I have referred clients to Matthew, who have been very pleased with his service. He has an exceptional reputation in the community for integrity and legal skills.
John Evans, Trademark infringement Attorney on Nov 2, 2009
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
I worked with Matthew for over four years. Matthew was my primary associate at Adams Evans P.A. in Charlotte, North Carolina. During his tenure with our firm, Matthew was the epitome of professionalism. He is a true gentleman lawyer. In addition, Matthew is a creative thinker, excellent problem-solver and strong writer. I think anyone who retains Matthew's services will be very happy. Lastly, Matthew is probably the best IP bargain in Charlotte. Smart, savvy and cost-effective - what more could a client ask for?
