Matthew Bolton handled my case quickly and efficiently. From the very beginning, he kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I understood what was happening and what he was working on. His communication was excellent. He was always responsive, clear, and honest. I truly felt like he cared about my situation and worked hard to get the best outcome possible for my case. He was very trustworthy. I’m so grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and skilled attorney to solve their case.

Matt and his team handled my personal injury case. They worked my case like professionals and set it up to settle at mediation, which it did for almost exactly the amount he predicted. Then, he negotiated a significant reduction in the subrogation lien which put a whole bunch more money in my pocket. Thank you Matt!!

Mr. Bolton is a great attorney. We do not have a lot of disposable income, when he realized this he told us all we needed of his services was for him to draft our divorce paperwork. He only charged us for an hour of his services. He is an honest man who helped us out a great deal during a very stressful time. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable professional attorney who is also a good man.

Matt Bolton was wonderful to deal with. He took the case and moment he had it I knew I was in great hands. He always kept me informed and I never wondered where we stood or what was happening. Always kept me informed. He was up front and honest. O could trust him and most of all trust what he said. He took great care of me and took care of everything.

Mr. Bolton accomplished it exactly in the time frame he had given me. He was very professional, as well as kind and compassionate throughout the whole process. I highly recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.

Hired Attorney J. Matthew Bolton

I hired Matt Bolton in Sept 2021 to represent me in a criminal matter. I had never had a criminal record in my 40 years of life and the case against me was very weak, but complicated and potentially very serious and costly. Matt was very receptive, informative, honest and confident about his abilities to handle my case. I knew after talking to him one time, we would hire him. Also, he was recommended by several people. I was very naive regarding the laws and charges I was facing. He broke everything down for me and walked me through the entire process, which lasted a year. But guess what? I still DONT have a criminal record and Matt handled everything. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. To say that I am pleased is an understatement. I am forever grateful. Do not waste your time shopping around attorneys. Call Matthew Bolton immediately.

I met with Matt after several consultations with other area attorneys where I just felt more confused and anxious after I left then when I walked in. It was somewhat of a last resort, I was very discouraged. First of all, the staff at his firm are WONDERFUL. Tammy……my goodness what an amazingly thorough and sweet person. Matt is in court quite a bit, but Tammy is always available, but Matt was always quick to respond too. Matt possesses an innate, uncanny ability to ‘slow’ your racing and anxious mind down…..it’s hard to explain it but it is palpable and is a real thing =) ….results delivered, so happy I made the decision I did to hire him. There is no overpromising or underdelivering. He tells you like it is…..but in a kind, compassionate way to help reframe your perspective, so you can achieve, as a team, the best possible result under the circumstances. And I was pleased with how he navigated the court system and the courtroom in particular. Bravo…..11 out of 10 stars!
