"Matt saved our family"In a legal system full of “check the box” mentality, Matt Eichelberger cares about the truth. When our family came under attack, Matt stepped in and heard our side of the story, balanced against the facts of the case, and he walked fearlessly along with us until the court system’s error was revealed. We shudder to think of what would have happened to us without his counsel and expertise. Our case was unique in many aspects and involved a family court component in which he liaised with our family law attorney. He was invaluable in both sets of proceedings. We pray you never find yourself in the dire situation of needing a criminal defense attorney, but if you do, we strongly recommend you speak with Matt Eichelberger – immediately.- Criminal Defense Client
