Best in Gwinnett

I was referred to Matt when seeking to replace my current representation. Matt was compassionate and understanding. His background was particularly suited for my case, and he agreed to take me on as a client. While Matt did believe that my case had merit, he took a very pragmatic approach to my ca...se and setting expectations. While the case took some time to resolve, Matt never made me feel like my case was not a priority. In the end, his strategy and persistence lead to favorable outcome. Matt, I can't thank you enough for what you have done for my family. We had a lot a stake and throughout it all, you never wavered and your consistency demonstrated that we put our trust in the right place!

Excellent help and service

Matt provided valuable advice, help, and representation in my case. He and his paralegal, Colleen, kept me informed at all stages of the case, helped me find documents needed for the case, and successfully ended the case. Many thanks, Matt!

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.
