Great Employment Attorney

My company has used Michael V. Matthews countless times and he is adept at helping us to navigate difficult employment issues. In today’s times, being an employer is tough, with the ever changing and developing laws concerning employment issues. Also, it seems that employees are getting harder and ...harder to work with and the ever present possibility of litigation. If we have a question or an issue, we call or email him and are able to tap into his 30 plus years of experience. He speaks from experience and an amazing knowledge of the law. Michael offers not only his knowledge but also takes the time to educate you on the issue and the law. Our company has used Michael for years and will continue to use him in the future. As the owner of several businesses and as a former fire chief, I know the issues employers face and have been most impressed with the professionalism and knowledge Michael has brought to our company.

He has kept us out of trouble and always given us good legal advice. Choosing Mike for legal assistance w...ith labor issues would be an excellent decision.

  • 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.
