Matthew Joseph Delude

During our lengthy real estate litigation Matthew was very well prepared to handle all of the legal briefs and rebuttals by the opposing attorney. He was extremely professional and articulate during every aspect of the case. We were extremely pleased with Matthew's integrity and honesty during the e...ntire process.

I'm a homeowner in Merrimack. Our development was assigned common land in the 1970's. Over the years one house in our development that abutted the common land was sold a few times. One owner decided to build a house on the common land, which he argued was his property. It was a complicated case that ...meant lots of meticulous land and property title research because the common land hadn't been handled properly by the original builder of our neighborhood homes. Attorney Matthew Delude had to research back more than a century to find the applicable laws that proved our case. And our homes were only about 40 years old. To make it simple, this person sued all of us neighbors, saying he owned the common land outright. Matthew Delude took it to court and won. The man appealed the single judge's ruling. We asked Matthew to take it to the NH Supreme Court. I was not able to attend the first hearing at the lower court level, but was in attendance on the day Matthew appeared for us before the NH Supreme Court. I was totally impressed with how Matthew was able to clearly answer the five judges' questions and remain calm. The attorney who was bringing the appeal was flustered and disorganized. Attorney Delude was calm, clear, and full of knowledge that I think really impressed the five judges. In the end, he won the case for us; the man could not build a second home on the land, and the land reverted back to our development. To avoid any future issues, we donated the land to the town of Merrimack as conservation land. Matthew Delude also handled all the paperwork required for that land transfer to the Town of Merrimack. If I'm ever sued or in some kind of trouble again, I would hire Attorney Matthew Delude without hesitation because he is thorough, thoughtful, patient to deal with, and so effective in what he does. In our case he had to deal with over 70 homeowners, and he met with them to answer questions and explain the applicable laws. The neighbors I spoke to were thankful that he handled this issue so well for all of us.
