Law Office of Matthew Peterson

I was arrested in March and held on a $200,000 bail—no bail bonds in Massachusetts, so you need real money. I didn’t have it, so I sat in jail facing mandatory minimums and heavy time.

From day one, Attorney Matthew Peterson looked me in the eye and said, “Let me get you outta here and back to the free world.” He fought hard to get my bail lowered, and little by little, he knocked that $200k down—all the way to $7,500. After 9 months, he asked, “Can you pay that?” I said yes. He said, “You’ll be home.” And I was.

He was always reachable. I could text him at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night and have a reply by Sunday. What lawyer do you know who answers on a Sunday? That alone tells you how serious he is.

We prepped for trial, filed motions, had a full game plan. He was ready to destroy the first case—easy work for him. But the second charge was...

I had a great experience speaking with Elijah from the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson. Elijah was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. He took detailed notes about my case and went above and beyond by diligently pulling court records to better understand my situation. Although I ultimately did not proceed with the firm due to timing reasons, I truly appreciated the professionalism and care shown during our initial conversation. Elijah made a strong impression, and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to this office again in the future.

“From the beginning of my journey with the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson, Office Assistant Earl was incredibly thorough, consistent, and helpful. His professionalism set a positive tone right from the start. Attorney Chris O’Brien was equally impressive—his confidence and detailed breakdown of my case instantly put me at ease. He helped alleviate my stress and worry with his clear guidance. I truly believe I made the best decision in choosing this firm!”

Elijah was extremely helpful and it was late. He is definitely a hard worker. Thank you

I had an outstanding experience with the Law Office of Matthew Peterson. Attorney Peterson was both pleasant and highly knowledgeable, taking the time to truly understand my case and committing to work diligently on my situation. His professionalism and clear communication gave me confidence in the process ahead. His assistant, Earl, was equally impressive—courteous, efficient, and well-organized. I genuinely look forward to working with this firm and highly recommend them to anyone seeking committed legal representation.

The best attorney I've ever had and I've had quite a few unfortunately. Matthew went above and beyond had my case dismissed. Extremely highly recommend Matthew w Peterson. You want Justice give him a call...

10/10 legal services. Can't recommend enough. Mr. Manchinton, went to BAT for me. He was very transparent and always kept me in the loop. He let me know all the possibilities and never gave me a sense of false hope. The whole team kept me informed on dates and time and it was overall a spectacular experience. Thanks for everything Bill! I will be calling you in the future (hopefully not :p)

Que Dios lo bendiga siempre excelenticimo trabajo gracias abogado matthew w peterson infitas gracias 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Matthew is the man!!

BLUF: After fighting through a 2-part, 2.5 year battle that 20 lawyers (no lie) said I’d lose, he won both my cases with dismissals! And though it was another fight, he got all my daddy’s bail money back too!!

DETAILS (Worth the read):
While passing through Boston on a month long motorcycle trip, I unexpectedly found myself in a pinch. After my public defender actually offended me with insults, was repeatedly unresponsive, gave weak defense options & said I was guilty, I knew I had to find someone else! My family & I retained Matthew Peterson and I’m still praising Jah for him 👏🏾
As I don't live in MA, I was unaware my state's gun permit would not suffice for traveling through Boston. Why they expect non-residents to get a Mass permit is beyond me… and reasoning. They could easily put it on the state sign, but its...

Great service and amazing experience in general, thank you 🙏🏼

Just got out of a recent case and I must say Matthew did his thing. He made sure that all my questions and concerns were answered and he reassured me every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better Lawyer. If you're not cheap and want a great lawyer he's your guy.
