"Matt is an intelligent and talented lawyer and CPA, but that is not why I refer my tax clients to his office. I refer people I know and trust to Matt because of the quality of service he provides to his clients and his client-centric approach to both tax and tax law. He is thorough, experienced and well-versed in the tax code, but most importantly he makes every client feel like they are his only client. No question is too difficult for him to answer, or too inane for his time. For these reasons, I highly endorse this lawyer."
