Smart and articulate but failed me miserably

Attorney Delude is very bright, analytical and understands complex matters, but he really let me down by developing a strategy and then not following through. I was dealing with a difficult matter alone, and the decision to start over with another attorney was extremely difficult at the time, but I ...have no regrets. There was no discussion or explanation, just a major shift in his advocacy, and I couldn’t make sense of what was happening. The ultimate result of litigating the matter with another firm resulted in a settlement that matched what I expected from the strategy Attorney Delude outlined, so he knows what to do, he just failed to do it, and I spent a lot of money without any benefit.

The Best!!!

He taught me things about being a new business owner and was always there for me with the most stupid questions. I was new to the business and found out quickly you needed a great attorney by your side, and that was Matt. Very easy to talk with and easier to deal with complex situations that have ar...isen. I can never ask for a better attorney.

Construction Litigation

We hired Mr. DeLude originally to work on a breech of contract case. We were so pleased with how he handled this case, we have hired him for another one. The outcome was amazing and he knows the laws inside and out. He is our go to for anything legal. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Divorce

I contacted and Matthew Delude represented and advised me during my divorce. Matthew did a very good job.

Posted by Grant | February 22, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Treasurer, Profile Estates Homeowners' Association

Attorney Matthew Delude won a complicated case for us. When we were first sued we assumed we had no chance and some of the neighbors consulted with a different lawyer who basically told us we had no chance. Attorney Delude disagreed and aggressively defended the case right out of the gate securing fu...ll victory on summary judgment at the trial level without a single hearing or disposition. He then preserved that victory on appeal and helped us take the necessary post victory steps. He was easy to talk with and explained things to us so that we understood the issues. I highly recommend this attorney and would seek his assistance if I run into more legal issues.
