Pleasantly Surprised

As this was the first time I required a lawyer, I was cautious to say the least. But I was pleasantly surprised by Matt. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable and explained everything so that I could understand. He was professional, but gave every meeting and phone call a personal touch. I will abs...olutely use Matt in the future and recommend his services to anyone.

VanRyn exceptional

Matt VanRyn is one of the most dependable and conscientious attorneys I had ever worked with. He and I worked closely on several emerging early stage entrepreneurial companies. I always found him to be knowledgeable, forthright, gentlemanly, and reliable. He can be counted on to offer excellent ad...vice and effectively deliver the requisite strategy to effect that advice. I recommend him highly.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
