I am a licensed California attorney. I retained Matthew Higbee's firm to expunge my son's criminal records, and I find his firm's services to be outstanding. Everything they advertised was true. The work was prompt, professional and very reasonably priced, and the results were everything we could have asked for. Any questions I had were quickly answered by the case manager or staff attorney. So I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr. Higbee to others.

Client Testimonials

"Thank you very much for all of your help. You have been just wonderful and I appreciate everything that you have done for me during this process."
