Highly Recommend

Matthew was highly recommended to me by a number of mutual professional contacts and for good reason. Having just gone through a divorce and in the process of short-selling the jointly owned home with my ex-husband, I had the additional stress of needing to file personal bankruptcy. Matthew was gr...eat to work with: very personable and was able to explain the process in layman's terms so I could understand everything that was going to happen. Not only did Matthew make a very stressful process easier, he was able to complete and file all necessary paperwork in time for my ex-husband and I to close the then pending short-sale.

Knowledgeable and personable attorney I would recommend

Matt was able to help us from our very first meeting. He explained the process and what to expect, which made it less intimidating. Matt was always quick to respond via phone call or email to address any of our questions. Together we gathered all of the necessary information and paperwork and filed ...quicker than anticipated. Matt made us comfortable and as stress free as possible. Thank you Matt.

Very relieved.

Attorney Swanson helped develop a plan of action and a productive solution for our overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. He was there to explain the necessary steps to take to work through our problem, and the bankruptcy filing process. We were very pleased that we selected Attorney Swanson and would... highly recommend him for representation in matters of bankruptcy protection.

Matthew was fantastic

We needed Matthew for Financial assistance. He was wonderful. Fully explained our options in clear layman terms. Answered a host of numerous questions either in person, phone or emails. Never once made us feel awkward with all our questions or concerns. Walked us through every step of the process, so... there were absolutely no surprises. His knowledge, professionalism and very calm and welcoming personality put us at complete ease.
