Wealth of Knowledge/new perspective on things

I have had the opportunity to utilize Matt's legal services as well as his real estate services. I was very impressed with both. During the collapse of the economy a few years ago, I was among the many people whose economic situations suffered tremendously. My finances, coupled with an upside down... mortgage led the bank to initiate foreclosure proceedings on my home. When I met Matt, I was contemplating filing for bankruptcy. Matt's expert advice, his knowledge and connections in the industry, his diligence and his persistence successfully guided me through a difficult and confusing time, thus enabling me to keep my home out of foreclosure and prevent me from filing bankruptcy. As I was also undergoing serious medical issues at the same time, I appreciated the convenience and ease of working with him. His professionalism has a sincere and honest down-to-earth approach. Also of importance to me was the fact that his rates were very fair and reasonable. I would recommend his services to any of my friends and family. Now that circumstances have changed in my life, I plan on being a return customer for future real estate endeavors.

VERY HAPPY CLIENT HERE

After a very difficult time I was forced to face the reality that I might need to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. After an exhaustive search and several meeting with several attorneys; my wife and I decided that Matthew Desrochers as the right person for our situation. He has extensive experience in... the bankruptcy court and was able to direct us on the process better than the other attorneys we had met with. He as able to discuss all our issues including our mortgage situation; our TAX issues and he was able to wrap all the problems into a clear and concise plan to tackle each problem. I would 100% recommend Law Office of Matthew T. Desrochers and his staff located 274 Main Street, Suite 208, Reading, MA 01867, telephone 781 279-1822 to anyone requiring assistance with regards to bankruptcy. The entire office staff is extremely competent, considerate and very customer oriented. You are not just a number because Mr. Desrochers really cares for his clients and is very sincere to help people during difficult time.

Law Offices of Matthew T Desrochers,PC.

Law Offices of Matthew T Desrochers,PC. Matthew Desrochers is the BEST bankruptcy attorney! I am writing this review to thank him for the service and the results that he brought for me in filing my bankruptcy petition. I was considering doing debt settlement but after he analyzed my situation it be...came clear that a chapter 7 bankruptcy was in my best interest. I had over $200,000 dollars in unsecured credit card debt and it would have taken me way too long to save a substantial amount in order to settle the debt. During this period my credit would have suffered and I most likely would have been sued and received a wage garnishment. He filed all the appropriate paperwork and kept me up to date and aware of all the procedural matters throughout my case. He gave me sound legal advice throughout the case and always answered the questions that I had. He was always available to me by phone and he filed my case very quickly. Thanks for doing a great job and being so service oriented. I truly believe it doesn’t get any better than the Law offices of Matthew T Desrochers, P.C. Words can't express how much I appreciate him and he’s professional team. Again thank you so much for enabling me to start a new life financially. Best, DS

HARD TO FIND A GUY LIKE THIS ATTORNEY!!!!

I was being sued by a collection agency for $9200. Aditionally, this agency harrassed me relentlessly over the phone but would not consider or accept ANY of my offers to settle the matter out of court. Initially, I consulted several attorneys each of whom wanted a sizable retainer before they wou...ld consider the case; not a good deal being this a small claim. I then found Matthew Desrochers. Matthew agreed to negotiate my debt and get my lawsuit dismissed from court. He charged me a flat fee based on a mutally agreed percentage of what he saved me in his negotiation. Matthew settled this account for 50% of what I owed! To top it off he negotiated the amount 10% further to compensate me for the fact that I was harrassed by this collection agency. Matthew took the guesswork out of a very stressful situation for me. I have worked with several attorneys and unlike most, Matthew was more than fair, truly cared about my situation and answered every phone call and email promptly (including on weekends)! Attorneys like Matt Desroches are VERY HARD TO COME BY. I would hire him again and would recommend him to anyone! I only wish he practiced in additional areas of expertise, although Matt has always been happy to take a look at any legal issues I may have and even follow up to see how things turned out.
