Not the average attorney

Has always took the time to get on the phone when I needed help for myself or family. Was told by another attorney Matts knowledge exceeds most when it comes to criminal law. And that by far is the truth. I'd do anything to return the favor. Most attorneys won't even get on the phone. Thanks Matt for... not only being in my defense but also being a true friend.

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.
