Medical

Matthew helped us through a long process, we were stuck, held hostage by a system that truly falls short when it comes to patient rights. I’m still baffled how a medical professional (term used loosely) can influence so many, manipulate and down right lie. We found ourselves against all odds. I am not saying my child didn’t have a breakdown. What I will say is that if I was in so much abdominal pain, had heart issues and was going to be strapped down, my rights taken away, held hostage for 10 days, I and no one I know could have maintained a even a small sense of sanity.

THC OIL Possession Felony Charge

Mat was such a relief to our family! My son got a felony for possession of THC oil, I immediately started looking for legal assistance and was blessed to find Mathew Shafran. He responded the same day, always kept us abreast of the process, and although my son lives in a different city, he drove a few hours to attend court with my son, and was able to negotiate a pre-trial diversion program and drop the felony charges to misdemeanor charges. Thank you Mathew!!

A responsive, knowledgeable and skilled attorney

We called after our son was arrested for a crime he committed nearly 9 months earlier. We received a return call in minutes and Matt was able to visit our son a few hours later after finishing representing other clients in court. Our son was distraught and frightened and Matt was very reassuring and supportive. Matt provided knowledgeable advice regarding bond arrangements suggesting he get back into his routine immediately since he had been doing so well. He was also very reassuring to us, the distressed parents, and always provided an almost immediate response to our questions and concerns. Our son had been in substance abuse treatment for almost ...

Best Lawyer for student at the U

My son, a student at the University of Miami, was facing 2 serious drug related felonies. We contacted our attorney in the state where we live and he recommended Matt to us. Once I reached out to Matt he was back in touch within the hour. He explained to my husband and I what my son was facing. Matt was available throughout the process for consultations with both my son and his parents. Ultimately, Matt was able to negotiate a pretrial diversion program where all charges will be dismissed once my son has completed a 6 month program.

Fantastic Experience!

Justin was referred to me by a friend who had been represented by him and enthusiastically encouraged me to connect with him when I was wary of pursuing legal action. My reservations were quickly eased during my initial consultation. Justin is an absolute professional and took the time I needed to explain the process and his role thoroughly. His sincerity, empathy and commitment to advocating on my behalf were apparent. Throughout, he maintained consistent communication each step of the way until my case was resolved. I would recommend Justin without reservation to anyone seeking representation.
