Review Matthew Solomon

Fraudulent lawsuit

When a scam artist stole over $12000 from me and I didn't have any funds for a lawyer Matt and his firm took on my case. He's an amazing lawyer and communicates with his client regularly to update you during the entire process. Thanks again Matt. Always appreciate what you did.

There are not many people left in this world who are truly willing to provide you with a service that benefits you. Mr. Solomon reviewed my case facts and was honest with me not only about my options but about the process, cost and odds for success. He did not try to push me to move forward. Over a year later I had a legal question and he was there to help. He was kind, courteous, and super responsive.

Tenant/landlord Suit

5.0 stars

Posted by Jon

Matt was an excellent choice to run my and my roommates suit against our old landlord. I believe he charged a fair fee, especially compared to the amount that we were suing for. He was very knowledgeable in every aspect of our case, and kept us informed of every action that occurred. Matt was also able to give excellent advice on how to proceed with certain areas of the suit. When it came time to actually go in front of the judge, Matt was extremely prepared, confident, and had an answer for every question the judge asked, and a well thought out response to every accusation the Landlord's lawyer discussed. I was extremely impressed in the way he was able to apply the different aspects of the law to our case and have detailed knowledge to succeed. We ended up winning our case! Thank you, Matt, for your hard work in getting us a favorable judgement in our lawsuit.
