For 32 years I worked with numerous attorneys. After Matthew Kaestner's efforts in defending a relative I would rate him at the top! There was never any doubt during the process that he was giving his all. His legal ability was obvious and he was respected by the Prosecuting Attorney as well as other court members. The end result was above all expectations. (3 felonies, two of them strikes, settled for a misdemeanor.) If you or a loved one need a first class attorney protecting you in court on a serious criminal case, I highly recommend Mr. Kaestner!

Attorney Kaestner helped get a 23 year old felony conviction
set aside and then dismissed completely. Mr. Kaestner was able to
do what I thought might be impossible. I had
sought the help of two other lawyers who were unable
to get it done. Mr. Kaestner told me that it was a long
shot, but he wrote an excellent motion and then
kept the heat on the D.A. and Judge by repeated
court appearances. He wouldn’t take no for an answer.
What Mr. Kaestner did is the best thing that has ever
happened to me. He has truly changed my life. I could
not give any professional a higher recommendation.
Thank you Mr. Kaestner

Only regret not calling him sooner! He is a great person and is honest. MY CASE Dismissed! If your thinking about calling, Dial and set an appt. ASAP.

I first met attorney Matthew Kaestner when he defended my brother on a murder charge in 2000. Through hard work and excellent lawyering, he ended up proving my brother wasn't involved. My brother was freed. Over the last eighteen years I have referred several people to him. They have all been very happy with his services. He was able to get the wrongful murder conviction of another young man in Long Beach overturned. When I recently needed some help on a non-criminal matter, he immediately stepped up and helped.

Thank you for all your help and always being there to answer my questions!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the counsel and help that Mr. Kastner gave me with my son's case. The juvenile court system is very different from adult court and can be very confusing. I was given clear expectations of what to expect, what to question, the do's and don'ts, along with the peace of mind that I needed that we could beat this case. If you want a lawyer who is not just about money and really cares about your situation he is your guy. I believe that he will fight for you. He is very knowledgeable and it is very transparent that he has a passion for helping people. I would highly recommend him to anyone. My son is getting the best possible outcome with the help he has given me. It's as if the incident never took place. Thank you again Mr. Kastner!

Highly recommend!! We shopped around and decided on him because
1. He has 20+ years of experience
2. Certified criminal law specialist
3. He is familiar with long beach court judges and prosecutors
4. Reasonably priced lawyer for all you are getting

He did his job and fought for us!! I took my time to write this review because I'm grateful for what he did for my family, I would hire him again if ever needed. Our public defender was not able to get us a good deal... he did.. don't risk your future on just anyone.. seek defense.

He helped my friend. & my friend that he couldnt help he told him upfront for free.. and he bought an SUV from me. I have nothing but praise for the man

This review for Matthew Kaestner is about a case I had 43 years ago when I was 18 years old. The case of course has been settled and put away in the hall of records archives of decades. The outcome of that case I wanted to change and contacted many other attorneys to see what could be done. A couple told me it couldn’t be done and tried to sell me some other service they offered. All of the attorneys wanted to communicate threw e-mail which I didn’t like doing, including e-mailing them the papers I had acquired from the hall of records in downtown L.A. about my old case.
I contacted Mr. Kaestner by phone and we talked for about 35 minutes and made an appointment to meet him. One of the things about Mr. Kaestner is HE answers his own calls. Not a secretary. When I have called and he was unavailable, maybe in court, he calls back very quickly. So on the day of my appointment I arrive at his office. Very swanky office in the World Trade Center in Long Beach. I thought how the heck can I afford this guy! So here comes this guy wearing Levis, pretty down to earth. We meet for about 45 minutes and he takes my case, which is pretty small potatoes case compared to what he handles regularly. Another thing I come to find out about him is he handles everything himself. Does his own legal research, not some paralegal and doesn’t hand your case off to a junior attorney.
My day in court comes and Mr. Kaestner arrives on time wearing a suit that cost more then my car. Very professorial in appearance. We go into the court room and it seems every other attorney knows him. Before the judge came in, they were sitting around making jokes and seem he is well respected. Turns out Mr. Kaestner used to be a prosecuting attorney at one time.
Mr. Kaestner was able to get the results I was seeking. Even on a case 43 years old. Would recommend him to anyone needing a criminal attorney.

