Testimonials

Matt O’Connor was extremely professional. In a unfortunate case, that left me with complete uncertainty, he was able to calm my anxiety with his demeanor, expertise and background. With high stakes hinging on his abilities, he was able to successfully help me in resolving my case. He was extremely accessible to answer any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire process, leaving me at ease and confident that I had the right representative. As far as his rates for service, they were by far the best after consulting with several other law firms. I am so grateful to have had him in my corner and could not thank him enough for the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend consulting with him, you will not regret it. Although I never intend on needing him again, I would not hesitate reaching out in any matter requiring criminal defense. Thank you Matt. Your service will never go unnoticed.

Grateful for finding a DUI expert. I’ve never had issues with the law until November 2023. Got my first DUI. I was clueless about what to do. I did my research and found the best lawyer. He put my mind at ease, walked me through it all, and even recommended where to take my DUI class. Mr. O’Conner showed up to all my court hearings and DMV proceedings. I did not have to be there. I went to his office, signed papers, and he was good at explaining it all step by step. Always return my calls and emails. Exceptional professionalism at all times. I highly recommend Mr. O’Conner. Took my stress away!

Found Matt when my grandson (we’ve raised him since he was a baby) lost control of our car and drove through a couple’s fence, hitting the owner. It was a felony charge against a juvenile. Matt handled everything and walked us through every step. We were in the process of moving from Santa Clara County to Sacramento County, which added to the complexity. We could not have handled this without Matt’s patience and guidance.

Matt O’Connor made one of the most stressful times of my life much easier than expected. He was my lawyer for roughly a year, and throughout that year, he was attentive, answered my questions, and overall handled my case with professionalism and grace. Not one of my calls wasn’t returned from him, and he would check in on me to make sure all of my business was being handled on time and correctly. 6/5 stars highly recommend this man if you’re ever in need of a lawyer.

If you are charged with a DUI, you absolutely need legal representation. The problem is, if you don’t already know an attorney who’s experienced in this area, you’re completely lost. You have no way to tell who’s really able to handle your situation. That’s where I was a few months ago. After talking to several attorneys, I hired Matt. At the time, I still wasn’t sure I had made the right selection, but he turned out to be absolutely outstanding. Matt has long-term experience in the area, he understands the intricacies of the process, and he knows virtually all of the individuals at DMV and in the Court system who will impact your case. Matt is extraordinarily competent and produced results for me that were amazing. Anyone would be well-served to have him represent their interests. I really couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I was arrested for a DUI in October 2018. I retained Matt’s services shortly after. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only is Matt an excellent lawyer, but his demeanor and personality are exactly what someone needs during a stressful time. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional during the entire process. Matt was my lawyer for roughly a year and a half. During that time, I never had a phone call or an email that was not returned. He was truly there to help. He also made the entire experience manageable. There is a giant amount of information that needs to be processed and I never could have handled it without his services. I highly recommend Matt, and he will continue to be the person I call for years to come.

I needed representation for a DUI and was referred to Matt O’Connor. Under Mr. O’Connor’s guidance, the DMV did not suspend my license, and the DA dropped the charge. Matt O’Connor knows how to navigate the ins and outs of the legal system and provided me with excellent representation. He looks for the “wrinkles” and knows to use those in your defense, which is exactly what he did for me. He connected me with the right expert to evaluate my situation and then, with those favorable results, made it sensible to the DA that it was not worth the court’s time to pursue charges. I heartily recommend Matt O’Connor as your criminal defense attorney for any matter you may require.

I hired Matthew O’Connor after calling and consulting with 10 other attorneys. It was quite an ordeal to sort through the incredible amount of defense lawyers in the area. My son would need a lawyer who was an expert to be able to work through a very difficult situation. Before my son was sent to prison, he had violated his probation. Now it was certain the courts would revoke it and send him back to prison for a very long time. We had very little time to take care of the situation, and I had limited funds. Then I found Mr. O’Connor. After our first conversation, I knew that he was going to be able to help my son. Matthew, who is a former DA, knew the system backwards and forwards. He has worked on both sides of the fence and is able to use that knowledge to help people who are now in trouble with the law. He called and e-mailed almost daily to keep me informed of everything that was happening. The entire process took two weeks, and then it was finished! I cannot express in words the gratitude that I have for this lawyer, who, with his complete expertise in the field of criminal defense, professionalism, and diligence, was able to recall all of my son’s warrants and get him released from his prior probationary responsibilities. What a great experience with a lawyer who was an expert in the field, very professional and prompt, continuously communicated with me, and most of all was so very kind and considerate. I would highly recommend Matthew O’Connor to anyone who needs a great criminal defense lawyer. I will never forget or could ever repay what Matthew has given back to me. My son and his freedom. He is my hero!

What a great experience meeting Matt O’Connor for the first time. He really made me feel comfortable and had a very relaxed conversation about some general life things and then, of course, legal matters. I feel extremely confident having Matt as my attorney!

My DUI went very well and I got lesser charges thanks to Matt. No Suspension, no interlock, no impound, no SR 22. He did everything he said he was going to do and more. He was there through every process, and when he said he was confident that something would happen a certain way, he was right. I got lesser charges because of him, and I’m very thankful for that. I would highly recommend him for your troubles. He gets the job done the way you need it!

To Whom It May Concern. Mr. O’Connor handled my case diligently and thoroughly from start to finish. He was able to help me retain my driver’s license in my state and went out of his way to represent me in Truckee, CA, from his home in Walnut Creek. I appreciate his professionalism and recommend him to others who value the best outcome of their case.

Mr. O’Connor saved my life and my career. He not only made the entire process completely seamless for me, but he was also able to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation. I recommend him to all of my friends and family and would definitely use his services again in the future. Thank you so much!

When I got my DUI, I didn’t really know what to do. I haven’t been on the bad side of the law. I found O’Connor Law on Yelp. I decided that with all the positive reviews, this law firm could help me. So, on a Sunday, Matt O’Connor was willing to meet with me. It was one of the only days I was available. He was upfront and honest about my chances of getting a wet and reckless instead of a DUI. Matt was there every step of my DUI journey. I’m grateful for his help. My DUI did get knocked down to a wet and reckless and no suspended license either. Matt works hard on your behalf. My advice, though, ladies and gentlemen, just get an Uber. But if you find yourself getting a DUI, call Matt O’Connor.

Mr. Matt is one of the best and talented lawyers I have ever seen in my life. He helped me out for a big case, and he was always available to respond to my emails and my calls, always gave me free consultation, and took care of me as a family member. Thanks a lot, Mr. Matt, and God bless you!
