Matt and I go back over 10 years ago when I hired him to clear my name on a charge that I was wrongfully accused of.  He fought very hard to prove my innocence. Ten years later, I contacted his office to have my previous record expunged dating back to the 70s when I was young and stupid for possession of marijuana when it was a felony. Again, he fought very hard to make it happen. After months of digging into the archives and with the help of his assistant / paralegal Dawn, my expungement was granted! Matt is a stand-up guy, and I have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff.
Thank you, Matt Portella! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Matt recently represented me in a number of Municipal Court criminal cases and the outcome was all charges dismissed.  Matt is an intelligent and savvy attorney and I was lucky to have him in my corner. Matt cares about his clients and he always responded to any questions or concerns I had about my cases. His office staff is top notch as well. I highly recommend Matt for any legal issue you may have.

My wife and I had the best experience you could imagine with Matt Portella. We are both hard working public servants that were subjected to an unwarranted legal mess. The situation caused us a lot of undue stress. We live out of the NJ area and googled lawyers in Haddon Township for the best representation possible. Thank God we went with Matt. We chose him because he looked tough, energetic, and had great reviews. That is exactly what we received. He TRULY worked for us. He remained personable and sustained thorough communication throughout the entirety of the debacle. We would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Portella for a legal defense issue. Five stars.

Matt and his staff are the best. They helped me several times for traffic violations and once for a criminal charge. I would never go to court without Matt and his staff by my side.

Matt and his team were incredible throughout a long and challenging process. Matt made sure to keep in contact and explain each step thoroughly. He ensures his clients needs are addressed and tailors his approach to achieve the best possible outcome. He stopped at nothing when it came to pushing for what I wanted. He built an amazing case and was able to get me to the best resolution possible. His attention to detail and care for others sets him aside from most lawyers. It’s a difficult decision when choosing your representation, but if you want a trustworthy, dedicated, and talented lawyer, you can stop your search here and go with Matt Portella. Thank you Matt and Team - your hard work changed my life!!
