He is extremely professional and competent. His assistant Chelsea also does an incredible job keeping me in the loop about the status of my case. If you need affordable and serious legal help, I highly recommend attorney Matthew Golden.

Mr. Golden did an amazing job of taking care of my speeding ticket in a school zone. If I had received the full penalty for this ticket, the affect on my insurance would have been detrimental. Mr. Golden was able to take care of the whole thing so that my insurance was not affected! I got regular communication from his office about his appearance in court on my behalf which eased my mind that it was being handled. Thanks so much Mr. Golden! I definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a traffic violation attorney!

This law firm was the most affordable out of the five I contacted. The staff was friendly and professional and my traffic case was handled quickly with a positive outcome. Would recommend this firm to anyone looking for honest, fast, professional, service.

Had a DWI charge, Mr. Golden ended up having it dismissed in "the war of attrition". Took about 18 months, but the officer finally did not show up. Mr Golden was prepared to take it to the Supreme court if I were found guilty, but thankfully it did not come to that. Highly recommend, he does what it takes.

If you are reading this you really need to consider hiring Mr. Matthew Golden. I would consider him and his staff the best in Raleigh, NC.

Matthew Golden is a God send!!! Not Guilty verdict for me today. I was looking at DWI and it wasnt my first so a guilty plea wouldve ruined me. Matthew is a talented and excellent litigator. He showed skill and finesse at my trial. Choosing Matthew as my attorney is one of the best choices Ive made in my life!!!!! Thank you again, Matthew Golden

Mr. Golden represented me for a DWI restoration hearing as a result of multiple DWI convictions. After years of thinking I would never be able to drive again he was able to have my license reinstated. Not only did he do a fantastic job with the hearing. He went back and had one of my previous charges dismissed and expunged! Mr. Golden is very passionate about his work and his clients and very affordable. In my previous experiences I paid other "big named" lawyers in the area twice as much and received less than half the service. Mr. Golden will actually fight for your rights instead offering you a guilty plea. Anyone going through a similar situation, do yourself a favor and give him a call.

Mr. Golden represented me for numerous traffic violations and aided me in getting charges reduced and/or dismissed so that I could regain my driving privileges back after my license had been suspended. I will highly recommend him to anyone who needed assistance in the future.

Results and actions speak louder than words. There are many traffic lawyers out there but Mr. Matthew Golden is one of the best, fantastic lawyer! I hired Mr. Matthew Golden and ended up with the best, excellent outcome (did not have to pay even court fee and fines). Mr. Golden has proven to be an awesome, intelligent and hard-working lawyer, who only works in client’s best interest. Him and his staff are very professional, courteous and caring. Also, there rates are very reasonable. Again, if you need a traffic ticket lawyer, look no further. You will not regret, not at all. This is my very unbiased opinion.

Mr Golden did a fantastic job reaching out to me to apologize for a misunderstanding we had during my case. He was very professional and caring. I am so glad that he cares enough about his clients that he takes time out of his day to make sure each client is satisfied.

If you need a good attorney for a first time DUI case he’s your man! I Had a positive experience with him.

Thank you for making things right. You are a good man! Happy Holidays

Everybody from the top down was super professional. I had access to Mr. Golden at all times and he was always pleasant and answered any questions I had (which were a lot). Not only did they keep me informed with email updates by he went to court for me over 5 times over 9 months to get my ticket DISMISSED! I would and will be recommending him and his office to every person that could benefit from his service.

Due to a bit of a miss judgement in my speed at an airport i got a hefty ticket. Mr. Golden and his staff were very friendly and answered all my questions I had and even though it took some time to resolve, i feel like he did his best to give me the outcome i wanted and didn't settle. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I hope to not need you again, but if i do i'll make sure to come here first.

Dear Mr. Golden

My sincere thanks goes to you for my excellent legal representation. I could not be happier with my results of my dismissal.
You made a very critical difference in my future. As a professional, I had a lot to lose and the level of your legal counsel helped me stay positive. The extra time and effort put forth on your behalf until the end was truly appreciated.

