Matt Martin- Excellent & Great Lawyer

I have been pleased working with Matt over the past 6 years. He was referred to me from a friend, and I have been able to consult and hire him for advice on preparing my will and my bankruptcy. I never thought I would be the one to go through a bankruptcy. Matt was extremely helpful from the first da...y I met with him to discuss possibly filing a bankruptcy. Matt was there every step of the way with answering all of my questions, providing me information to prepare for the filing, and keeping my stress level down. He was very timely, communicated every thing that was happening, and was there with me in court for the final day of the hearing. Even after the hearing and the discharge of the debt, Matt counseled me on what would be ahead of me after the filing, and how to get my credit score back on track. I must say it did work. After 1 year after the discharge, I was able to get financed for a brand new SUV to drive off the lot; and now I'm buying my first home only 3 years later. I would not have been able to do any of this without Matt. He is professional, and attentive to his clients needs. I have referred him to other clients, and they have also been very pleased. I will continue to use Matt. Great Lawyer!!!!

Excellent attorney and a good guy to work with!

When our previous attorney left his practice, Matt inherited us as clients. He contacted me directly and explained the situation. He was completely versed in our case when we spoke. Although our situation was not unique, Matt could see that our course of action may not have been the way to go and... advised us of our options. With his advice and ongoing guidance we were able to cancel our Chapter 13 and begin a Chapter 7. Obviously not the choice for everyone, but in our case it was a better fit and we're much happier and better off because of it. We closed the case and Matt's competence was never so glaring as when we sat in the room and watched various other lawyers who missed things with their clients paperwork, forgot to tell them to bring things they needed, neglected to get the information to the court before the hearing, etc. Over the time we worked with him, Matt stayed in contact through phone and email and made sure we were not feeling like tourists throughout the proceedings. We were always well informed and prepared.

An Attorney with Real Integrity

Matthew Martin handled a family law case for me. Having dealt with attorneys who were less than trustworthy and/or diligent in the past, I was naturally wary in looking for my latest attorney. Mr. Martin was, quite simply, the answer to my prayers. He was honest, extremely fair in what he charged com...pared to other lawyers, he fought hard for me, and he was sharp as a tack in both his ongoing assessment of my case and his appearances in court. I'd go so far as to say that if you consider all aspects of what you look for in a lawyer, you couldn't do better than Matthew Martin representing you in a family law case. He literally helped turn my life around.
