Good and quick turnaround

I hired Matt for a Prenup review. Matt got in touch with the other party's attorney, reviewed the prenup, provided his interpretation and advised on what to do. Matt was very thorough in his work, always very quick to reply to email and very available. Matt also had reasonable rates. Would definitiv...ely recommend.

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.
