Would highly recommend

Matthew Foster has been working on a complicated case for me for several months now. He has always been available to me when I needed him and has given me excellent advice so far. I would highly recommend his services.

Posted by anonymous | November 04, 2008 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Great, honest, and smart attorney

Matt represented me in a FSU hearing, an injunction, and a criminal case. The case should have never been charged in the first place, but my first attorney dropped the ball. He fixed (as much as he could) the mess my old attorney left me with. He was quick in answering my questions, ethical in his... actions, and fair in his billing. Hiring an attorney is never a fun process, but he walked me through the process, provided a fair assessment of the situation, and did what needed to be done. I wish I had hired Matt in the first place instead of someone else who messed up the case. If you need a solid, ethical, and smart attorney, hire Matt Foster.

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.
