Matthew Portella came highly recommended to me and let me just say that his reputation proceeded himself! I would consider him by far the best lawyer in South Jersey. He worked endlessly on my case and fought for me until the end. He ended up getting my cases dismissed when that was considered a long shot considering my charges. I can’t say enough good things about how great of a lawyer he is. I recommend that if you ever need a lawyer to call him, definitely one of the best in the business and can’t thank him enough for his hard work and dedication.

When my company expanded into the New Jersey market, I called upon Matt with some legal issues. He not only achieved a positive outcome, he was a pleasure to deal with. He made a potentially nerve wracking situation manageable. Although I hope to never need legal services again, if I do, I will call upon him.

Great attorney,, returns call really cares about your situation would reccomend highly!!!!! Not enough stars available....

Matthew is an exceptional attorney and was diligent in the handling of our Traffic Offense Case while achieving the best possible outcome for us. His knowledge, professionalism and regular status communications about our case made us feel at ease and left us with the confidence that we chose the right attorney for the task at hand. I have worked with many different attorneys in my profession of the years and I suggest you speak with Matthew directly and experience for yourself why his client success rate is greater than that of typical attorneys in his fields of specialization. Do yourself a favor and give him a call and decide for yourself.

Our experience with Mr. Portella was a very positive one. He thoroughly reviewed our matter with us in person and was very easy to communicate with. He represented our interests which resulted in a satisfying outcome. Matt Portella comes with out highest recommendation.

Matt Portella came recommended to me by a mutual friend in the judicial system. My case seemed hopeless, but thanks to Matt, it was resolved with a better outcome than I even thought possible. He practically worked a miracle. The judge made it a point to tell me “you better thank your attorney” for such a favorable ruling. When I was leaving court, two other people that were there stopped me on the way out to ask me for Matt’s contact information because they’d heard what the judge had said to me. Matt is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated - he is the lawyer that other lawyers recommend! I am unbelievably lucky and eternally grateful. Without a doubt, I will call Matt to represent myself and my family for any future matters. A thousand “thank you”s would not be enough.

Destroyed my daughters life.

I couldn’t have gotten a better out come! I highly recommend him. His team and his self are amazing people and help you anyway they can! I couldn’t have got a better Attorney. Thank you.

I thoroughly endorse Matt and his team. I was extremely fortunate to have Matt suggested to me, he was absolutely the right attorney and person I might add. His thorough knowledge of the process / workings of the legal system was just what my case required. His staff kept me appraised of everything and put my concerns to rest. He told me what to expect and what my options could be, and in the end, it worked out as he projected. He sees all angles and possibilities, nothing is standard to him, there are always possibilities. MVP’s confidence, professionalism and positive outlook throughout it all, helped me keep my sanity. I am very thankful for the result he got me. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

We ran into some legal issues and the first person I called was Matt. He represented a family member in the past and I trust that he has his client's best interest at heart. He is very knowledgeable of the law and past cases which is a HUGE benefit to your counsel and defense. I think my anxiety would have been through the roof if not for Matt. If you EVER need an attorney - call Matt Portella. You won't be sorry! He's THAT good. Thanks Matt!

As a former criminal attorney who practiced for 18 years I am familiar with the in's and out's of this practice, and I must admit that I was highly impressed with Matthew's knowledge of the operation and management of the current DUI laws in the State of New Jersey.
His ability to set out the parameters of a defense and to question his client as to a factual basis for this defense was a masterful process to be envied by most practitioners.
He systemactically tore down the prosecutors case and provided alternate facts that substantiated our position and convinced the prosecutor that pursuing a DUI would be futile and counterproductive to providing justice in my matter.
He further used his skills to provide the prosecutor with an alternative sentencing structure that inured to my benefit.
I would sincerely recommend Matthew to any propective client in any quasi criminal or criminal matter without hesitation.

