Professional and easy to work with

I worked with Matthew after I was involved in a serious car accident where the other driver ran a red light and totaled my vehicle. During this stressful time, Matthew was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. From the beginning he was realistic in setting my expectations and worked di...ligently on my behalf to settle with the insurance company. I highly recommend him.

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.
