This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney!

After meeting with several prospective attorneys, I retained Matt to defend me in a multiple-count white collar federal criminal case, and his stellar performance was the critical factor in convincing a federal judge to dismiss all the charges, thus sparing me from the time and expense of undergoing ...a lengthy jury trial. Matt possesses all of the key traits of a successful trial lawyer. He’s a skillful and persuasive orator at court. He’s very detail-oriented, and didn’t hesitate to dive into all the nitty-gritty specifics needed to fully understand my case. He set aside extra time to listen to my perspective. He is an expert drafter, and all of his court filings were clear and comprehensive. He knows the law, and takes the time to research case law so that nothing falls through the cracks. My case was highly complex, and involved tens of thousands of pages of government discovery. Matt used his unique ability to digest a huge volume of materials and quickly hone in on the issues that mattered the most. Because of his efforts, we were always one step ahead of the experienced team of federal prosecutors lined up against me, and this proved critical to our successful defense. Finally, it was clear that Matt genuinely cares about each of his clients, and is willing to make sacrifices to achieve the best possible outcome for them. Matt has earned my highest possible recommendation. Thanks!!
