Highly Experienced Diminished Value Vehicle Attorney

I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in my lifetime, too many. But every so often you get the pleasure of working with one that is responsive, to the point, easy to get in contact with and is sympathetic to your situation. Matthew Forrest was that lawyer for me. He handled a diminished value claim on a... pretty expensive vehicle. He fought like hell to get us what we were entitled to and did so professionally and in a timely manner. I have already referred others to him and have no reservations suggesting you put him on your short list for any diminished value or vehicle related matters. Highly Recommended.

Fantastic attorney, even better outcome

Matthew is a fantastic attorney and his hard work, along with that of his team resulted in a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to friends, family, or any individual seeking justice under the law.

"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."

Daniel Blinn

Unknown lawyer | Aug 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am pleased to endorse Matthew Forrest. Matthew has established himself as the premier lawyer in Connecticut handling cases involving the diminished value of damaged property. He is not afraid to butt heads with insurance companies, and he has a great reputation for getting his client's compensated when their motor vehicles or other property is damaged by the negligence of others."

Brian Torba

Car accident lawyer | Aug 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Bruce Stanger

Litigation lawyer | Aug 20

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"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."

Leslie McPadden

Insurance lawyer | Aug 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
