Matthews Law & Associates

To say Derek is amazing is an absolute understatement. He is the best defense attorney around. He asks for honesty from you and there is absolutely no bs with him. He doesn't sugarcoat at all. He promptly returns your calls and he immediately addresses any concerns you may have. Many people think poorly about defense attorney's, until they are put in a situation where they did absolutely nothing wrong and they need someone to prove that with FACTS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!! I would give him TEN stars if I was able to!

Ever since we moved to Florida, we’ve run into multiple problems with contractors who have worked on our house. David, Derek, and the team at Matthews Law have helped my family and me throughout these ordeals. They’ve been incredibly understanding and never nickel-and-dimed us for their time. Working with them has been a pleasure, even under less-than-ideal circumstances. I highly recommend Matthews Law & Associates to anyone in need of legal help or advice.

Mr. Matthews genuinely cares and stays available throughout the entire process. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and provides clear guidance to help you achieve your goals.

We trusted Matthews Law to help us put together our will. They were outstanding. Their professionalism and kindness really put us at ease. Thanks!!

I was in year 5 dealing with a very complex custody case and felt like there was no end in sight. A close friend referred me to Derek and I went in for a consultation. Derek took a holistic view of my case and showed empathy with my concerns. He helped me understand the complex world of family law and cleared a path for my expectations. Through the process Derek and Denise were always ready to answer any question I had and took every step to ensure I was always up to date on my case. They showed empathy and made me feel like I was heard. After 3 months with Derek I had the agreement I never thought I would get. Words can’t express how thankful I am for everything Matthew’s Law & Associates did for me. They took what I thought was the impossible and made it possible. Thank you again! If you feel like your case is stuck in the mud with no end in sight, I highly recommend giving this team a call. You won’t regret it.

I recently went through a personal matter and was referred to Matthews Law by a friend who spoke highly of them. I’m glad I followed that recommendation — the team was extremely helpful, professional, and knowledgeable across a wide range of legal areas. Derek and his team provided exceptional support throughout the process. I’m 100% satisfied with their service and would highly recommend Matthews Law to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I've been a client of Mr Matthew's for ten years. Every time I've needed him he has been there. Throughout my entire child custody battles to personal cases I've never lost. He has went above and beyond for me and my family, even taken calls on the weekend. I consider him and his team family. Thank you guys for all that you have done for us. I would recommend retaining him for your legal needs.

I had some questions about filing a small claims court and all my questions were answered.

I can’t say enough good things about Matthew Law & Associates. After my car accident, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. From the very first call, they took the weight off my shoulders. Their team was incredibly professional, responsive, and truly cared about my well-being. They guided me through every step of the process and made sure I understood what was happening. Most importantly — they secured a great settlement for me, and much faster than I expected. I always felt like I was in good hands, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. If you’re looking for a law firm that gets results and treats you like a priority, I highly recommend Matthew Law & Associates.

Mr. Matthews and his team are very caring to your situation. They actually want to help you and go above and beyond to get the results you need. I would recommend them to anyone! :)

I am an attorney practicing law in Hillsborough County. I have had several cases against Derek Matthews. He is an excellent attorney, I respect him, and I have referred my clients to him for personal injury matters. He is great to have in your corner.

Working with Derek and team has been great!

Derek and Denise went above and beyond to make me feel valued and supported throughout the whole legal process. From day one, they treated me like family, always taking the time to listen, explain and guide me with care and expertise. Their dedication and compassion gave me confidence and peace of mind, knowing I was in the best hands. I'm incredibly grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled attorney.

Mr Matthews is great! I made sure to follow him to his new company. He’s always been very helpful and informative. I recently visited one of his colleagues in his office and he was very nice and helpful regarding my situation. My go to place.

Mr Matthews is one of these lawyers who will commit to do amazing things to defend what is most precious to you, but he will constantly fail to deliver anything, without a concern. Very nice person at first, but close to be useless on the legal side. Avoid!

I consulted with Derek about questionable ethics that took place in my relative's estate by the executor. I would have to say I highly recommend Derek and his team for probate or estate planning and knowledge. Derek took his time to help me understand how questionable ethics in estates can cause problems and offered some actionable solutions for me and my family. Thank you Derek and your team for being honest, forthright, and taking your time to help me understand this complicated process.
