Don’t hire him for family law…or any other law

Very arrogant. Has no desire to do what you want, only what he wants. When you question what he’s doing Kopecki threatens to quit. He has bad billing practices. Horrible lawyer. Take your case somewhere else. You’ll be very happy when you do.

Perry Mason Moment

I hired Mr. Kopecki and in the end got the results I was hoping for. Hire him.

None Better

Represented me in a 1st DUI case. I had prior convictions and Mr. Kopecki was up front with me through out the whole process. He worked for me and tried to get me what I wanted which was ARD. Both of us knew it would be a long shot. Mr. Kopecki came through with a win. I was so happy with my decision... to hire him. I called other attorneys who had outlandish fees. Matt's fees were reasonable and I couldn't have gotten a better attorney. Trust me. He gets the job done.

Bad business practices

Attorney Kopecki went more than 18 months without sending me a bill. When he finally emailed me his bill it stated I had 30 days to pay. When I immediately questioned some of it he sent my account to a collection agency 6 days after he said I had 30 days to pay. Save your money, save your credit... score and hire another attorney.

Bad billing

I hired Kopecki for a family court matter. While he did obtain an OK custody order for me, he did not send me a bill for over a year and a half, and when I got the bill it stated I had 30 days to pay. When I questioned the charges, instead of discussing it with me, he sent it immediately to collect...ions 6 days after I received his bill. 24 days short of the 30 days he gave me to play. Instead of discussing my concerns, he sent it straight to collections. Save your credit score and hire another lawyer.

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.
