No problems

I contacted Matt Downes to help me attain surplus funds from a foreclosure. He took care of the entire issue with the only request of a few documents. I had trouble just finding a lawyer who understood the problem and knew how to proceed. Mr. Downes knew the procedures and how to secure the funds for... me. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Matt helped us recover from fraud

When I purchased my home it was sold to me under the premise it was connected to city sewer and water. After the sale it was discovered the home was actually not on city sewer or water, but in fact, had a well and a septic, both of which were failing. Matt looked through the document trail and was ab...le to clearly demonstrate both the seller and real estate agent had both intentionally mislead me. Matt helped us go after them both and recover enough money to at least repair the failing systems. I've since called on him for smaller legal matters and every time he provides excellent advice and service.

Outstanding Lawyer

I have used Matthew Downs as my attorney and found him to be most professional, very knowledgeable always with favorable outcomes. I used him for a real estate closing as well as personal debt and estate issues. I will continue to use his services for any legal work I need.

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.
