If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. I recently worked with Nick, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I came to him on a Friday with my court date just a week away, and he jumped into action immediately. Despite being relatively new to the field, his dedication was remarkable. He worked tirelessly through the weekend to prepare my case, demonstrating a level of commitment that truly impressed me.
Nick’s thoroughness and attention to detail made all the difference. He kept me informed throughout the process and provided clear, actionable advice. Thanks to his hard work and strategic thinking, we achieved a successful outcome in court.
If you’re looking for a passionate and capable lawyer who will go the extra mile for you, Nick is the one to choose. His newness in the profession is no obstacle—he is a true asset. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.
After struggling for 8 years and getting denied time after time as well as going through 3 lawyers prior I decided to hire Marcus with Garske Hewitt and I could not be happier that I made that decision. Marcus got my license back the first try. I wish I had done my research and hired him to start with, definitely recommend him.
If you want a lawyer who knows the court system, and cares about his clients do not hesitate to hire Matthew Hewitt. I had a landcontract issue and had been to court 3 times over a course of three years without getting the results I deserved. Matthew Hewitt got me the justice I deserved with our first court date. Thank You So Much Matt.
