Expert Knowledge, Personal Attention

Matthew helped me recently with his expert knowledge, patient understanding and clear communications. Having never been in such a situation before, Matthew walked me through everything, keeping me informed and defending my interests every step of the way. He was diligent with the details. Despite my ...case being what some would consider trivial, Matthew gave it his full, uncompromised attention. Because that's the kind of person he is. I'm glad I had Matthew on my side.

Exceptional Character, Knowledge & Service

While Matthew has been up significant help to my family through legal matters that are aligned with his specialties, he was also incredibly helpful as a counsel for my startup business needs. Matthew was readily available, responsible and helpful whenever I needed assistance. For any matters that h...e was not an expert, he always sought the expertise of others in his network. We had many discussions about intellectual property, incorporation, corporation structuring and contract law. Ultimately, Matthew led the process through counsel and drafting of the terms sheet for my angel investment for that startup. I would highly recommend Matthew to others. He is a great guy, and a great attorney.

"Diligent" does not do justice to describe this attorney

Matthew McCann is a judicial powerhouse in the courtroom and a patient and understanding human being all around. I have had the esteemed honor of having him represent me in a particularly difficult case and he has stepped up to the plate and knocked it way out of the park for me every time. I highl...y recommend him for all legal needs.

Relationship: Friend

"Matt McCann is a close friend for years and a law school classmate. He's a sharp thinker, a hard worker, and a dedicated lawyer, but perhaps most of all he is one of the most vigilantly ethical and morally upstanding people I know, lawyer or not. Matt recognizes the gravity of a situation and does what is right even when it's not popular or easy. I want him on my side when the toughest decisions need to be made."

  • 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.
