Happy in Divorce

Matt was extremely talented and professional. He delivered on everything he said he would and he remembered what aspects of my case were the most importatnt to me and never lost focus of those. He was extremely responsive to my calls and was always available especially during the highly stressful t...imes of my divorce. I was so happy to have him and his firm in my corner. Even though my adversary swithced lawyers 3 times I was comfortable and confident with Matt the whole way through. He turned a very unpleasant experience into a life experience. Thank you Matt, you have my utmost respect and gratitude.

Matthew N. Tsocanos

Matthew Tsocanos is an excellent attorney. He has an extensive knowledge of marital/divorce law and demonstrated it during my divorce process. I found him to be of high integrity while protecting my personal interests within all parameters of the law- as I was able to understand them. Matt- took a... professional interest in my case and worked diligently to represent me for the LML Firm and educate me on my rights during the process. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone. I have deep respect for all of them.

Review for Matthew N. Tsocanos

What I like about Matt is that he never lets me down. He has been there for me from day 1. He always gets back to me immediately no matter what time of the day. He goes the extra mile. He will keep me informed on everything we are working on. He follows up on all open issues and gets answers on... the questions that we have. He is very familiar with the court system and very well respected within the court system/personnel. He has a nice way of calming me down in times of crisis and staying cool, calm and collected when I am not. Matt has and will be there for me no matter what I need or what we have to do. He makes sure to work out his schedule so he can be with me at all of my court dates. I do not have to worry about this. I am happy to have Matt and his firm working for me.

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.

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.
