They found inconsistencies in the arrest report that ended up getting the case dismissed. I can’t thank them enough for giving me a second chance.

The attorneys at this firm believed me when it felt like no one else did. They treated my case with respect and urgency, and in the end, the charges were dropped completely.
S.R.
2025
Their digital forensics team broke everything down, found evidence that cleared me, and kept the case from ever becoming formal charges.

I am writing this review 7 hours after getting a not guilty verdict on a 2nd degree murder charge in the most conservative parish in Louisiana. ... Matt was the MVP of this trial, hitting a game winner. After breaking down and dissecting the State’s case in 24 hours, Matt patiently explained anything I would need to tear apart the State’s cell phone expert. He found key pieces of evidence that supported our theory, giving us maximum credibility with the jury. Matt’s expertise is the supplement to our trial strategy that we have been searching for. He evens the playing field by dissecting and translating cell phone data.
