Fast, no BS.

The number one thing that differentiates Attorney Matzkin is that he works fast and does what he says he will. Don't let his quickness and direct manner put you off, he's a good man and competent attorney who won't waste your time or money- nor will he stir the pot and create problems that didn't exi...st. He returned my calls within minutes, and emails were thorough and timely. Because I had done my job and had clear documentation of my employment issue, he was able to present me with a settlement within a few days. Yes, that's what i said. Other law firms that had agreed to take my case had estimated 6 months to two years. So when I say fast, I was able to get my life moving in a better direction and put my case behind me quickly. And his fees are modest.

Exceptional Support During a Difficult Time

Bruce at Matzkin Law LLC is amazing! I know how difficult it can be to find an attorney who is responsive and takes the time to listen, but Bruce did exactly that. What I appreciated most was that he didn't immediately turn down my case when I was upfront about my limited budget. Instead, he was w...illing to explore alternative arrangements and find a way to help. From our first phone conversation, I felt heard, validated, and supported. He took my concerns seriously and quickly got the ball rolling. I'm truly grateful for his kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help during a difficult time. I highly recommend Bruce to anyone seeking assistance with employment-related legal matters.

Successfully resolved my employment

I put off finding a lawyer for my employment issue for months because I assumed it would be impossible to fix. Bruce resolved it to my satisfaction within days, and he made the whole process straightforward. I wish I'd called him sooner.

Excellent Severance Negotiation

Bruce does great work with severance negotiation. Highly recommended. Easy to work with and good communication. No BS.

Attorney Matzkin to the rescue

When faced with a DUA denial, I felt hopeless. Taking money from my 401k to cover expenses, I didn't know what to do next. I reached out to several attorneys, each needing more money than the next, with hours of time needed to plan. Thankfully, I found Atty Matzkin, who in about ten minutes, simply s...aid I got this, you've got a case. During the hearing, after I had a chance to speak, he asked some clarifying questions, and within 24 hours, my decision was reversed. Thanks to Atty Matzkin, I can get back on track now!
