WHAT WE’RE ABOUT
Honest, hardworking, passionate and professional are words clients have used to describe our Criminal & DUI Defense Law Firm. The Law Offices of Matthew S. Luzaich strives to achieve excellent results while at the same time maintaining the personalized service we are reputed for.
Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful events a person can go through in life. The mission of our office is to provide personal, compassionate, and above all, zealous and effective representation for our clients.
It‘s our goal to achieve the best result possible while minimizing the scarring effect the criminal justice system can have on a person.
ADVOCATES & COUNSELORS
Criminal defense is like no other profession and it requires more than just an understanding of the law and court system. Counseling our clients is an important aspect of our work. We understand the impact on your life the process will have. This is a service-oriented profession, and a lawyer who cannot also be a counselor will be an ineffective representative. Being charged with a crime is a life-changing experience, and retaining an attorney who cares about how this experience will be remembered should be a top concern for you.
We are not former prosecutors or police officers. We are criminal defense lawyers dedicated solely to the practice of criminal defense and have advocated on behalf of only the accused since day one.
