Thompson Law

I've known Matt for several years. He is very knowledgable, professional and trust worthy. I used him in a legal matter and he provided excellent legal advice.

Top Class Attorney

My experience with Matt as nothing short of fantastic...he was excellent to work with and I would have no hesitation in hiring him to represent me or my company again.

Legal Counsel

Mr Thompson was very helpful and courteous pertaining to advice provided for a potential civil proceeding. Additionally, he did not charge a fee for his information as he stated he did not perform any "legal work"; this in itself speaks volumes for his integrity.

Great at taking your money!!!

I hired Mr. Thompson to aggressively defend me for a crime I did not commit. All he did was continue the case month after month. He did manage to squeeze another $600 out of me for his retired detective buddy that provided me with information I already knew. He did file one motion, but only after I m...ade suggestions and then told me that the plaintiffs do not have to follow the ruling on the motion. He didn't pay attention to or look at the evidence I submitted, which would have made a huge difference in the case. He rarely responded to my emails and phone calls and eventually withdrew, kept my money, and left me with no help. This is not an attorney you want if your life and career and safety depend on it. He doesn't want to take the time to answer questions and explain the process. He is not personable, compassionate, and understanding. He wants a lot of praises and pats on the back - I'm just not sure for what. In short, he took $2600 from me and basically did nothing except to file a motion to continue month after month. When I would ask him a question, he would get angry and tell me to leave his office. I was asking reasonable questions and I am paying him for information and assistance to clear my name from people who just want revenge because I want the rules followed and enforced. It is a sad situation and somebody needs to develop a conscience before he continues to practice law and make or break a person's life. In closing, the best advice I can give to people seeking legal help is only pay a lawyer to properly file necessary paperwork ( as this is sometimes not an easy thing to do unless you are in the know) and do the rest yourself. When I did it this way, I won in court! The other times in court, it didn't really go my way - which is sad too. Honesty is not taken seriously in the court system - a hard lesson I am still trying to figure out. Very very sad!!!

I hope that anyone who reads this can see the bias nature in which this was written. Unfortunately, as lawyers we represent a wide array of people and we have to make our best judgment of those people when we first meet them. It does not always work out the way we hope. We also put ourselves at the mercy of the internet and allow anyone to write a review. The nature of our practice prohibits us from giving the world our side of the story and I hold the sanctity of attorney/client privilege with the utmost regard. I will not stoop to the level of this person to address what he or she has stated about me. I would invite you to do a bit more fact checking and please contact anyone whom you trust in the community to give a fair and accurate review if you are considering hiring my firm. I thank all of my current clients and former clients for their support and allowing me to represent you in cases that are important to you.
