No, he's not some young guy or guy with a catchy radio commercial or phone number. He is busy. He is honest...an honest lawyer. He keeps it real. How many lawyers do that?
He, in a matter of 10 minutes got the judge to drop the Felony, and release my ex from custody . Ten minutes of speaking and BAM. Out of custody.
He wrote a very eloquent statement to the DMV to assist with the DMV hearing so my ex didn't loose his license .
Mr.Matsuk compiled officers' body cam footage, reports, and my ex's medical records to make a case for him being truly innocent. This isn't cheap to do, but worth it to avoid loosing your livelihood.
We are still awaiting a trial, but I am coonfident that Mr. Matsuk will be successful in thst forum.
If I am EVER accused of a crime, this is the ONLY person I'd trust to take the best care of my case!!
This misdemeanor conviction had some serious immigration liabilities for my Godson. The only way to remove this conviction was to put a motion before the Judge to get the original conviction overturned or dismissed by the court.
Leonard explained that there would be several roadblocks to overcome in a case like this. Generally, prosecutors and Judges do not like to go back and dismiss a conviction. So knowing it would be a challenge I believed Leonard would do his best.
And he did, with Leonard’s legal knowledge and strategy along with all the good and positive contributions documented about my Godson giving back to our community. The motion was put together by Leonard.
In the end, Leonard presented the motion to dismiss to the Lead Prosecutor and they did not block it. I was in the court last week when Leonard Matsuk addressed the motion before the judge, he answered the judge’s questions. The prosecutor advised the judge they were not blocking the motion.
And the court room challenge was over, the judge overturned or vacated the original conviction thanks to Leonard Matsuk and his legal skills and knowledge.
So here is my perspective on this case, and of Leonard’s work. Leonard was honest and upfront from the beginning about this case. He explained to us the challenges involved and the slim possibility of success with this matter. However always pleasant and in a down to earth manner, Leonard answered our concerns, he was available by phone and email. So I extend my gratitude to Leonard Matsuk for a job well done. I highly recommend his legal services, he is a good person! Oh and Sue who is his Legal Assistant is awesome too! Thank you, both.
ALL CHARGES DROPPED!!
ZERO PROBATION!!
CLEAN RECORD!!
DO NOT HESISTATE IN CONTACTING HIM IF YOU HAVE A CRIMINAL CASE!
I was then immediately arrested for public drunkenness. This puff chested little dweeb refused to answer when asked if it was because my car cost more than his annual salary. No girlie man here, so off to the Long Beach jail I went. Sometime later I offered to take the test, which I was unable to pass, failing in fact by a very small margin. Leonard informed me, to my amazement, that blood alcohol levels continue to climb for more than an hour after your last drink and I probably would have passed if I had complied with the officer's request when initially pulled over. But what the heck, are we mice or men?
I knew I was in danger of spending 10 grand if convicted, plus loss of license, restrictions, insurance rate hikes, as well as the social stigma of being a drunken killer loose on the highway. The more I thought about it the worse it became. My anxiety was approaching the need for a couple of weeks of restorative work on the psych ward of my choosing. I made inquiries with trusted friends, a couple of whom suggested Leonard Matsuk. A call was placed, an appointment arranged, and I began to feel a little better.
Leonard's approach was direct and straight forward. He laid out plans for both fighting the offense in court and the possibility of a reduced charge. He, and his staff, were quick to return calls and provide quotes for all facets of my defense. Eventually all was decided in court exactly as he had anticipated on our first meeting, the outcome my now well informed self was also expecting. It was uncanny how Leonard predicted what prosecuting attorneys would do at every turn, meeting them prepared and confident. I felt I was very well represented and was provided timely and factual information as to how the courts operated. Leonard even offered to include a defense at a DMV hearing at no additional charge. He appeared, again at no additional charge, on a ticket issued 30 days after the 1st matter for driving in the initial 30 day restriction: all praise to our ever efficient DMV. I mixed up the dates. The charges were (1) driving on a restricted license, and (2) speeding, 82 mph on the 605. Definitely driving license suspension time and perhaps a little jail time to awaken the idiot within. All charges were DISMISSED.
Regardless of your situation, innocent as a lamb (the story you tell your wife), or guilty as sin (the story you tell your attorney, Leonard), DO NOT GO TO COURT UNREPRESENTED. Only a complete wanker shows up without an attorney if there is even the remotest possibility of even one night in jail. Don't do it. Call Leonard.
My experience is similar to those who referred me on to Leonard's practice. We all needed a knowledgeable lawyer of integrity, of strong character, of substantial experience in the local courts, a man who wouldn't require us to hock our gold teeth for settlement of his charges, and importantly, a man of the world experienced enough to use every last loophole, trick, and guise known to mankind. I'm a little older than he, mid 60s as of now, and I've seen my share of the belly of the beast if you get my drift. Leonard knows the drill, period!
If you need to understand your OPTIONS and want the WORRIES about your grim future TO DISSAPEAR, if you need an ear biting Mohammed Ali type heavy weight in your corner, and you're looking for a superior representation in the South land courts at affordable rates, believe me, Leonard Matsuk is your Man.
Cheers,
