With you every step of the way!

Matt and his staff were very professional and exceptional to details. Walked my husband and I through the bankruptcy process from start to finish. Would highly recommend using this office.

Very Professional, Very Knowledgeable, Excellent Lawyer

Matthew's team was highly knowledgeable and skilled in helping me with my financial situation when declaring chapter 7. Matt made the entire process simple, straightforward and always made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the process. He always took the time to take care of any concerns... and needs that need to be met on a timely manor. I highly recommend him and his firm for your legal needs. Thank you for all you've be done Matt!

A True Professional

I came to Attorney Desrochers for a chapter 7 for my wife. She was backed up with credit card bills, out of work for multiple years due to injury, and now getting sued by her creditors! Matt put all of that to rest, with a simple meeting with me and my wife. It took longer than expected due to my wif...e's busy schedule and having to deal with everything at home. But with the help of Jowan, who was the trustee assigned to my wife's case, things got done. Communication was phenomenal and Matt was always there responding to e-mails, and phone calls, as was Jowan. The day of my wife's hearing came up last week and when I got home, she was a totally different person, like a massive weight had lifted off of her shoulders. "It took literally 5 minutes! All I have to do is wait for the discharge, I feel great." Thank you Matt, and Jowan for allowing my wife to come back from months/years of worry about debt and finally get on the road to being debt free. Your assistance has been amazing, and I will recommend people in the Reading area to your firm.

EXCEPTIONAL! Nothing but respect & gratitude for Matt's "GLADIATOR" performance!

After 2 years of failed negotiations an associate strongly recommended I have Matt take over all aspects of my short sale. I was losing my buyer and fighting a seriously notorious financial group (google: lawsuits of OCWEN). Knowing full well Ocwen would be a nightmare Matt went to battle. Despite ha...ving already lost 2 years, Matt sustained the buyer's confidence till the deal was done. Matt negotiated a much better deal than what was rejected years earlier! I not only recommend Matt for his services, I want him to know how much I respect him for a job well done...

Matt did what I couldn't

Unfortunately, I have had several experiences with bankruptcy in my lifetime.Life has had its challenges and with it a few incompetent attorneys and very difficult banks. After several reorganizations of our home loan this last time Bank Of America seemed unwilling to modify our loan one last time. I... was desperate and turned to Matthew Desrochers. I had seen a tutorial video he did on Facebook a while ago and it was nice to see an old classmate who I haven't seen in over 20 years had made a successful life for himself. I reached out in desperation hoping his memories of me in high school were as favorable as my own. Matt met with Sharon ad I and took over an hour during our free consultation to explain everything in detail. He listened and took what I said into careful consideration, then together we formulated a plan. 2 Months on a very fair retainer but no more than that and we will see where we are at that time. Just a few days after the 2nd moth the bank agreed to modify. They had already refused me twice and told me it was too late. (You can;t trust what the bank says). Matt got them to listen and even though they had modified the loan several times before Matt and his team got them to do it again. They even reduced the rate and my monthly payment. We couldn't be more thankful. As I said in the beginning I have used other attorneys in the past for bankruptcy issues. Matt Desrochers and his team is by far the best, and most competent and also the fairest priced. Amazing People. Thank you so much!