Matt, our family is grateful for you assistance during a trying time. Your staff served us well with great communication and support and you explained the complexities of our case and the strategies you would use to lessen the impact. You did a fabulous job in court and secured an outcome that was absolutely the best we could hope for. Thank you!

Matt was there for me from day one. He provided emotional support and guidance through the whole process. His confidence epitomized great advice and representation. The determination shown to get the best outcome possible was reassuring and put me at ease. The team was thorough and concise with the documentation and answering my questions. It was a honor and a pleasure to have him as my lawyer.

Let me tell you something about, matt. He gets right to point and gets the job done. Don't waste anymore time looking for another lawyer, this dude's the man! When I was charged for something that would potentially ruine my career and my financials, matt made it all go away easily. I would recommend this gentleman to my family and friends. Sorry Matt, I can't give you more than 5 stars because this google will only allow 5. Not enough stars. Again, thank you for what you did for me and for my family.

Mr.Portella listened to my situation, asked thorough questions, and game his thoughts. He followed through getting my case dismissed in a timely matter. He communicated with me throughout the process making me feel at ease. I am in the military and alot was at stake. Thank you sir!

Matthew Portella saved my career.. I would highly recommend him to represent you if you in need of a attorney in the New Jersey area... MVP!!!

Matt got my felony charge dismiss, what more can I ask from my attorney, I couldn't be more happier with the result..Thanks again MATT.

So Matt took on a case for me fighting a conviction that hurt my career severely. After a long fight he convinces the judge to review my case and the judge ended up overturning the the conviction. The state was not happy but Matt found a flaw in the states case that no one saw. This guy was worth the money and worth the wait.... and I jave a new lease on life. Thanks MVP!!

Five stars

As a senior finance executive referred to the offices of Matthew V. Portella by the office of my previous counsel, I was apprehensive at first as my preference would have been retaining my original representation, unfortunately due to ongoing health issues retaining my original lawyer was not an option. I met with Matt and quickly realized my original lawyer was Matt’s mentor and Matt had taken over cases for my previous attorney. I was put at ease knowing he was groomed and mentored by an extremely prominent and competent criminal defense attorney turned prosecutor. As a senior executive, I had concerns that my situation would stymie and severely impact my career; holding me back from further growth and opportunities. Matt was non judgmental, understanding, and quick to put me at ease, he assured me given the facts of the matter he would be able to easily navigate through the legal process. We discussed legal options and both set our expectations, he was confident we would see a favorable outcome at the conclusion of the matter. Throughout the process he was attentive and responsive to my concerns, needs, and issues that arose along the way, keeping me calm, level headed, providing advice, insight, and reassuring me that everything would be fine. While Matt and his team worked on the case I was kept informed and up to date on the status of the matter on a regular basis. As the court date approached his team kept in contact with the date, time, and location of the proceedings, emailing, calling, and via text the night prior and day of to ensure I was aware of my appearance time and location. As Matt stated in our initial consultation everything would be fine and was fine, the proceedings went well and in my favor alleviating me of what seemed like a lifetime of stress and frustration. I couldn’t be happier with the POSITIVE outcome Matt was able to achieve. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE OFFICES OF MATTEW V. PORTELLA TO ANYONE who has found themselves requiring legal assistance or criminal defense; Matt is MORE THAN COMPETENT. Should I require legal assistance in the future, GIVEN THE POSITIVE OUTCOME, I WOULD UTILIZE HIS SERVICES WITHOUT HESITATION; I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH THE OUTCOME AND HIS SERVICES!

Mr Portella and Staff,

Can NOT thank you all enough for the care, dedication, and concern for our court appearance. Our outcome was "more than" favorable, and you get all the credit in the world.
You and your staff.....rock!
....Goooooo Cougars!!

Matt is the best... certainly gets the job done

I have known Matt both professionally and personally for 20 years. His service is always outstanding as is his attitude toward his clients. He is one of the best attorneys in NJ and I have never been disappointed working with him. He is always very honest and straight forward in what he feels the outcome of your case will be, and will try his best for a favorable one.

Pit bull
