Excellent Attorney

I found Matthew after one firm already turned down taking my discrimination suit. Matthew went above and beyond to get me a great settlement. He gives really shrewd advice!

I can’t say thank you enough! Forever grateful for meeting Mr. Cairone

I’m beyond grateful and thankful for meeting Mr. Cairone a few years ago. Words truly can’t thank him enough for everything he has helped me with. My husband passed away from a 100% service connected disability and I was at a loss at which direction to go after his passing for legal matters that nee...ded addressed. Being a young widow I feel that many attorneys/lawyers took advantage of me when it came to all I was facing. I met Mr. Cairone in 2016, almost a year after my husband passed, and started opening up to him about the hurdles I was trying to go over with certain legal matters. He took to my story and without question told me to bring all the files to his house so we could go over everything and see how we could approach this case. He was very open, honest, and communicative through the entire process. He never gave up on me. He never took advantage of me. He was the greatest blessing that came into my life and put in so many hours of work on my case with my best interest always at the forefront. We were almost at the four year mark of my husbands passing and he reached out to me saying let’s give this a shot and file a lawsuit against this company. I almost didn’t do it because at this point I was discouraged by all the legal ups and downs I had dealt with to this point through other attorneys. He told me to sleep on it and advise by end of week. After a few conversations with my parents and much contemplation, I felt that if anyone was going to be able to help it would be Mr. Cairone. He worked diligently on the draft for the lawsuit and sent over for my review. I felt that it was above and beyond and an amazing chance to have in this case. The next day he sent me another draft (even though I approved the first haha) and again I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into this revised case that would be submitted. He filed the lawsuit and talked me through what could or couldn’t happen. He said this can take time, like it has to this point. He always kept in contact with me and kept me updated on everything that was going on. A few weeks after the suit was filed he called with a very positive call. He said that it looks like who we filed the lawsuit against wanted to settle out of court. I was blown away but not surprised because I felt the case he submitted was very meticulous with detail and an amazing representation of everything that my husband suffered through. Within a month and half total the case was settled and we won the settlement. The appreciation I have for Mr. Cairone is life changing. I faced many obstacles on my own after my husbands passing. Mr. Cairone 100% changed my life. He has allowed me the opportunity to pick myself up from all that I’ve been trying to rebuild since my husbands passing. And again, he never gave up on me. I can’t recommend Mr.Cairone enough. If I ever run into another legal matter I will contact him without a doubt for advice or representation. Thank you so much Mr. Cairone for changing my life. You have blessed me and I hope to bless people the way you do until I’m no longer on this earth.

Professional and Confident!

After lost hope and frustrations I was put in contact with Attorney Cairone. I had a consult regarding my legal issues and subsequently was retained. Attorney Cairone from the beginning was empathetic, professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Throughout the entire proces...s there was excellent communication and explanation of what was occurring. Attorney Cairone would send appointments reminders, documentation was able to be signed and sent using online programs. Email and phone communication was always prompt and Attorney Cairone would always advise the next available time he could be reached. I was confident in Attorney Cairone’s approach and trusted him to handle my case without worry. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate Attorney Cairone and his ability to connect with clients. His genuine personality greatly affected my view and emotions enduring one of the biggest obstacles in my life. I would highly recommend.

Employment Issue - EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION

I found Attorney Matt Cairone on AVVO and wasn't sure if I should call or not. Well, after my first phone conversation with him I felt someone at ease. After my first meeting with him, I knew this was the lawyer that was going to help me. He was prompt in responding to my questions, he explained e...verything to me along the way and made me feel not only comfortable but that I was well represented and that he was going to help me and that he did. He protected my interests, got me a settlement that I wanted and worked diligently for me. I highly recommend him!
