This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Tha best in the game

Matt represented me in two separate cases, including felony and misdemeanors charges. Most lawyers would've urged me to take a plea, but Matt reviewed the codes and was actually able to get both of my cases dismissed. Matt also was able to get all those charges expunged from my record, so they would...n't influence my future. He's a great lawyer who goes the extra mile to help his clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
