“Before I hired Tony to help me with my serious criminal case, I was facing a felony conviction and prison time. My plea offer required me to do 30 days in jail. I couldn’t go to jail, and the thought of jail terrified me. For months, I couldn’t sleep. Tony reassured me and worked hard on my case. One year after I was arrested, Tony got my case dismissed.”

“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.”
