Would highly recommend Matt !

Thank you to Matt for being thoroughly professional and very easy to work with! He was able to guide me through a process that I knew nothing about and laid out the working plan in a clear and understandable manner. Having to work remotely did not present a significant obstacle, communications went s...moothly and response was always timely. I would also like to say that his staff is also very organized and helpfully reminded me of details I did not anticipate. Thanks Matt!

Patient, Knowledgeable, and Respectful

Thank you for your encouragement and integrity....

Mr. Hurff, My wife and I sincerely appreciate your assistance with our case. Without your encouragement, we would not have pursued our issue further and my wife would've obsessed about our wedding day for many years. Your integrity shined during the entire time we worked together and this was ve...ry comforting!

Excellent Lawyer and a Good Person

I've had several very difficult and complex family law issues to deal with and Matt (and his partner Laura) were excellent attorneys. They were true professionals who truly cared about doing the right thing for me and my son. Matt had a knack for getting me to calm down and see the big picture when I... was getting upset and fearful. He did a great job educating and coaching me through my very contentious divorce. I recommended Matt to two friends, one for divorce, one for adoption, and both reported back to me how happy they were with Matt's work and the results of their cases.

Highly recommended attorney Matt Hurff

Matt Hurff is a very knowledgeable, trust worthy, and caring attorney / person. He served as my attorney for a lengthy child custody trial. I am a father in Maryland. That said alone often makes men feel like they cannot fight for their children or have a fair trial. Matt calmly and patiently put tog...ether a sincere, detailed, successful case. He takes the time to understand the issues and challenges and sorts them into what he has learned the courts find relevant. He gets things done quickly and accurately and is highly respected. He is backed by a team with an impeccable reputation and his office staff are wonderful folks as well. I would highly recommend Matt Hurff to represent you..

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
