Matt was awesome!!! He took what he learned from me and ran with it. Matt went above and beyond with the facts of my case during his opening remarks and presentation at my mediation. Matt and his team always kept me up to date during the entire process and well informed during each step of the process. I highly recommend Matt.
I hired Mr. Elwell after getting arrested on DWI. I was referred to him by a trusted friend who is experienced in DWI cases. I proceeded to have him handle my DWI case, as well as my ALR case. After the ALF hearing, I received notification that I had won the case and my license DID NOT get suspended after hearing from multiple people that those cases are almost impossible to win. As for the DWI charge, Mr. Elwell also got the charge dismissed. His office was always timely in keeping me informed about the case. They were very professional and reliable. I would definitely recommend Mr. Elwell to anyone who is going through a DWI case. I will be using his offices to get the charge expunged also.
I chose Matthew Elwell to represent me in a DUI / DWI case and it was the best selection/decision that I could have made. I found out about Matt through Internet search and reached out to him and his office. Upon meeting with Matt I immediately knew that he was the right lawyer/attorney to represent me and give me the best opportunity to win my case. Matt is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Matt was able to get my case dismissed before a trial date could be set after a brief discussion with the DA. His actions saved my job, career and future. I was very blessed to find and hire Matt as my attorney. I definitely owe him more than just the fee he charged. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney who can get the job done.
I was in a bad car accident. I was t-boned by a 17-year old kid driving the wrong way on a one way street. As a result of the accident I suffered back pain, a pinched bursa sack in my left shoulder and permanent collar bone damage. The insurance company's initial offer was a measly 4-figure settlement. I was in pain and had to go to a chiropractor to help alleviate the back pain. After months of haggling with the insurance company, Mr. Elwell called me on a Friday and said he had good news and bad news. The bad news was he got me a settlement. The good news? He could get me $14k more! The very next Tuesday he called and he had delivered! Days later he handed me a large 5-figure check. He didn't settle and did an amazing job, so glad to have him as my attorney!!
When I say 'consult,' I actually mean that Matt consults a client with their case as a person rather than a number( unlike most lawyers do unfortunately.) Very knowledgeable, level headed man that I would definitely recommend for business whenever I get the chance to. I had hired him on as my second attorney for my first offense DWI case after some implications. He was much more thorough in explaining his knowledge and the facts/details than my previous attorney. And no more than two months, though my case was already almost a year old, Matt was able to get my case dismissed on my trial date even before the setting took place by presenting just a few of his arguments to the DA. --Thank you Matt, I'm definitely blessed that I was able to hire you on as my attorney. Your help has definitely helped me get out of the hole that I had buried myself in after a little bit of late night trouble, and changed for the better. The only thing I did wish (and why the rating is only four stars) is that Matt and the firm would have kept me a little better updated throughout the process, rather than calling me the day before or of.
I got popped for possession and luckily when I found Matt to represent me. He was able to prove there was no reason for the traffic stop and was able to get all the charges dropped! He saved my butt big time! Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks Matt!!
I contacted Mr. Elwell about a case I needed expunged off my record and only weeks later he was contacting me with the expunction of my past case. I highly recommend Mr. Elwell for your legal needs!
I highly recommend Matthew Elwell to anyone in need of a defense attorney. When I was charged with failure to stop and give information, I freaked out and didn't know what to do. Matthew explained the process I would go through and possible/likely outcomes. I could tell he was knowledgeable and experienced after our first meeting. Luckily for me, he was eventually able to have my charge dismissed. I can't thank him enough for his work on my case.
I got arrested for possession of weed and some pills, and made a several of appointments to see different attorney's when I got out of jail. Mr. Elwell was the first and only one I met with. He took amazing care of me and even helped silence my ever concerned and always vocal girlfriend. He was able to answer any and all questions we had about my cases and helped curb our concern about potential jail time for me. He got the best result for me, a dismissal!!
I contacted the Thiessen Law firm for an issue I was having with my probation, I got in contact with Mr. Elwell. Mr. Elwell was a true professional over the phone, he gather all my information and he told me to meet him at court and that he would have the issue resolved. He told me that it was a simple matter and he did not understand why my previous attorney could not get the issue resolved in a timely manner. I met him in court, the issue was resolved within minutes and my probation reduced to a lesser amount of time. I was in disbelief, what took a year out of my life with my other attorney, took minutes with Mr. Elwell. He was awesome and I will recommend him to anyone that needs legal help. Thank you Mr. Elwell you rock and Thank you so much.
