He got them to drop all drug posession charges against me:
You don't ever want to be arrested for marijuana possession like I did, trust me. I was hanging out with people who I thought were my friends, which is bad enough as it is. It took a long time to convince my mom that it wasn't my pot, and that I was only drinking beer. Personally I don't have anything against pot, but I shouldn't take the fall for something I didn't even do! Anyway, I guess you find out who your real friends are when it all comes down to the threat of jail time.
My mom asked around for a good criminal defense attorney, and her sister recommended Matt Shrum. He's already pretty known as one of the best DWI lawyers in Austin, but I had no idea what his track record was for marijuana possession. I suppose it's all criminal defense, but I wanted to make sure that he was as good at defending people like me like the way he defended accused drunk drivers.
Well, I really shouldn't have doubted him, because he did a great job defending me and got the drug charges dropped! Me and my mom don't have much money, so Matt helped us work out a reasonable payment plan, which means a lot to me. That's a small price to pay for freedom, that's for sure.
If you need a great local lawyer to help defend you if you ever get arrested, I would have to recommend Matt Shrum. He's a hell of an attorney, and his fees are reasonable, even if he isn't cheap. So if you want to keep your freedom and your record straight, I don't see how you could go anywhere else.
