Auto Accident

Matt was always professional, well-informed and attentive to every aspect of my personal injury case. He achieved a great result for me which exceeded my expectations. I have the highest regard for his abilities and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone.

Legal services that never was

I hired Attorney Matthew Wurgaft in January 2016 to open a docket in NJ court or to file under an already existing docket in the Wilentz courthouse but Mr Wurgaft didn't provide me a copy of the retainer agreement even after making numerous attempts to gain a copy in person, via e-mail service and t...elephonically. It was on March 10th 2016 when I terminated Mr Wurgaft for not having the complaint filed as he promised and for not providing me with the retainer agreement.

Dear Client: Thank you for the review, my firm and I certainly take these issues seriously. Following our engagement you initiated a Fee Dispute proceeding in light of your allegations. The Fee Committee addressed the issues you mention and determined that the work performed by my firm was reasonable, a decision which you appealed. On appeal, the Review Board affirmed the Committee's decision. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to represent you in your matter, and we wish you the best going forward. Thank you again for your review.

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.
