“I was in an abusive relationship. My baby’s father was an abusive drug user who would not let me leave the house. I was in fear for my life. One day, without hesitation, I got in my car and drove away. He chased after me. I was in hiding when I received notice that he was trying to get joint legal decision making and equal parenting time. I hired Tony to help me at trial. We won. It was such a great feeling.”

“Our brother was arrested and charged with a crime that could result in life in prison. The State offered him a plea deal to seven and one-half (7^1/2) years in prison. My brother was innocent and needed an aggressive attorney to fight for him. We chose Matt at Gonzales & Poirier. Matt fought for our brother and saved his life. After trial, our brother was found not guilty and freed from jail.”

“I was arrested for extreme DUI. It was my first time going to jail, much less being in trouble. I had a permanent visa to be in the US and could be deported if I was found guilty. Matt believed in me and negotiated the dismissal of the extreme DUI. I plead guilty to a reckless driving, which did not impact my visa.”
