CEO

Matthew has not only handled our legal concerns with a great level of competence and care but he has gone above and beyond our expectations to educate us to properly prepare for the situations we will face as we move along with our hiring and employee management responsibilities. This help has been ...an uncommonly effective for us and has led to avoiding costs and preventing unwanted consequences we would have clearly faced. Matthew is effective at creating a proactive and strategic approach to typically reactive situations. The most recent help we engaged Matthew for revolved around changes to the GA non-compete law. Matthew was able to help us to think through how those changes would affect our ability to protect our intellectual property in manner fair to our employees and future hires.

LaVallee Recommendation

It’s a pleasure to recommend Matthew LaVallee. I recently experienced firsthand his expertise as an employment attorney as he helped to guide me on endeavors where consulting fees may apply to business I was researching. In addition, Matthew offers a unique general counsel program for small to midsiz...e businesses; saving them lots of money by having a general counsel on call 24/7 for unlimited legal advice for a very reasonable flat fee. He can also individually handle any litigation needs that may arise. After all, his peers have seen fit to elect him again as a “Super Lawyer”. Matthew is a “roll up his sleeves” and “hands on” advocate for his clients. Thus making each business owner feel like they are his most important client.
