"Although Matt & I have known one another for approximately two years, we only recently had the opportunity to work together defending a client being sued by a debt collector. Matt reached out for advice on the case knowing that I have handled these types of cases in the past. After providing an overview on the minutiae involved, it was decided that we would work together to seek a resolution. Matt agreed to handle all court appearances and took on trial prep given his trial experience. Matt recognized that we possess different strengths that, when combined, could result in an even greater result than either of us taking on the matter alone. Matt also understood what questions to ask on the law in order to prepare for trial. He also knew how best to formulate a plan for dealing with the potential trial.
