Excellent Lawyer

My biggest and worst mistake was i hired an eviction specialist to get rid of my tenant & squatter . I found Matt online by his excellent reviews and let Matt handle my tenant & squatter eviction. I can’t thank Matt enough for his help with a difficult eviction case. Matt was professional, clear, an...d confident. During our in-phone consultation, I immediately knew he was the right attorney for the job. He explained the entire eviction process in detail, set realistic expectations, and followed through on everything he promised. Matt was always responsive and answering all my questions promptly and putting my mind at ease throughout the process. He is truly highly recommended and he got my tenant & squatter out by 6 months. Truly truly highly recommended and best eviction lawyer

Watching him at work was like a scene out the movie a few good and matt was tom cruise he is a awesome lawyer

Matt was swift and persuasive he owned the court room and got what needed to be done done. We had another eviction law firm id mention their name but matt would be mad at me hes a good person we could tell that when we first met him which was on a Saturday who does that ... Most other lawyers mon ...to fri then we saw he was a dog lover and the caring way he treats people who work for him . We had a squatter living in my deceased ex mother inlaws house and with these dopey libeturd laws that everyone has rights but its ashamed the rights arent for the honest home owner paying all the bills for these wastes of lifes welcome to new York the all the wrong people have rights state (dont get me started) Matt sat down explained everything we spent more time being helped by matt our first meeting than with almost 3 years being represented by siegel lawfirm sorry matt i had too and with them we never knew what was going on we find out about the upcoming court dates from squatty and we didn't dare contact them by phone ... email any form of contact they would bill us all during covid statement after statement and they weren't doing anything. Matt is a great guy and a awesome lawyer

House Closure

I was recommended to Lawyer Matthew by a friend. He was very professional, he took his time to explain all the details about buying a house and advised to check the house well before signing the closure. He took his time to explain paperwork and costs included. I would definitely recommend him to my ...friends and will be using his services in future.

Posted by Rebecca | December 26, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Excellent lawyer (landlord/tenant)

Matt was and is a very helpful lawyer and very informative. This was my first landlord/tenant case, and he was able to walk me through the process and help deal with the most difficult tenants especially during this pandemic. Although the process did not come to a complete end, I am sure I will have ...a good ending with Matt as my lawyer. Matt also deals with housing closures. Hopefully, this case comes to an end so that I can hire him for my house closing as well!

East Meadow Closing

Matt and his paralegal, Donna were incredibly efficient in what was a very difficult closing through the COVID-19 restrictions. Matt is a skilled navigator through the ins and outs of real estate, taking care of all legal and regulatory issues behind the scenes, taking the stress out of the whole pro...cess. Donna was our main point of contact through most of the process. Owing to her diligence, dedication, and attentiveness, despite undoubtedly handling multiple clients, our interactions with her always felt as if we were her only client. Unique to this practice is the "mock closing" which was done early on to go over each line of the contract, illustrate the flow of money between the buyer, seller, and bank, and to ensure our finances were in order. Matt's precision was impressive, coming within several hundred dollars to the final closing cost. Entrust all your real estate matters with Matt and Donna. You won't be disappointed.
