expect; he never sugar coated anything, which is what I wanted. Matt helped with my son’s case in more ways than I can count. I had some difficult times during those 3.5 years, when I became upset with the process, because I was so frightened about the potential outcome of my son’s case. Despite my fears, Matt not only maintained his composure and professional demeanor, he helped calm me down and bring me back down to earth. He was very understanding of the fact that I was, as a parent, on a very powerful emotional roller coaster. Matt made it possible for both my son and I to get to the end of that long ride with our sanity. Both my son and I were satisfied with the outcome of the case, which was substantially better than the original expectation. We are both very grateful for having had Matt on the case.
