Relationship: Worked together on matter
Matt is very talented attorney. I still call him to brainstorm when I am faced with complex appellate matters, as his innovation, work ethic and intelligence are second to none. I have witnessed first hand the dedication he has to his clients and his willingness to go above and beyond in attempts to address their issues. Anyone would be lucky to have Matt as a lawyer and if I were ever in need, I would not think twice before hiring him myself.
