Client
Matt helped my husband with Social Security/Disability 2 different times and explained everything to us so we could understand it. It was peace of mind for us. He was very knowledgeable. I feel he really cares about the clients and I would highly recommend him to other people.

Excellent Attorney
Mr. Liebenhaut was handed my SSD case, which I must say was a very difficult one with short notice and very little time to prepare; however, he jumped right in and took over as if I had been his client for years and won my case. This type of attorney is rare. Thank you Mr. Liebenhaut.
