Matt was very personable and easy to work with. He made the whole process comfortable and brought up many aspects we had not thought of. This was an informative and rewarding process.

"Matthew holds a strong reputation in the legal community as an excellent estate planning and business attorney. Matt genuinely cares about finding creative solutions to make his clients happy and fulfill their goals. I highly recommend Matt for estate planning, business, and probate matters."
"Mr. Wiley is an exceptional estate planning and business transactions attorney. His skills are most apparent where two fields converge. As a business attorney, many of my clients' primary sources of liquidity for retirement, and potential estates are their respective businesses. The complexity of aligning one's business affairs with their estate planning goals cannot be overstated. Mr. Wiley's rare ability to see all sides of the issues concerned in this area is of substantial value to a business owner, whether just recently incorporating, or looking towards a future sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Wiley to a client in need of business and estate planning services."
"I am pleased to endorse and recommend Matt, whom I have known for many years in both a personal and professional capacity. Matt is a diligent and knowledgeable estate planner who focuses on building relationships with his clients while staying on the cutting edge of estate planning techniques."
"Matt is an excellent attorney whom I have known for several years now. I would not hesitate to work with him on any estate planning or business matter."
"Matthew is an energetic leader among his peers and a true professional in every aspect. He brings hard work, experience, knowledge, and compassion to his practice. Matt excels at educating his clients and enabling them to pick the right tool from the estate planning toolbox to achieve their desired result. Not only is he an attorney I would consult with professionally, I would confidently refer anyone to his office."
"I have known Matt for several years. We have attended several estate planning conferences and continuing education programs together. Matt is continually searching for better ways to assist his clients in reaching their estate planning goals. Matt is very creative and works with each of his clients to create custom designed estate planning that takes into account family needs, tax considerations and administrative costs. I recommend Matt without reservation."
"It is my pleasure to endorse Matt Wiley. What distinguishes Matt from many of his peers is his commitment to developing long-term relationships with his clients and providing them with innovative solutions. I would be very confident in referring New Haven based clients to him."

The depth of his experience, combined with his passion for helping clients understand their options, make Matt a truly exceptional estate planning attorney. I heartily endorse Matthew A. Wiley."
"Over the past 7+ years, Matthew Wiley has gone from being a respected colleague to a close friend. The professional and personal relationships have developed as such because of our aligned thinking and representation. He is dedicated to providing clients with top representation and true advocacy, and he always upholds the trust, loyalty, and respect inherently necessary for any type of relationship, whether that be as colleagues, friends, or in the attorney-client capacity. For that reason, it is without hesitation that I refer family, friends, and clients alike to him. I am proud to consider Attorney Wiley a trusted colleague, and honored to consider him a friend."
"Attorney Wiley is a consummate professional who works closely with clients to ensure they are completely satisfied with their estate planning or elder law needs."
"I have known Matt for about 3 years and have seen him work in a number of capacities. I have been impressed with his diligent pursuit of the right answer and the best way to make a plan work; all very valuable traits to have in an attorney who is advising you. I would recommend him as an excellent choice."
"Mr. Wiley is an outstanding lawyer. He is both a close friend and outstanding colleague. I was first introduced to Mr. Wiley ten years ago at Drexel University where we completed our undergraduate studies. I know him as one of the most detail-oriented, disciplined, punctual people I've ever encountered. His ability to work efficiently under stressful conditions and nerve-wrecking deadlines speaks volumes about his/her hard work, determination and his composed demeanor. In general Matt is a compassionate and hardworking human being with perseverance and ambition. As an peer in the legal world, I have watched him develop into a stand-out super star attorney. He offers sound legal advice but has a real life, practical background to help him offer advice. He always puts the interests of his clients over his own personal gains. He is an attorney I reccomend time and time again."
"Matt is a great attorney. He brings a great amount of creativity to estate planning along with knowledge, experience and efficiency. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal strategy or documentation for wealth and estate planning."
