Got me Exonerated

I will never forget the amazing teamwork CDH Law firm did on my behalf such as, informing me of the best option to take in resolving my case. Taking the time to critically analyze the police report and listening and trusting my side of the story. Throughout the course of my case they were prompt and attentive. Bottom line is their legal expertise and professionalism is what got me exonerated. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that their fees were reasonable. Thanks again guys!

Look NO further for a DWI attorney!
10 / 10

Look NO further for a DWI attorney! Hands down, Clifton Carden is “the man”! I have a very good job and travel the country for work, so having a regular liscence is a necessity. I was pulled over for a traffic infraction and it went south from there. Aressted and charged with four charges including DWI. (First timer) Through a very good friend, I found out about Clifton. After talking to Clifton (On a Saturday), he put me at ease and I hired him immediately. We sat down, made a plan and commenced to carry out that plan. Long story short, he saved my job, my house, my livelihood! I was completely blown away by what he did for me and my family and will be forever grateful! He is a professional to the enth degree! Semper Fi Cliff !!

He exceeded what I was expecting.
10 / 10

My son received a DWI late on a Friday night. I was extremely upset and didn’t know what to do, who to call and thought nothing would ease my fears until at least Monday. I called around to some people I know and it was suggested to call Clifton. I didn’t really expect him to call me back on a Saturday but much to my surprise he called me right after I left a message. He calmed my fears and assured me that he would do everything in his power to help my son. He explained in detail all the steps that we would need to take and he would be there all the way until it is resolved. He kept his promise and we had an amazing outcome. He exceeded what I was expecting. Thank you Clifton for EVERTHING!!

He is quick, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
10 / 10

My daughter sat in jail for over 6 weeks, waiting for her PD to work on her case. I went to see Matt and within 1 1/2 days he accomplished what the other guy had not done in 6 weeks. From the first time I met with Matt he seemed to want to know what was going on with my daughter beyond her legal trouble. He is quick, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I hope I never need a criminal attorney again, but if I did he would be my first call.

Definitely top-notch!
10 / 10

Mr. Hammond proved to be efficient and very effective, always professional but friendly and accessible. His recommendations were excellent as was the outcome. Definitely top-notch!

Communicates in a very clear and concise manner

It would certainly be beneficial for you to speak with Clifton, before making any decisions to hire an attorney. He provides practical solutions and communicates in a very clear and concise manner. When I spoke with him, he told me my rights under the law. He made me aware of the maximum punishment, if convicted. He was able to negotiate a favorable plea agreement on my behalf. A simple conversation with Clifton can make all the difference!

I could easily trust Matthew to handle my cases.

We were ecstatic with the final result
10 / 10

Clifton Carden worked with our family to procure the most favorable outcome for my son in a matter that occurred not only in another county but also several years in the past. We were ecstatic with the final result, and the professional manner that was used throughout the process. Step-by-step, my son was made aware of what was happening and what would happen in the future so as to alleviate his stress in this matter. Thank you to all the staff for a very satisfactory result, and should there be any other matters in the future for our family or others, we will surely contact Clifton Carden again or recommend him to others.

He was very excellent and did a great job
10 / 10

Mr. Dotzler helped me out on two occasions. He got both of by tickets either dropped or reduced to a non-moving violation and no points on my license.

I doubt there is anyone better.
10 / 10

GI cannot thank Clifton and his firm enough for the outstanding job they did handling my wife’s vehicle and traffic case. As a practicing litigation attorney I know how difficult it is to achieve a favorable result for your client. This matter was handled in a highly professional manner. We were advised and consulted with every step of the way. We placed our trust in their hands and they responded brilliantly. I highly recommend Clifton and will refer his firm to other attorneys and friends.

I will definitely hire him again
10 / 10

I received a traffic ticket in a different county and was told by the prosecutor there that I had to accept points on my license or go to trial. Matt was able to get through to a prosecutor and negotiate a dismissal of my ticket! He worked fast, kept me informed every step of the way, and was very polite and professional. With that level of service for just a traffic ticket, I will definitely hire him again if I ever need a lawyer.
