Matt handled my DUI case and was able to get things resolved with excellent results. He was very responsive whenever I had questions and kept me feeling assured throughout the process. He’s a straightforward guy who will leave you without any sense of doubt and works hard to advocate for his clients. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone

I contacted Matthew and his firm for a mistake I know was not intentional but happened. Matt was upfront, honest and straight forward which I appreciated. From the first time contacting his office to the day my case was dismissed, I felt supported and was provided good legal advice. I appreciated his team; from the first phone call, I felt safe. When I was trying to make payment I was overwhelmed and even the lady I talked to said we are here for you.. it’s those small things that can really change your life that matter. most. Thank you!

Had an FWC case, contacted the firm through the website, Matt responded promptly, as with all future communications. He was easy to talk to and handled the case well. I won't say the case status, obviously since all cases are unique.

I was extremely happy with the work Matt Shafran did for me as my attorney. He was very easy to communicate with and get ahold of. If I texted him asking if he was free to talk, I always received a call within 5 minutes no matter what time of day. He talked me through all the different ways he could approach my case and ultimately got me the best outcome possible. After dealing with other attorneys, I wouldn't hire anyone other than Matt. If you are looking for an attorney to help with a fish & wildlife case, Matt is your man.

Matt was patient and handled my case with such diligence. He was there when I needed him (through every single one of my multiple anxiety attacks). If there was one thing I appreciated, it was his constant assurance that everything would be handled every time I would break down. He told me the possible outcome he could make happen and he did it. I appreciate Matt and his work. He really cares for you! He was always just one text away and he would answer in less than 10 minutes. Loved this guy, honestly. He got my case dismissed that would have probably ruined my life forever. Thanks Matt (as well as the team).

I was accused of Sexual battery (Rape). I was referred to Matt from a friend in West Palm beach. Living in CT I was extremely nervous about the serious criminal allegations against me. Speaking with Matt, he counseled me on how to proceed. The best advice I was given was to not make a statement about the situation. Matt quickly developed a 3 phase approach. The 1st phase was to present the evidence to the prosecutor to have the charges dropped. Fortunately I don't have to describe the last 2 phases because Matt was successful with phase 1. The charges were dismissed. He gave me his undivided attention and proactively collected information about the case and was available at my convenience. I strongly recommend Matt Shafran for all criminal issues. His experience and abilities are outstanding.

What can I say about my experience with Matt?! I feel like the biggest compliment you can give a professional is that they are good at their profession. My experience was that Matt was not good but excellent. From our very first conversation I felt he was extremely confident and even more important competent. After that it really felt like I was being represented by a friend. I'm ashamed to say I got a little bit needy at times, I felt like my life was going to go down the tubes. But man he came through like I have a feeling he knew he was going to do the whole time but couldn't say. I owe him big-time.

Attorney Matt Shafran went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and taken care of during a stressful time and situation. If you need a knowledgable lawyer who is flexible, makes himself available to his clients, and pays attention to details, I highly recommend Attorney Matt Shafran.

Dear Mr. Shafran, my sincere thanks goes out to you for my legal representation. From the moment we spoke on the phone you assured me that everything would be ok, and that it was not the end of the world, and to stay positive. Also you have helped me get through one of the worst times in my life as well as made a very critical difference in future. Not to mention your professionalism and compassion are like no other. I have already recommended someone to you that is need of legal counsel. Hats off to Weinstein Legal.
