Matthew represented a family member for a very serious DUI charge in California. The DMV was trying to take the drivers license for a year. Matthew got a hearing with the licensing bureau right away and was able to stop the suspension until a hearing was held. At the court hearing he submitted proof that the breath machine was not reliable and got the police officer to admit that he did not know for sure if the test was accurate, he asked the Judge to dismiss the case and she did.

I was arrested for domestic violence charges under section 273.5 and section 243.e.1. After spending nearly 72 hours in jail, I walked out of the LA county jail, I was totally perplexed and didn’t know what to do. By god’s grace I found Matt. No words could describe Matt’s skill and the knowledge of the law. Matt proved to the jury that I was innocent and ensured the case got dismissed. I am truly impressed with the work of Matt, and I would not hesitate to recommend Matt in a heartbeat.

I was facing my fourth DUI as a felony, Matthew not only got the charge dropped to lesser charge, I got no jail time and did not lose my license. His work on my case far exceeded any expectations I had when I first started looking for an attorney, hiring Mr. Ruff was the best decision I could have made.

Matthew is the greatest, his skills at trial were truly remarkable. Matthew stood by me when the DA wanted to send me to jail for child endangerment and DUI in Los Angeles County, he took the case to trial and won, all charges dismissed!
