About
I love fighting for the underdog. If there's a way to help you, I will. I leave no stone unturned and seek the best possible resolution in every case. In my free time I enjoy the Colorado outdoors, biking and poker. I played in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker and made it late into the second day. I did not quit my day job.

Reviews
Matthew Hand is an excellent lawyer. He became personally invested when he handled our case, with honesty, straight forwardness and perseverance. He went over and above our expectations. We had the best outcome you could ask for, with a not guilty verdict in a very tough case. I would highly recommend Mr. Hand.
Matt was such a pleasure to work with in this stressful situation. My car's bumper barely touched another car's bumper when I backed out of my parking spot. The owner of the other vehicle was in his car at the time and came unglued. Unfortunately, I felt that there was no accident and fled the man who was in full "road rage mode" and did not call the police. This could have been a very serious matter with severe consequences. Fortunately I chose Matt Hand from this website to represent me. He is level headed, intelligent, and sensitive and I'm convinced that all these qualities paid off in my receiving the slightest of penalties. I couldn't be more pleased with my representation!
Matthew did the prep work for my case that made all the difference in the process and outcome. Ultimately his understanding of the process and legal dynamics proved invaluable in handling my case. He was communicative throughout the process and available when needed.
Matt Hand was fantastic from beginning to end. When faced with career threatening traffic charges, Matt dove right in and provided a strategy to explain and mitigate that led to a satisfactory outcome for me. He used his vast process knowledge gained from experience as a prosecutor to help me. He tenaciously pursued opportunities to offramp my case in the face of a system designed to ignore such requests. I am wholly satisfied with the service and representation provided. Plus, on top of the professional service Matt is personably, easy to interact with, and willing to listen to individual needs. Highly recommend.
Look no further. Matt hand is the right attorney for you. Professional, caring, articulate compassionate, and gets the job done. He does not pass off the task at hand. I am a family man who is also a local businessman who was caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time. I fell victim to being wrongful accused of an erroneous, total fabrication without substance. The accuser was young and convincing to local police and the DA. I felt doomed until I called upon Attorney Matt Hand to handle my case. Matt was very reassuring, that the truth would set me free, and the case would either be dismissed, or I would get an acquittal. After almost a year of sleepless night, extreme stress and worry, Mat Hand kept his promise. I was acquitted by a trial by jury. Attorney Matt did get the job done. I owe Matt a lifetime of appreciation.
I was driving late at night after a snow storm and slid through a stop sign and hit two parked cars. I left the scene after panicking. Two observers said they thought I was under the influence. Matt worked diligently for me to have my case resolved. I got extremely lucky with his help and was only charged with careless driving and 4 points, as opposed to 12 points, reckless driving, and license suspension for a year. He was helpful, understanding and responsive.
Matt was hired to represent my son on several serious charges. It was a lengthy and complicated process coordinating the different aspects of each case. From day one, Matt was a true professional gathering information, collecting research, setting expectations, and interacting with DA's in two separate jurisdictions. When negotiations broke down with one DA, Matt did not hesitate to suggest several alternative strategies to improve the outcome. In the end, the sentences on all cases were significantly less than originally proposed by the DA. At the conclusion of the process, Matt spoke to my son in a truly sincere way. Rather than a lawyer speaking to a client, he spoke to him like a friend or family member would speak to him. He pointed out the mistakes he had made but more importantly, he emphasized all the positive attributes he had seen in my son during the months long process and provided specific guidance on steps he should take that will provide a foundation for a successful future. That conversation more than anything stuck me as going above and beyond. I would highly recommend Matthew Hand.
This whole process was new to me. Not once did I think I’d need a lawyer growing up, it was something I saw in movies. The summer of 2020 is something I’ll never forget. I made some mistakes. The time came where I needed a lawyer. Without a doubt Matthew Hand was an obvious choice. I went on a few sites reviewing lawyers and I read all the comments. I was confident with reaching out to Matt. After a consultation with Matt I knew I wanted someone like that defending me. I gave Matt 3 Criminal cases back to back. Without diving into details, I was looking at multiple felonies. On top of 3 cases Matt went out of his realm and represented me in a divorce as well. I CANNOT explain how grateful I am to have had a lawyer like Matt. If I did this alone my outcome would not be the same. I would have been chewed up and spit out. Matt didn’t come off as just a lawyer doing his job. Matt cared, explained things, gave great guidance, sympathized, created, believed, and he can fight. A quite man and a patient man like Matt is the one you want in your corner. He had an answer every time I called or emailed. He was quick in every response and he didn’t sugarcoat facts. That’s respectable. I got a deferred judgement on my cases which will drop to a misdemeanor. It’s my responsibility to ensure that however that would have not been an option without the representation I had with Matt. If you’re in a tough spot in life and things seem scary and uncertain, I highly recommend you reach out to Matthew Hand. Thank you for everything, Sir.
At one of the lowest times of our lives, we contacted Matthew Hand, and we are so glad we did! He is extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and dedicated. He never leaves you "hanging", and always takes the time to respond and explain things clearly. He believed in us, and even though our case was not an easy one, his outstanding representation led to a victory. We will forever be grateful to him.
I was falsely accused of a serious crime. I chose to go with a lawyer because the legal system in the USA is highly flawed and gamed and rife with conflicts of interest. I think that Matthew was aware of these biases and handled my case with care. Matthew presented my exonerating evidence such that the DA rejected even filing the case. I think he has a good understanding of risk and everything was explained well. He is easy to reach. This is what I would do if i had any contact with the legal system, like i did this time: the 5th amendment, the right to not saying anything to the authorities, police, detectives, whoever...exists. I would use that right 100% of the time, always, because anything can and will be used AGAINST me. And by speaking to the authorities, it will be. The judicial system as it currently exists, exists to perpetuate itself. After invoking that right, I would hire Matthew; ideally before any charges are filed when the case is still being investigated. If i did not follow the first 2 suggestions, id still hire him because i think he would know what to do. But, I would follow the first 2 suggestions, ESPECIALLY the first one. I would recommend Matthew Hand.
