Very Nice Attorney

I consulted with Mr. Landis in the office for over an hour. Don't be intimidated by seeing him because some attorneys will give you an answer you don't want to hear or be rude., but not Mr. Landis. Went to consult with him for my Unemployment Appeal with the Referee. He was very friendly and actua...lly LISTENED to you, and wasn't even biased like some attorneys are. Saw him very quickly and he would've represented me even though my hearing was in less than a week from when I saw him. If I had the extra money to retain him, I would've in a heartbeat. Don't ever go to an Appeal Hearing by yourself like I did, because you don't know if your employer will show up.

First Time Experience with a Lawyer

As someone who had never used a lawyer before, Matt made the estate planning process simple and easy to understand. He was great at walking me through the process and reviewing everything with me while answering any questions I had. I walked away feeling prepared for the future and at ease. I would r...ecommend Matt to anyone looking for legal counsel or advice. He is very professional yet easy to relate to and understand in an area that can be extremely complicated.

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.

Durable Power of Attorney

Mr. Landis prepared and executed a Durable Power of Attorney for me and my sister on behalf of our elderly, but still competent mother. The POA is comprehensive, in complete accordance with my mother's instructions and fully compliant with New Jersey law, where she resides. Mr. Landis was especial...ly sensitive as he explained the process to my mother and prepared the documents in a timely fashion. We were completely satisfied with his work and would engage his services for any future legal requirement.

Sound advice and genuine professional

I have known Matt for a very long time and he was naturally my first choice when I found myself in a predicament over a damage incurred to rented equipment that I had signed a waiver on. He was able to walk me through all possible outcomes, repercussions and legal avenues. I greatly appreciated his... advice on my email responses to the company I was in dispute with. Generally speaking Matt is an inquisitive, insightful individual with a strong passion for his field and a continuous desire to learn. I value his input on all intellectual matters even outside of the legal realm.

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.
