Awesome personal injury attorney!!!

Matt represented us after a motorcycle accident with an uninsured motorist. When we called his office Matt got right on the phone and made an appointment to meet with us. He is very personable, knowledgeable and took control of our case immediately. As we were recovering, Matt kept us informed so w...e never had a worry from beginning to end. Also, his assistant is efficient and very nice. By far, Matt is an excellent attorney and a wonderful person that I highly recommend!

Straight forward and honest

I had an accident related concussion with relatively small medical bills. Matt was very clear about what kind of settlement to expect based on medical expenses incurred. He did not promise the moon or create any kind of false expectation in an effort "win" my business. He is professional, tells it li...ke it is, and honest. Matt and his staff were extremely prompt in getting back to me and dealing with any contact from insurance companies. Despite my claim being on the small side, he gave freely of his time to answer all my questions. He is also just a really nice guy! I would not hesitate to recommend Newborn Law.

Perfect Service

My wife used Matt on a very difficult personal injury case involving slipping on ice. He clearly pointed out ahead of time that it would be a challenge The first impression we got of Matt Newborn was that of a down-to-earth, honest and professional attorney. He was someone with which you could immedi...ately feel comfortable. He was very detailed oriented and left no stone unturned. However, one of his biggest attributes was that he kept my wife and I well informed. Communication is very important to us. That communication provided us an extra layer of comfort. Needless to say we received a very respectable settlement. Would we use him again? Absolutely!

Thank you.

Matt is the both kind and highly professional.

I was referred to Matt by my chiropractor, concerning a car accident and the resulting whiplash medical care that I received. Matt explained the logistical details of collecting medical bills and communicating with the insurance company so that it made perfect sense to me. He moved very quickly whi...le keeping me in the loop of the various stages of the process. Within weeks he completed a settlement that was in the range we had discussed at our first meeting. I would highly recommend Matt - Thank you Matt!

The best around

Matt Newborn handled my automobile accident case 3 years ago. Matt went out of his way every way he could to make sure I was treated fairly and taken care of to the best of his ability. I was very lucky to have a lawyer like him on my side. Matt will be my first recommendation to anyone in need of an... injury lawyer.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
