The firm takes particular pride in its frequent role as "lawyers' lawyers" as the firm has had the honor of representing many of the area's lawyers and law firms who find themselves personally involved in litigation. Matthews, Eastmoore, Hardy, Crauwels & Garcia also takes great pride in representing a variety of governmental clients. Primary among these is the School Board of Sarasota County to which Lamar Matthews has served as general counsel since 1986. The firm has also had the privilege of representing a number of other governmental bodies including Sarasota County, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Department, the Office of the County Attorney, Sarasota County's Administrator, the Sarasota-ManateeAirport Authority, and the City of Gainesville.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
