I highly recommend Matt. I was very grateful that I was able to reach out to him, as I was completely lost, and he made everything very clear and supportive throughout my case. He was very professional, helpful, and guided me through the entire process. Thank you so much !
Fantastic attorney services. Mr. Leyba was timely and made sure to explain each next steps and would always follow up with me before anything major happened. He also fought for a great settlement. Can't recommend him enough!
Top criminal defense attorney in King county, Seattle, Bellevue area. Great negotiation skills, very knowledgeable on the laws. Have a great network of immigration attorneys, mental health professionals etc etc. flexible and very accommodating. Very professional, responsive, flexible, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I’m truly grateful for his guidance and support throughout the process and getting it dismissed.
I am a criminal defense attorney that has worked collaboratively with Mr. Leyba on several matters and have previously worked with him as opposing counsel. Not only is he one of the strongest and most experienced DUI advocates in the area, he is also an exceptional negotiator and trial attorney. I would highly recommend his services.
This was my first (and hopefully last) time being in legal trouble. It’s a scary and isolating thing but Matthew made the whole process a lot more tolerable. He is quick to reply to any text or email. He is reassuring. He is competent. If you find yourself in a similar situation to me (charged with DUI), please reach out to Matthew for legal counsel. 10/10
