I never want to be inside a courtroom ever again! But if I am for some reason, I want Matthew Benton on my side. Very professional and trustworthy. Words can not express my gratitude for what he did for me.

I would like to say how much I appreciated the help and expertise that I received from Matt. He was very professional and went above and beyond to help in any way possible with my particular situation. He was very knowledgeable, and I really appreciated that! I highly recommend his services!

I hired Matthew Benton at a short notice and he accepted my case and I have never been through anything that went so smooth. This lawyer knows the law inside and out and I would recommend Matthew Benton as your first choice in lawyers.. I have some upcoming business and he will be my first choice to handle this matter as well..

Attorney Matthew Benton was a magnificent lawyer he got me the justice I deserved and even though he was my court-appointed lawyer I would hire him for anything pertaining to law. Professional and personable, just an all around great lawyer.

I was Matthew's first client when he joined his former partner Welborn. He has been my corporate and personal attorney since coming to Statesville. He is a young, hungry and dedicated attorney who will stand by his clients until positive results come forth from you hiring him. He is without any doubt the best attorney Iredell county has to offer alongside his partner Jason Ralston!