Thanks again for displaying experience and skill to get the best results for me.

A very happy client,

I had an excellent experience with Attorney Golden and his team. I had a couple traffic violations. I never had to step foot in the courtroom and Mr.Golden got the charges dismissed. I was notified of the progress of my cases along the way and his prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend Attorney Golden and I hope I don't need his services in the future, but if I do he will be my go to attorney!

My case is still pending, but so far Mr. Golden has been the best In explaining, being considerate on his rates and personally returning my calls. His staff Cindy and assistant Chelsea have been as great as he has been. I don't know why people come here posting fake bad reviews. I'm sure I will be back to post after my case is settled with many more words of appreciation for Mr. Golden and his staff. Thank you!

Update: 8/8/17 My case was dismissed and I couldn't be happier! Mr. Golden is fantastic! He is a very down to earth attorney, he's the type of attorney who hasn't lost that sense of being personal with his clients. He went to court with me almost every time, and that made me feel even more secure, to me that was the most important thing. To actually be represented by the attorney I chose to contact. He was very informative and was honest with what the outcome could be and what he was going to do to help me as much as possible. Thank you again, thank you SO MUCH!!

Mr. Golden handled a traffic ticket that I received. I was delighted with the service and communication. I will call on Mr. Golden in the future and recommend him to friends and family. The level of communication from his office was outstanding and appreciated. They kept me up to date via concise email correspondence which is most appreciated. Call today--you will not be disappointed.

Slipup wakeup

I had a this worse slipup with being charged for being behind the wheel while under influence. Not driving by sleeping in my parked vehicle.

As one can imagine, its quite a disturbing event, i came across Mr Golden while researching on Avvo/ Google etc.
Noteworthy points influencing my decision to have Mr Golden represent me, he listens to the problem, and considers your unique personal situation too. He took his time, with how he wanted to handle the case, and approach the dates.
He is a well organized thinker, does his research.
He tries to think and adapt this response for a favorable outcome as situation progresses through the engagement.
He saved me!

I highly recommend Mr Matthew Golden for similar situations or any other, you can trust him to go to battle with anytime.

During this processes MrGolden treated me very well and understood my situation quickly. He was able to answer all questions I had. Chelsea, his Legal Assistant did a terrific job on answering my calls and responding to ones that were missed, but not to forget, she was able to converse well in email when ever I needed.

Matthew Golden went to court on my behalf for my charges of Reckless Driving and Speeding. Mr. Golden was able to negotiate a reduction of my speeding ticket from 51 in a 35 to 44 in a 35 and was also able to negotiate a dismissal of my reckless driving charge and failure to update drivers license address. This is a very positive outcome.

Without this positive outcome, I could be without my job and might have had to switch career fields, as I most likely would have lost my license and would have went to court to represent myself. The outcome of that could have been the same but based on my law experience, I most likely would have had a tough time defending my case.

Because of Mr. Golden, he helped preventing my life from changing for the worse. I owe much gratitude to Mr.Golden for the fine job he did.

Thank you!

Attorney Golden was my court appointed attorney. I had several charges . I could have gotten 1-3 years in jail instead i had 40 hrs of community service. he is by far the best defense attorney by far i have ever dealt with. He is an amazing attorney that honestly cares about his clients

Use this attorney he rocks!!!!

