Professional,Hard working

He worked very hard on my case, never gave up, and kept me informed of everything I needed to do. He asked all the right questions, appeared on my behalf. He kept a positive outlook and fought till we won my case. I would hire him again for this type of case or any other for that matter.

Very professional and knowlegable

Matthew expertly (he obviously did this many times, and that was more than a year ago) alleviated my fears that I might lose my unemployment benefits and thoroughly explained to me what "chain of custody" means. The court proceedings were quite intimidating for me and I was very glad to have Matthew ...at my side.

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.
