Matthew Sunderlin Review

Mr. Sunderlin was a tremendous help to us through our estate planning process. He was extremely patient and ask appropriate questions to help guide us through various scenarios that we had not thought about. I will definitely use him again for any future legal or estate matters and will recommend ...him to my friends and family.

EXEMPLARY

Matt is an exemplary elder law attorney. He was knowledgeable, professional, and patient as we considered his guidance and recommendations. Aside from his keen attention to details was the superior treatment of me, and my family. We highly recommend Matt and his team.

Good Elder Law Attorney w/ some Special Needs experience, too.

Matt brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with Elder Law to the table. My wife and I were updating our wills, durable powers of attorney, advance medical directives. Also, we were having a TOD Deed prepared property to transfer a house to my daughter. Our family situation is complex since w...e have a special needs autistic adult son. The product that Matt and his staff produced took some time to prepare but the final product definitely meets our needs. Matt has considerable experience working with the Special Needs population, having worked with CCT in the past, and that experience was useful in this process. Matt's staff, particularly Tracy, was quite helpful in the process as well.

M.D.

Mr. Sunderlin is very knowledgeable about estate law and we found him to be honest, and good at explaining what we needed to know. He patiently answered all our questions very well. We highly recommend him!

  • 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.
