I have worked with Attorney Lavallee on several litigation matters and can personally attest that he is an extremely skilled and zealous advocate for his clients. He has the legal acumen necessary to thoroughly evaluate cases to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. He is also well respected by other lawyers in the litigation community, and is a lawyer that I would recommend to represent any of my own family members and friends.

Matthew is an exceptional lawyer and an all around great guy. Matthew has an extremely solid grasp and understanding of substantive labor and employment law. He also works tirelessly on his clents' behalf timely and effectively apprising them of their rights and remedies and aggresively representing their interests in a professional, sophisticated manner. I have the highest respect for Matthew's legal skills and judgment. As his colleague and friend, it is my pleasure to endorse him as one of the most knowledgable and capable labor and employment attorneys I know in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

I endorse this lawyer because I am familiar with his work in the civil rights and employment defense area. I have known him for many years and find his work to be uniformly excellent. Having practiced 37 years in this area myself, I believe I am in a unique position to judge both his effectiveness and his professionalism and both are exceptional. I would not hesitate to associate him on a case or refer important matters to him. Steve Curry

I endorse this lawyer. Matthew has the talent, integrity, and honesty that lawyers should aspire to possess. He is completely dedicated to his clients and looks to their best interests even if those interests conflict with his own monetary concerns. Perhaps the highest praise comes from the fact that he would be my attorney should the need arise.
