Limited Mattof Estate

Matt was instrumental in guiding me through the process of obtaining a Limited Guardianship for my mother's estate, so that she would able to obtain the monthly annuity due to her from the US Navy, as a widow of a deceased Naval officer. This required the services of an attorney with a military certi...fication, which is an area in which Matt is qualified to serve. The US Military does not accept a POA from the civil court as a means for me to handle my mother's financial affairs, due to her mental incapacity, and Matt represented me in order to obtain the necessary measures in accordance with the US Navy to fulfill that need. He handled the nature of my mother's disability with sensitivity and professionalism.

Henry Sneath

Litigation lawyer | Nov 13

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a true commercial and business litigation lawyer who is unafraid of taking tough matters to state, federal and bankruptcy court. He is willing to take cases that others find too complex or challenging. He litigates and tries cases in Orphans Court, which here in Pittsburgh handles probates, estates and trusts matters. It is a unique area and a true specialization which most law firms do not have. Matt is tough and can be counted on to handle litigation matters for businesses and individuals."

  • 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.
