Mr.

On March, 2021, we were involved in a collision car; the other driver who hit our car was drunk. A friend of mine highly recommended the legal services of the attorney Mr. Matthew Crist; so we contacted him and he took our legal case. Mr. Crist clearly let us know, what he need to start the legal lawsuit. These gentlement, Mr. Crist, resolved our case in less than a year. We are so grateful of his kindness and professional services. God bless him.

Malpractice

Mr. Crist did a wonderful job helping me with my case to get the best result. I’m very thankful for his work ethics, dedication and compassion.

Confidential

Matthew was brilliant. He helped us better understand the legal situation at hand and provided clarification. He proactively initiated and took care of business. He was courteous and understanding. Would highly recommend.

Great experience working with Matthew

I was dealing with a negligence lawsuit in which I was the defendant in a dog bite case. One of the first things that stuck out to me about Matthew was his candor and quick replies; as well as his experience in handling dog bite cases. He helped me navigate a settlement offer that was beneficial to both parties, as I found myself in rather unfamiliar territory. I truly feel that, with his help, this was the best outcome that I was going to get and was happy to have him guide me through the legal wranglings to get to that outcome. Thank you, Matthew.

He Delivered!

After approximately 2.5 years in the courts and three (3) Attorneys later, I finally found Attorney Matthew Crist. He is smart, ethical, and professional; he is always prepared; he knows your case (no need to keep recapping); he connects with you; but most importantly, he delivers what he says he will deliver. I send everyone I know to him. He will represent you well -- with honesty and truth. Finally, after three (3) years fighting, he delivered what the others failed to deliver - an end to the case and a huge WIN for me. No fanfare, just facts!

Best Lawyer Ever!!!

My wife and I contacted Mr. Crist for advice and assistance with a problem we were having with a home improvement contractor. We were at an impasse in trying to resolve the problem. Mr. Crist took the time to learn the history of the problem, and he recommended a course of action that he could undertake. We hired Mr. Crist, and he immediately contacted the contractor as our attorney. In less than two weeks, the issue was resolved. Thanks to Mr. Crist's intervention, we had all of the money we had released to the contractor in the process of being returned. I would highly recommend Mr. Crist. He is personable, thorough, and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to engage his services again, and I would refer anyone needing legal counsel to him.

Mr. Crist was not just our legal counsel but we felt a true bond. I felt as if Mr. Crist was a friend, a brother and a hold lot more. We laughed and we took things serious together. Thank you Mr. Crist for all you done.

Response from Matthew Crist June 28, 2022

Mr. Walls, thank you! You are very welcome. I hope you're well.

An attorney that actually cares AND knows his stuff!

It was hard to find an attorney to even return our calls. We contacted every contract and construction law firm we could find and they were all TERRIBLE. Only one guy got back to us and he just talked over us half the time. That guy agreed to take the case but we didn’t like that guy because some friends recommended Matt. He called us back. He listened. He paid attention and he gave us his thoughts. After the awesome free consult, he was hired him and all he did was deliver after that. We are still approaching litigation with our absolutely terrible builder, but we couldn’t be happier that he is in our corner.

Matt to the rescue

"I hate you". Those are the first words I spoke to him at our initial meeting. I had just gone through a nasty divorce, where my own attorney was negligent. Several attorney's later, I spoke with Matt. I wish I had run into him in the first place. Matt stuck with me through the entire arduous process. As I told him when it was all over, there was at least one attorney on this planet that I liked. Hiring Matt was a great decision.

Fair and competent

Matthew Crist represented me in a malpractice suit. He communicated clearly, prepared beforehand, and impressed the judge. Matthew Crist was well-read on the relevant case law and was told by the judge he plead it appropriately and did a great job. I strongly recommend Matthew Crist if you need an efficient advocate in your "corner"!
