Highly professional, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your well-being lawyer

I had the privilege of working with Matt during one of the most stressful periods of my life, dealing with a sensitive family matter that deeply affected both my personal and professional life. Matt took over my case from my previous lawyer at a point when the situation was already very tense and tim...e-sensitive — with a trial scheduled on a very tight deadline. From the very first interaction, he demonstrated professionalism, confidence, and a strategic mindset that immediately put me at ease. Matt worked incredibly fast to understand every detail of my case and began communicating with the other party right away. He managed to secure an agreement that not only protected my interests but also left room for future negotiations on favorable terms. Throughout the entire process, he took initiative and made well-considered decisions on my behalf, sparing me from the stress of trying to navigate complex legal choices on my own. He always kept me informed but never overwhelmed me with unnecessary details. I could trust that he was always a few steps ahead, looking out for my best interests — even in ways I didn’t realize at the time. Because of his guidance, I was able to handle the situation without letting it completely derail my career or personal life. I honestly believe I owe Matt not just a successful resolution, but also my peace of mind. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is highly professional, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt.

Professional, Caring, and Diligent

Most divorce/custody cases are difficult and can take a very long time to complete. However my case required a level of experience, aggressiveness, and understanding that is hard to find among attorneys. Matt and Phil were very professional and worked my case diligently until the best possible outcom...e was achieved for my daughter and I. I am happy to say that not only was I able to retain sole custody of my daughter and relocate to another state, but I was able to finalize the divorce before leaving New Jersey. Although my case was very complicated and my ex wife had a very good lawyer as well, Matt and Phil worked my case very hard and we accomplished everything in record time. I highly recommend Matt and his office to any and everyone still living in New Jersey. Thank you Matt, no words can describe how great full I am for everything you, Phil, Dorothy, and Joan have done for me.

  • 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.
