Review of Matthew Greene

"Matthew Greene is the epitome of professionalism. He was extremely respectful of me as a client, going above and beyond the call of duty on my case, and ensuring the whole time I was well-informed of all my options. He is in expert in his field, and it is apparent that he seeks only to protect the b...est interests of his clients regardless of their situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice and/or representation."

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.