These guys are a joke. Then will not update at all about the case. Assistant avoids phone calls. It's been weeks since I heard from them to find out about my case. They were higher then normal that's why I when with them. You know the " You get what you pay for rule" so I went for it. Come
to find out the same results would of happen if I would of payed cheaper. The ONLY time you talk to his helpers is when there trying to get payment. They send you a paper to sign and fees and waivers. Pay them. They continue you case, they tell you that much. Then when it all comes down to the final result you don't get a call , hey we did this or nothing. Not bad talking them but this was my experience and now I have to go and do work myself, as far as finding out the next steps and everything. I could of saved $$ and represented myself!!! Smh

Honestly the best decision I've made in a while for my worst mistake. He took every action he could and did so efficiently. We waited for the right conditions, the right judge, the right amount of time to pass to confront the judge. In the end, my case was dismissed. But what is amazing about this experience was not just Mr. Golden, but the representation he provided in other issues outside of this one ticket and the efficiency of the team. I can not recommend him enough. My only regret is not paying him more than I did. I would have gladly paid double for the outcome my situation. If you are questioning him, I promise you he is one of the best in the area for these types of deals. Do not miss out and go with someone else.

Matt Golden won my case. He made me feel comfortable from the first moment I spoke with him. He treats every one of his clients with respect. Mr. Golden is good at what he does, not only because he is intelligent and knows the law, but also because he is dedicated and loves his job. He is an EXCELLENT trial attorney. You will not find anyone who works harder for you and protects you from every possible angle. Win or lose, you will not find a better lawyer than Matt Golden.

After not getting a speeding ticket since my teens, I got 2 within a six month period. He represented me for my 2nd ticket, which I just knew was going to cost me a small fortune. He was not only significantly cheaper than the first lawyer that I got, he also got the ticket completely dismissed!!!! I would highly recommend him!

Mr. Golden is an excellent, caring attorney. He went above and beyond for me and my situation. I received a speeding ticket back in Oct. 2014 and hired Mr. Golden as my attorney. In Dec. I had to have major reconstructive surgery on my foot which lead to some complications. It required me to still be in a leg cast with crutches 5 months later. At the first court hearing the judge ordered me to do 25 hours of community service. I was not expecting to be in a cast for this long but I really did try my hardest to find a non-profit organization to do my community service with. Unfortunately, no one would allow me to because I was a liability to them if I were to fall in their organization. Mr. Golden was able to get 3 or 4 continuances on my case. Each time he had to go to court on my behalf and didn't charge me a cent more than his original fee. At one time he even offered to refund my money after he had put a lot of time into my case, because the judge wouldn't grant me a POJ as he first expected. We didn't think the judge would change his mind about the community service but somehow Mr. Golden was able to get him to and give me a POJ. I am very grateful to him and his team! I would highly recommend him!!

I disagree completely with the last post, Matthew Golden's office has been nothing professional and extremely helpful. They walked me through every step of my case, and even though it was continued twice they never charged me any thing more then what we originally agreed on.

Attorney Golden was able to get my ticket completely dismissed and for that I am extremely grateful. The thought of having 4 points added to my driving record was my reason for hiring an attorney, and I am so glad I did !!

I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for an experienced attorney call Matthew J. Golden. Don't hesitate at all, you will be very glad you did.

Was hung up on 4 times by secretary. Very disappointed with secretary. Never even got to talk about case. Apparently this firm is highly disorganized. Would not suggest.

Matthew Golden assisted has assisted me thus far with two traffic cases, and has been very patient, and communicative during the entire process. During the initial call, and face to face meeting, he was willing to take the time to answer all of my questions regarding my upcoming cases, and assisted me with weighing the potential options for it.

After my latest case my insurance agency was not willing to actually reduce my premiums, despite the insurance points being removed from my license. As soon as they allowed permission for him to call and talk to them about it, he made them recognize that they had to comply with the laws to drop my rate since the points have been removed since the policy began. He did this over a month after the original case - long after his work should have been completed, going above and beyond what I was expecting.

It is well worth your time to find a lawyer for any form of accident, as your insurance company will take the opportunity to increase your rates wherever they can. I can vouch that Mr. Golden is professional, courteous, and extremely informative attorney who will be able to assist you.

Attorney Matt Golden is a very human and compassionate man. He took my case with little money, and did a fabulous job representing me, and I did not have to go out of town to the courthouse. I would highly recommend him to anyone, as in my opinion, he is truly dedicated to his job , and his client,and gets fair results in the court-room.I give him an A PLUS!
