The Law Offices Of Donald J. Matson, PC

Wouldn’t recommend.

Very dependable! Ten years ago, Don got my traffic matter in Pasadena Court dismissed. Ten years later, I have another traffic matter, and went straight to Don, knowing he’d be on top of things!

I've had the privilege of working with Don for many years now, and I can confidently say he's the best in the business. Over the course of our relationship, he has successfully fought every single one of my traffic tickets--and got them all dismissed. His expertise, professionalism, and command of the legal system are simply unmatched. But beyond his legal acumen, what truly sets Don apart is his warmth and humanity. He doesn't just act like a lawyer--he feels like a trusted friend and counselor, someone who genuinely cares about your well-being and goes the extra mile to guide you through stressful situations with calm and clarity. If you're looking for someone who delivers real results and treats you like family along the way, Don is your guy. I recommend him without reservation.

I was in a need of an attorney after receiving a bogus ticket with the Sierra Madre Police Department. A cop had nothing else better to that one morning which led me to receiving a "No U-Turn In A Business District" if lost, would net you a point on your record on top of a fine of close to $300. He at first texted me and I didn't get back to him that same day, he made a second attempt which most places won't even do. He gave me FREE quality advice on top of assuring me that the cop won't show to my court date. Normally I don't believe in reviews too much, but this guy really does earn his 5 star. He's getting another from this guy who normally does reviews to vent out my frustration instead of praising said business. Since he went out of his way to help me, I would say it would be fair to return the favor. A+ and I don't say this lightly.

I usually do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience for anyone facing the stress of serious legal threats—call attorney Donald Matson! He took the time to listen, thoroughly analyze the situation, and explain potential scenarios and outcomes with exceptional expertise, clarity, patience, and empathy. He even responded promptly to my text at Friday evening family dinner time! He restored my faith in humanity!

As someone that doesn't meet attorneys often, I absolutely love Donald. I was in a difficult place and not really knowing how the law worked - Donald stepped up and made sure to assure me of the outcomes of my case. He represented me like I was his own family member and took the time to answer every single answer I had. I truly recommend Donald and his services!

Every time I need some legal advice I immediately reach out to Don! He always takes the worry away from stressful situations whether it’s regarding law or another individual. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him when you need help!

Pasadena's foremost criminal defense lawyer.

Just wow!! i'm eternally thankful for the work Don Matson has done for me and the horrible charges against me. He goes above and beyond what is expected and responds incredibly fast. It's extremely rare to meet people who remain passionate and determined. Knowledgable, sweet, and kind. If you're ever in trouble, he's the man to call.

Great lawyer humble person

Attorney Don Matson is very personable and knowledgeable. He is very quick in his response and very efficient with his work. You can definitely trust him with your case, I highly recommend his service.

I’m a verified customer and fan of Don Matson. I’ve used his services twice over several years. He was able to get one speeding completely dismissed and the other reduced so there was no impact on insurance or driving record. Two for two! Worth the money to avoid having auto insurance increased for three years! Great service.

I found my self in a horrible legal situation. Went on google desperately trying to call every number that showed up on line for criminal defense lawyers.. someone must have prayed for me & sent me Don Matson, because he literally saved me from bogus charges that could of ruined my entire life. He picked up my call on a SATURDAY, not some machine, secretary or paralegal. I spoke to him directly for over an hour. He explained to me in detail the situation, what could happen & what he could do for me. I felt relief for the first since getting arrested after talking to him. When Don tells you “I treat every case like it was me” he really means it. Not only did I hire the best criminal defense lawyer around I also gained a friend. If you’re looking Around worried out of your mind like I was. Worry no more & CALL Don. He guided me every step of the way. I never felt lost in the long process. He was always in contact with me & we always went over everything in detail before we had court. Hire Don if your situation sounds like the one I had.

Let me start by saying I NEVER write reviews…..the only reason I’m writing this one, is because it is well deserved. After quite a few bad life choices, made by yours truly, I ended up in jail. Why? Well, because for one…I had a warrant out for my arrest for never appearing in court for a possession ticket I received a year prior, and two…I got into a physical argument with someone. I’m honestly glad I got Don as my lawyer. Not only was he able to get my DV case dropped to simple battery, but he also convinced the judge to give me DEJ classes, instead of a drug charge on my record, for the possession case. What I liked most about Don, is that he never gave up on me. I can’t even tell you how many times I got kicked out of my DV class, as well as my DEJ class, and had to go back to see the judge to get reinstated. Luckily, Don was always able to persuade the judges into giving me another chance. Thanks again Don! I appreciate you! -J. Villalobos

Attorney Don and his team are diligent in getting the job done. They provided updates consistently, leaving me assured that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. The court day, Don updated me with every detail. Thank you to Don and the entire staff.

Don was working on my case for 1.5 yrs and basically got me off! Hes the real deal

Don has been the best attorney. He is extremely reliable, honest, realistic, and someone I have trusted over years. I could not have been more blessed to have his help when I needed it most.
