Smart and kind

Matt is one of the smartest and kindest people I have every met. He shepherded me through a very complex and fraught CoHab contract and was consistently meticulous and sensitive.

The Best Divorce Attorney!

Matt Marcus is a phenomenal divorce attorney. He helped my 2 children and me through a difficult divorce and supported me with his legal expertise and his high emotional intelligence IQ. Matt was accessible almost 24-7 to me, and he treated us as if we were his family. The agreements he drafted were ...extremely detail-oriented- leaving no room for ambiguity. Matt kept the best interest of my young children as a priority. He was also mindful of the financial impact of divorce on a family and did everything he could to work efficiently. Matt is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and compassionate. I am pleased with the outcome of my divorce agreements, and I feel as though I won the divorce attorney lottery. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone going through a challenging time.

Outstanding

Matt's knowledge of the entire divorce process is incredible. He is best at thinking through the details and not rushing into quick solutions. Matt's legal knowlege is vast when it comes to all aspects of divorce, custody and separation. His personable demeanor is matched by his sharp intellectual... prowess. Highly recommend!

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.
