Effective handling of a complicated case

I was impressed with Matt's capable, knowledgeable, and compassionate handling of our case. He was able to explain complex information to us in a manner that we understood, and kept us informed all along the way. He was forceful in delivering our case to the other attorneys, never allowing them to ...gain the upper hand, but maintaining a respectful and professional manner. He never tried to discourage us from pursuing our goals and was willing to go the distance. We always felt he had our best interest at heart. And, in the end was able to satisfy the case exactly as we had hoped. He was the best attorney we have ever worked with.

Excellent Attorney

Matt Doebler has been my attorney for a few years now. You will not find a more dedicated and personable attorney! Matt is most certainly a go getter. He won my case against the government and not only that got the government to change laws. Thats extremley powerful. He will work very hard for you an...d dig into every little corner of your case and all with a smile on his face. Great Guy!

Absolutely remarkable!

He is very determined, professional, and kindhearted. My case was very emotional to me and he was also supportive and understanding of this. He also explained things to me in an understanding way while keeping me informed about things as the case progressed. My experience gave me a more positive o...utlook on lawyers.

Matt to the rescue

I felt as if Matt was fighting for his own family when he took on our case. He worked diligently and with great enthusiasm and delivered the results we were looking forward to. Matt is a fine and compassionate lawyer. We would highly recommend him to everyone.

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."
