Deputy Executive Director

Matthew has been a great help to CLUSTER. He is an excellent addition to the ProBono volunteers and is greatly appreciated!

Excellent advice on non-compete

Matt quickly and efficiently advised me in a time-sensitive manner on a non-compete and its interplay with a severance agreement as I was about to transition to a new company. He explained the different parts and how they affected my options going forward, and offered several paths that I could purs...ue. I was senior enough in the company to have restrictions on where I could go as there were questions about how the two companies competed in the same general segment. His letters were organized and easy to understand, handled the facts of the matter, advised on New York law, and most importantly were very practical in how to engage both employers. I was referred to Matt by a family member and would recommend anyone in the NY area needing advice on a non-compete or severance agreement to check with him.

Guidance and expertise

Matt was the perfect choice for me and my individual situation. He provided expert guidance and explained my options as well as his recommendations. In addition, he was incredibly timely in the resolution. Highly recommend.

Greater Norwalk Chamber

When you need help with a legal matter, you want an expert--someone who specializes in a particular area. And when it comes to employment law, Matt is an expert. He not only knows the law, but he views it from various perspectives, providing the client with a full understanding of not only the how, b...ut the why. Highly recommended.

Represented my case for higher employer settlement

Matt Miklave was amazing! I highly recommend him. I never met a lawyer with such compassion and dedication like him. When I was terminated from my previous employer he provided reassurance that I can request a higher settlement. He also summarized my NDA in layman’s terms so I can understand it. We’v...e had frequent communication by phone and he was never in a rush to do something else. He listened proactively to my case. He also made me aware of my rights as a former employee in NY battling depression.

Avvo Rating

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.
