​Outstanding Family Attorney Who Delivers Results

Matt is an outstanding attorney. What sets him apart is his deep compassion—he genuinely cares about my kids and me as well as Fathers parenting rights. This is paired with an exceptional attention to detail and top-notch litigation skills. If you need a fierce yet caring advocate, choose Matt!

The best, better than the rest!!

I have used Matt for over 10 different issues. Every time he has done right by me, my family, and my company. It doesn't matter if its 10 pm or 5 am Matt goes the extra mile every time. There's no denying he is young and newer to his profession, but that just makes him more eager to do right by the c...lient and to prove himself a worthy contender to other lawyers. He has got me the best possible outcome every time we went to war. You want Matt in the trenches with you. After all you want the best and brightest on your side. I will refer and use Matt in the future.

Couldn't Be Better

Matthew Passalacqua was my lawyer, representing me in mediation with my son’s father. He was truthful when it came to my concerns, and helped me come to an amicable agreement with the other party. I live two and a half hours north of where Matt is located, and he did a great job of keeping me infor...med throughout my case. He is attentive, professional, and very prepared. To this day if I have any questions he is always willing to take my phone calls or emails, if unavailable, Matt responds back within just a few hours.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
