Attorney Matt Kinney specializes in all forms of criminal law, including driving under the influence (DUI), drug-related, property crimes, juvenile delinquency and other crimes against persons.  He has tried numerous cases before juries and judges, most with successful results.

Criminal convictions affect the lives of people.  In addition to fines and possible jail or prison time, conviction can affect your driver’s license and insurance premiums, your ability to find employment, and your ability to support yourself and your family. 

When clients seek representation for criminal cases, typically three priorities are at stake: (1) their freedom, (2) their criminal or driving record, and (3) the cost of representation.  All states and counties can differ in how judges sentence defendants.  It is important to consider obtaining the services of an attorney who is has up-to-date and extensive knowledge of the legal officers in the area, including the judges, the prosecutors, court personnel, court services/probation officers, law enforcement and correction administrators.

All defendants have the right to counsel as well as to represent themselves.  Whenever your freedom, your driving privileges or your criminal record are in question related to a criminal offense, seek qualified trial attorneys for the best advice on how to proceed.  When a defendant represents him/herself in court, usually only the defendant feels surprised or disappointed at the end of the case.  While most cases do not go to trial, always seek advice from a defense attorney who is versed in jury trials and can thoroughly evaluate your case from all angles.  The attorneys who provide the best service to their clients prepare their clients for all stages of the case and advise the client on how to handle any consequences.  Matt has a reputation for providing excellent personal service to his clients in need, helping them to seek all available alternatives to incarceration, conviction and loss of driving privileges

Your initial inquiries are free of charge and will help you decide how to proceed with your case.  The most satisfied clients are those who leave their attorney’s office knowing their options and what to do next.  As an attorney, helping your clients avoid confusion, anxiety and inexperience with the legal system is an overriding goal of Matt’s practice.
