Lock him up

Michael caputo has been involved in my son’s case as the attorney for his child without a proper court order for 2 years now. The man needs to be arrested and locked up

Amazing, he gave me my life back

I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone, especially if you are headed for a difficult, contentious divorce. He was thorough, detailed, organized, professional, and worth every dime spent. Matt brought life back for me and my sons. I was nervous, and honestly, terrified, about going through a divo...rce. Matt was compassionate, while also telling it straight. I trusted him completely to get things done and get us the best outcome. My divorce was brutal and difficult at times because of who I was married to. Matt made the process bearable, while giving me hope. He was honest and fierce. I would not be where I am today without him. If you are looking for an incredible attorney, who will have your back every step of the way, Matt Fero is an excellent choice!

Matthew Fero - complex custody case

If I could add stars onto this review I would. Matthew took on my complicated custody case with compassion and care for myself and my children. He has honestly changed the trajectory of my children's lives and helped to secure their safety (both physical and emotional). This case involved signficant ...mental health concerns, domestic violence, and substance abuse within an already existing custody aggreement between two moms. He was kind but a bulldog at the exact same time, which is exactly what I needed. He took the time to prepare himself (and me) for court appearances and handled trial so professionally. When waiting in the courthouse for a trial appearance, a secretary of the court came up to me and said, "You honestly have the best attorney. I'm not sure why you're here but Matt will take care of you." And he has. I couldn't be more grateful for what he has done for me and my family over the last year and a half. My children are safe and happy. He is worth every dime.

Fero Will Get You Time With Your Kids

I hired Matt for a custody trial against my daughters mother in 2022. I could not be more satisfied with his communication style, his courtroom professionalism, and the results of the case. If you are a father/mother who does right by your children but are dealing with unfortunate circumstances beyo...nd your control - call Matt Fero. My daughter and I have a great relationship because of him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the pleasure of working with Matthew on numerous occasions. Although Matthew and I have been adversaries in the context of these many divorce cases I have consistently found him to be professional and a zealous advocate on behalf of his clients. I have often referred potential clients to Matthew when I have been unable to represent them due to conflict or time constraints."