BEST Criminal lawyer money can buy! In addition to extremely personalized services. Her returns calls personally!

Mr. Kaestner was recommended to us by a close friend. After having interviewed many other defense attorneys in Long Beach, it was an instant and unanimous family decision to acquire the legal services of Mr. Matthew Kaestner. He immediately saw that the two felonies which I was faced were unwarranted, and that I had been unjustly accused. His diligence was reassuring, and he was also able to reduce my charges down to one misdemeanor. We are extremely pleased with the professional services we received from our attorney. We never thought we'd find ourselves in need of a defense attorney, but since we did, we are So thankful that it was Matthew Kaestner.

I got beat up by bouncers and the Long Beach Police. I really did nothing wrong, but was charged with three misdemeanors. My only witness was too afraid of the police to testify on my behalf. I found Matt Kaestner on the web when I searched for Long Beach Criminal Defense Attorney. My friend, a lawyer, told me that everyone will lie and I will lose. Other friends discouraged me. I pursued the jury trial. Three Long Beach cops and the bar manager lied under oath. Matt questioned each of them to the point it was clear they were lying just to get me convicted of a crime I did not commit. Needless to say I was rather upset they would lie about me. Matt provided me with the counsel I needed to stay calm. Matt very skillfully defended me and got all my charges dropped. I was VERY nervous about my week long trial, however when it was over, I was very happy I luckily found a brilliant defense lawyer. I have no reluctance in recommending Matt Kaestner to anyone who has gotten into trouble. He also recommended a law firm for the civil case I filed. And they were also very successful on my behalf.

I’d like to give my thanks and deepest gratitude to the best criminal defense specialist, Mr. Matthew Kaestner. My husband was facing 15 years for a robbery he didn’t commit. The first attorney I hired had the case for 3 months, and wanted my husband to take a 7 year “deal.” I wanted a second opinion and found attorney Matthew Kaestner. Attorney Kaestner gave me hope that some hard work could prove my husband’s innocence. After I hired attorney Kaestner, he immediately began work on the case, even when he had to work late into the evening. Mr. Kaestner made my husband and I feel like the case was his priority and gave it his full attention. He thoroughly investigated the case and discovered enough evidence to prove that the alleged “victim” had lied to police. Only 27 days after Mr. Kaestner received my husband’s case, he got it completely dismissed. My family was saved. My husband came home to me and our four children allowing us all to resume our normal life. I highly recommend Mr. Kaestner to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney.

I highly recommended him to anyone, he dismissed my misdemeanor, he is the best ever

If you find yourself up against the wall, no one will fight for you like Kaestner. In my book, Kaestner is law!

I'd like to give my thanks and deepest gratitude to criminal defense specialist, Matt Kaestner. I needed his services twice. Matt was highly recommended to me by my family law attorney. Matt obtained a dismissal of my first case due to his hard work and diligence. My second case went to trial and through Matt's dedication and detailed, heart felt, closing arguments, I was found Not Guilty.

Matt made me feel like my case was his only priority and he gave my case his full undivided attention. I was very impressed with his insights and how focused he was on the things that he had to prove my innocence. I'm the sole provider for my family of five, and was terrified of possibly going to jail for something I didn't do.

When going to criminal court, picking your attorney is crucial. Matt looks the part, knows the law, and worked to know my situation and my feelings. I was able to go into court feeling safe with Matt on my side.

I highly recommended him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. My family and I truly appreciate what he did for us. Matt has given us back our peace of mind and has allowed us to get back to our normal life!

I met Mr Kaestner several years ago when I asked him to help us in a very serious case, which thanks to him and his expertise was handled very satisfactory.
Today we had another problem which was taken to court and the case was dismissed. I am so pleased with his services, and if I need to have an attorney one more time, I will not hesitate to contact him.

He explains, and advised us in a way that it can be understood, not with the legal terms which we are not used to.

Thank you Mr. Kaestner!
