Excellent!

Matt was truly a 5-star attorney, from the day I first met him right on through to the verdict of the jury trial. Matt worked hard and thoughtfully through every step of our legal process and always addressed every question and concern I had (there were many). Though my case was taken on contingenc...y, I thanked Matt for always treating me as though I were paying his hourly fee. The office staff was just as caring and thorough. This short review cannot fully express my satisfaction or gratitude.

Exceptional attorney

Mr. Doebler is a fantastic attorney. Very passionate about finding justice as well as very attentive to detail. He is very professional, dependable, tenacious and a very likable as well as relatable individual.

You got caught with how much??

Matt covered all the necessary bases with my case from the start. He always responded promptly to my messages despite me being in Pacific standard time. Matt went out and collected pictures correlating to my case, I really appreciated that. I had a rather splendid time chatting with him outside of my... case, that meant a lot to me.

Litigation lawyer | Jun 07

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I had a case with Matt that is just now winding up. As an adversary, he comported himself with the utmost courteousness and responsiveness, while at the same time being one of the most able adversaries that I have encountered. Matt made a presentation in a mediation with the goal being to convince my codefendant's counsel that Matt could establish in court that this codefendant was negligent. That presentation was the best one that I had ever seen in my 42 years as an active trial lawyer. Today, he is a very skilled younger attorney. He will only get better."

Litigation lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked closely with Matthew Doebler for 3 years as a criminal prosecutor in the Kings County District Attorney's Office in New York. What is evident from that time is Matther Doebler's exacting standards for himself personally and his role as an attorney. He has strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate his thinking with clarity, creativity and effectiveness. He thrives when challenged and takes great pride in being that attorney who takes the extra step, which was often the key to his success as a prosecutor. Matthew Doebler is generous with his time and knowledge towards other co-workers, often enjoying the insight and new approaches that team work can result in when thinking through issues. His ability to work effectively both independently and with a group, his attention to detail, his successful track record and passion for law make Matthew Doebler an asset to any firm."
