I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt, an exceptional lawyer who not only proved his competence but also displayed unwavering dedication to my case. As someone who has dealt with numerous lawyers due to a challenging divorce, I can confidently say that Matt stands head and shoulders above the rest. From the get-go, Matt's responsiveness to my messages was impressive. Regardless of when I reached out to him, I could always expect a prompt and detailed reply. This level of communication was particularly crucial during my case, as it involved multiple criminal charges, two warrants, and navigating the complexities of the Colorado legal system. Not once but twice, Matt successfully defended me in a criminal trial. His expertise and ability to strategize in real-time were evident throughout the process. He went above and beyond by directly engaging with the District Attorney, resulting in the charges being dropped on both occasions. Despite being on the expensive side, Matt's competency, professionalism, and dedication to my case made the investment well worth it. Ultimately, he helped me clear my record and put an end to the nightmare I had been enduring due to false charges and a vengeful ex-wife. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt for anyone in need of top-notch legal representation. His combination of skill, experience, and commitment ensures that you are in the best possible hands. Don't hesitate to hire him ? you won't regret it.

Highly recommend Matt and his firm based on our experience. He represented our 21 year old daughter on a serious charge, and achieved a way better than we had expected or hoped for result, thanks to his connections with high-quality and effective experts, strategic guidance for specific actions our daughter should take to improve her case, and his strong knowledge of and working relationships with the Fort Collins and Larimer County courts, district attorney office and personnel, judges, etc. We are thankful to have found him and that he was so responsive from our first (Saturday morning) phone call forward.

Matthew Haltzman and the team he has built for his firm did a fantastic job with my case. This firm was recommended to me by a close friend of mine. Mr. Haltzman is quick to respond to even the simplest questions or concerns and keeps the best interest of his clients in mind. During the period that I was a client, I was also navigating the law school admissions process. Mr. Haltzman went above and beyond to assist with any questions and to offer advice. I give Haltzman Law Firm the upmost recommendation for any type of criminal, personal injury, or DUI related cases one might find themselves in.

I have been a lawyer in Denver for over 40 years. I needed help in Ft. Collins with a client's case. Matthew did an outstanding job and negotiated a terrific plea for our client. I would use Matthew again for any legal work I need in Ft. Collins and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer!

We hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do look no further. Matthew Haltzman is the best, not just the best in town, but I would say the best in Colorado. He is extremely responsive, confident and his work is impeccable. After an accident we had no idea where to turn for the legal and insurance implications. He explained everything and fought for us above and beyond our expectations.

I engaged Matt Haltzman to represent my son. I knew nothing about him except a few positive reviews on line. Matt and his office mate Lance both worked on our behalf and I was impressed. Every text message, email or phone call was answered quickly with no additional charge. They kept us updated on the status of the case and produced a positive end result. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do it will be Matt Haltzman.

Mr. Haltzmann is an excellent lawyer for anyone dealing with driving related charges in Fort Collins. He seems to have a very good grasp of the people and procedures involved with the local court system. If you have a CDL or drive commercially I highly recommend utilizing this law firm when you need to protect your career. Mr. Haltzmann was able to reduce a rather serious charge to a minor technicality that won't even factor into insurance or CDL employment. His legal knowledge combined with his calm demeanor make him the go-to choice for any driving related issues in the Fort Collins area.

From first contact i knew this is who i wanted working for me! I spoke with about 10 other firms in fort collins, and never felt like i found the one until i spoke with Mr. Haltzman . You get what you pay for, and Haltzman Law Firm earned every dollar i spent, and maybe even went beyond. From answering calls and emails on Sundays, to just hearing me vent somedays. Matthew was always there. He never over promised anything, and was realistic, but i can say from my heart he over performed. His fresh knowledge and relationship with the DA is second to none. I truthfully held back tears writing this review because Haltzman Law firm gave me another chance at life!! I will forever be grateful!

Matthew Haltzman was an absolute pleasure to work, with from the moment I called to inquire about his services until verdict was rendered. Despite all logic and reason to the contrary, Mr. Haltzman was able to save my license from being suspended at the DMV hearing and, without a doubt, got me the best possible outcome in my court case, one that would have had no chance at all had I tried going it alone. For me, one of the most important things Mr. Haltzman did was very honestly explain everything to me while he patiently and calmly guided me through the process and all the paperwork. As someone who has never been in trouble with the law before, this was all quite terrifying, but having a knowledgeable and kind professional who would respond to my emails or phone calls in no time was great for my mental health. Thanks to Matthew my future is not in jeopardy because of one mistake and, for me, that is priceless. I could not more highly recommend Mr. Haltzman to anyone seeking legal assistance; he is top-notch, as a lawyer and as a person.

I had a pretty serious and complicated criminal legal issue being prosecuted by the Fort Collins District Attorney in Larimer County. My longstanding business and estate planning attorney highly recommended Matthew at Haltzman Law Firm. Mr. Haltzman started working on the case right away. He did an exceptional job and took care of everything. I am so glad I got the referral to call his office. Highly recommend this law firm.

Matthew helped our family in an elder financial exploitation case. He very quickly was able to ascertain how best to proceed. Having less than a week to prepare for the court proceeding, Matthew was not deterred. His mastery of law is apparent. We found Matthew to be a very approachable, down to earth individual. We would highly recommend him!!

Haltzman Law Firm is an excellent law firm. Matthew handled our case expertly and with kindness. He is so easy to communicate with and so competent. We had complete faith in him and he had our entire (criminal) case dismissed before going to trial. We barely had to do anything, he took care of everything with professionalism. He really saved us, we would have been in a terrible situation were it not for him. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Matt, it was an absolute pleasure working with you!

Haltzman law firm represented me on a pretty serious traffic ticket, speeding in a construction zone, and his result were outstanding! Def would recommend Matt to anyone. I also would like to say, that as a transgender person dealing with constant discrimination, such as purposeful misgendering, Matt was an amazing ally on that front consistently correcting the court for me. He also took my mental illness into account and made sure to do his best to assist me and help me along the way. I thought that was worthwhile to share for any of the trans and or neurodivergent community looking for a lawyer who cares in this area.

Long story short I got rear-ended in a hit and run. I found Matthew with a quick Google search and it was easily the best decision I made post accident. We met a day or two later and he immediately got me set up with a quality chiropractor and concussion specialist. From start to finish Matt was in communication with me and guided me through all the legal aspects. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

We chose Matthew Haltzman out of 3 local attorneys for representation. From our first meeting to case closed, his expertise and kindness was front and center. If something mattered to us, it mattered to him. We got a small win and then a lucky break. We couldn?t have asked for a better outcome or a brighter, more genuine guy working our case. Matthew is a star in his field. We give him 5 ??????????

Not really sure how to start or what to say. I know very little about law. Very little was communicated to me by officers and others. He helped me understand what was going on and how things worked. When my case started there was already a good chance that it would be thrown out by the DA. For whatever reason the DA decided not to drop it and he gave me the truth about what my options were but was also considerate of how I was feeling while doing so. Very kind. Also didn?t give up. Also helped me find some clarity in all this crazy. He successfully got the DA to drop the charges and proved they were false. My voice was taken from me and he was my voice for me. Happy to be moving on from this and leaving it behind me.
