I am not a lawyer, but I am versed in the law. I could have defended myself, but the outcome would most assuredly been different. Adam went into 'enemy territory' for me, armed with legal expertise and new scientific data. My legal outcome here: HAPPY doesn't quite say enough!
Matt was very helpful. This was my first DUI and was lost in regards to what or how to move forward. He talked with my family and was helpful even before hiring him. Gave them direction and helped ease there stress in the entire situation. I would definitely recommend Matts services to anyone going thru similar legal issues. He drove an hour plus each way to go over the case and would return my calls directly.
Adam represented me on two misdemeanor charges and I found him to be thorough, informative and zealous in my defense. He kept me up to speed on all aspects of my case at all times and was able to negotiate a very favorable finding on my behalf. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who needed a great lawyer.
Matt Bakke was my attorney in 2 separate court cases. First he was my public defender in one county and based on his excellent representation of me, I hired him for another court case in a different county as my lawyer. On both occassions he set my mind at ease and made this difficult time for me so much easier to deal with and understand. He helped me work on whatever I needed to do to better myself with encouragement and constant contact whenever needed and spoke to all the proper people such as prosecutors and probation. I would highly recommend Matt Bakke for the defense to anyone who was looking for an excellent attorney. I can say now that I feel totally at peace about my unfortunate situations because of my representation from Matt
I don't even know where to begin because Adam has been absolutely incredible. I reached out to many lawyers on Avvo.com and I'm going to be honest and say that I was very disappointed in a lot of them including ones that were supposedly highly-rated. Adams response when I reached out was not only professional, he gave me advice and was incredibly reasonable with his fee. He explained everything every step of the way. I know absolutely nothing about law and if I had a question, he took the time to explain to me exactly what was going on, what needed to happen and how he was going to tackle the situation. I am permanently keeping his cell phone number in my phone book and I will gladly recommend him to anybody and will definitely use him in the future for anything that may arise. Even though my case was a traffic offense, he took my case very seriously and got the outcome I wanted. If you're reading this review, I want you to know that you will not regret hiring Adam.
Matt Bakke did an amazing job on my case. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. Matt works for you and actually cares for you and your situation. I highly recommend his services if you are in need of Legal Council.
I had never hired a lawyer in my life, but after being arrested for 3rd degree DWI, I felt overwhelmed by the potential penalties and next steps I needed to take. Fortunately, the first legal professional I spoke to was Adam. He answered all of my initial questions and scheduled time to meet me and my wife in person to discuss my case. After reviewing the incident, he informed me of my rights and how pursuing different options may look based on the details of the case. One point of emphasis was determining what the optimal outcome for me would be. After this consultation, I knew that we were on the same page and I was comfortable retaining him to represent me in this case. I have a career and a family. My biggest wish was to not spend any time away from either of them. I told Adam my goal would be to avoid any jail time. Due to the nature of my work, I also wanted to avoid any inconvenient probation officer meetings, random urine tests, or monitoring systems. Adam instructed me to schedule a chemical use assessment so we could understand how my use may play a role in my outcome. He also suggested being proactive in attending a MADD panel as well as taking steps to get my driver’s license reinstated. I made sure to get out in front of the issue as much as possible and complete everything prior to my court appearances as recommended. Adam had a chance to talk to the county attorney’s office prior to my first appearance. The initial offer met all my wishes for an optimal outcome – no jail or no home monitoring. I talked to my wife and although we were happy with the initial offer, if we could get reduce the charges to 4th degree DWI, the misdemeanor charge vs. a gross misdemeanor would be easier to explain to any future employer. Prior to my final court appearance, that is exactly the agreement that was reached. Not only that, but the fine was about $100 less than typically charged in that county for a 4th degree DWI. I told Adam that although I’m not happy about this incident, I’m satisfied with the outcome. I’m sure every case and everyone’s expectation for outcomes can be unique. Adam is a lawyer who will listen to the details, find out what is important, and do everything he can to achieve what is best for his clients.
Most people don’t realized how important it’s to hired your own private attorney in some cases. First, if I was going to be convicted in this cases I would lose my driver license and privileges for a very long period of time - face sometime in incarceration and lose my job and my house. But thanks to the smart lawyer Mr. Garber Adam, my cases has been dismissed and definitely closed as today I have ZERO CONVICTION
The minute I met Adam I knew I was in good hand. Very kind and and personable . He was there for me all the way .
This guy helped me with my case. He also got me released quickly on the initial arrest. With out him I would be in jail, and instead I'm not even on probation.
I had a minor traffic issue that I needed help with. I didn't know what to do or what the potential outcomes could be. I called Adam and he advised me appropriately, was honest in his assessment instead of simply "telling me what I wanted to hear" and worked with me to determine a fair price for his services. Thankfully my minor traffic issue remained minor and I never needed to actually have Adam "defend" me, but I know I would have hired him in an instant if I needed a lawyer. He is super smart, and communicates superbly, and I felt as though although he always had my best interests in mind, he also set very appropriate expectations for me. I am hopeful never to need his services, but I would contact him instantly if I needed a defense lawyer and would highly recommend him to others.
Matt was a very big help. He helped me understand what the court was looking for and made me feel ok!
I hired Adam to represent me in a issue that I had. Adam was very prompt in taking care of things and was able to get the prosecutors to drop the misdemeanor charge if I plead guilty to failure to stop for a stop sign. His rates are fair and representation was great.
Mr. Matt Bakke helped me out tremendously with my DWI trial. He was very open and honest with my options before my court trial. He was very sincere and treated me equally.
My family and I needed to file various forms with the court; which can be extremely confusing when it comes to the language of court documents. Adam was great in explaining the information that was provided in the various court forms and made it easier for my family to understand the difference and purpose of each form that was being filed with the court and why it was necessary to complete and file each one in order to obtain the outcome we needed.
I appreciated all the time and effort that Adam invested on my behalf. He is very knowledgeable of laws and practices relating to Criminal Defense displaying a high level of professionalism. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend his services to others
