A trusted resource and partner for any small business owner

As a small business owner, it is easy to get caught up in the day to day management of your business and lose sight of various legal filings or protections one should have in place. Having Matt as my business attorney gives me reassurance that these items will not fall to the wayside. He is incredibl...y knowledgable about small business formation and PA laws & regulations. In addition to his guidance, responsive communication, and accessibility on a attorney/client level, he also provides a great resource through his law blog. I appreciate knowing that he has his finger on the pulse of important topics and information. Since entrusting Matt as my business attorney, I feel an overall greater level of confidence, which allows me to focus on running my business.

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.
