Not trustworthy

Attorney Matthew Couloute was hired to represent me when it was time for us to go to court he was unprepared no motions were filed. He was very unorganized. He would not return any of my phone calls. He took my money as if he was a Con artist! Do not hire him as an attorney! He will take your money m...ake it sound good like he can beat any case and do absolutely nothing in the end!

Business Consultation

I hired Attorney Couloute to assist in the formation of my new company. I have know Attorney Couloute for years and he represented my son on a criminal case years ago. I found Mr. Couloute to be knowledgeable, accessible, and always willing to help. He's an excellent attorney and it was money well sp...ent. You are doing yourself a disservice listening to the detractors. He is truly a talented attorney.

Successful business owner thanks to Attorney Couloute...

I hired Attorney Matthew Couloute when I was opening my clothing boutique in 2016. Attorney Couloute provided me vital assistance in what felt like every aspect of my business. From creating the corporate structure to assisting me in negotiating the lease terms for my retail space. Attorney Coulou...te was instrumental in establishing my business formation corporate documents as well as advising me on the process and procedures for copyright and trademark. The list goes on and on. I absolutely could not have done it without Attorney Couloute as part of my team. He is an incredibly talented, professional and passionate attorney. Thank you, Attorney Couloute!

Best Attorney in the state

Attorney Couloute is one of if not the best lawyers in the state of CT. He handled a criminal case for me and I couldn't ask for more. If you believe the negative information on the internet about him, you're missing out on one of the best.
