He is one of the first people I call when I need a creative approach to a client problem. That is a huge benefit when looking to work with a lawyer- are they going to tailor their plan to really suit your matter. Matt can't help but think outside the box."
"Matthew is THE authority with respect to diminished value claims and has creatively developed an important area of law. I am proud to know Matthew and feel honored to have worked with him. I would undoubtedly, without reservation, recommend Matthew to all of my clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt has a wonderful understanding of the issues regarding diminished value of vehicles and how to maximize recovery for a client. He will work hard to achieve the best possible result."
"One unique aspect of Matthew's litigation practice is his experience with diminished value claims arising from motor vehicle accidents. I practice in somewhat of a niche area myself, and I know that clients get better results working with an attorney who is thoroughly familiar with the more specific issues involved in the case. In addition to being a professional and skilled advocate, Matthew is personable and civic-minded. I would trust him to provide excellent service to any client looking for diligent and effective representation."
"Matt is probably the leading legal authority on diminished value claims in Connecticut. I refer all of my diminished value cases to him. He does a fantastic job representing my clients."

"Matthew is a very knowledgeable attorney. His dedication to providing quality content for this forum is proof of his desire to help those who have been injured at the hands of others maximize their recovery. If you have a claim in his local area I would recommend you seek his consult."
"With confidence I endorse Matt. Matt is a great communicator, he can make his point. Matt has shown a real interest in his clients interests. Matt has championed a niche area of pursuing damages for the lost value of a car after an accident; not something most lawyers would do. I strongly recommend Matt."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Forrest developed an area of law in Connecticut that few people know about and certainly almost no one has extensive experience in. In addition to actual damages for a property loss Matt also aggressively pursues and achieves dimunition in lost value. He is creative, resourceful, and an asset to people seeking full value on an auto or similar type of loss."
