I highly recommend Attorney Peterson for representation when fighting a Speeding Ticket. Matthew represented me in a Virtual Magistrate Hearing and helped me win my case! He was very professional and articulate - able to state my case and recount the events of the evening in addition to telling my personal story. The clerk stated that she can see I was taking the violation seriously by hiring counsel to represent me and the ticket was dismissed!

I hired Matthew Peterson to represent my husband who had 8 criminal charges against him, Matthew was diligent in filling the necessary motions to get the charges dismissed. Matthew is very professional, responsive and cares about his clients. He kept me informed every step of the way and fought for positive outcome.

Mr. Peterson is a great lawyer who understands his clients' needs and caters to them accordingly. He is very professional and courteous; making you feel very comfortable in discussing your situation and needs. The icing on the cake is that he is very responsive, and will immediately clarify all your doubts and queries via phone or email. He successfully handled my case, and helped me in obtaining my green card with a quick turnaround. Other lawyers usually ask for a non-refundable consultation fee of $250 and upwards, which in my opinion is very pressurizing and makes you feel like they're taking advantage of your situation; but here you don't have to worry about any consultation fees. Overall, amazing service and he deserves a 5 star review.

I consulted Matthew to discuss my family based GC petition. Matthew is a very honest, compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer. He listened to me patiently and was able to answer all questions to my satisfaction. Moreover, he was always quick to respond to my emails whenever needed. I will always be grateful to him and would definitely recommend his services.

In criminal cases, appeals are only rarely successful. However, if you believe the judge in your case made a wrong decision, you should hire a criminal appeals attorney to determine whether you may have a case.
A court of appeals will decide whether the judge made any errors. If successful, the case could be sent down to the trial judge or the case could be dismissed in some cases. An appeal is often a very lengthy process and can take years.
Yes. An attorney can help negotiate a better plea offer, or maybe find defenses to your case you had no idea you had. Hiring an attorney is almost always better than doing it yourself.
Yes, most criminal charges can be sealed after a waiting period, depending on the disposition of the case and type of charge. You should consult with an attorney to determine whether your case can be sealed.
If you are not a citizen and are arrested, you should consult with a criminal attorney who understands immigration law. I practice both criminal and immigration law. The arrest itself may affect your immigration status, and you must be very careful on how the case is disposed.
Yes. Vacating a conviction can allow you to get immigration status such as a green card, since many criminal convictions prevent that.
Vacating a conviction means getting a new trial granted. Vacating a conviction can allow you to get immigration status.
In Massachusetts, a felony is an offense that the Superior Court can exercise jurisdiction over and can carry prison time, and they're generally more serious offenses. Many times, felonies are handled in district court as well. Misdemeanors are less serious offenses and carry up to two and a half years in jail, while felonies carry up to life in state prison.
Definitely not. You should consult with an attorney before speaking to any police officer after you're arrested (or before). You have the right to remain silent - use it!
No, I do not do civil rights work.
Yes, you still have that right. Many judges will question whether you can afford one since you could afford bond, though.
