Annulment

Matthew was great. During Covid he patiently walked me through what needed to be done to resolve my annulment. Very good rates very good service. I recommend him and his firm.

Provided exceptional service for real estate transaction and personal business affairs

I have hired Matthew as counsel for multiple issues from 2018-Present. He has provided high-end service for both my personal affairs through real estate legal services and my small business. As a first time home buyer in 2018 I was quickly coerced into making an offer on a townhouse. The real est...ate agents representing me did not disclose that they were "transactional agents" until I made an offer. The real estate agents did not best represent my interests as "transactional agents" have no fiduciary responsibility. I hired Matthew to review the contract and act as the "point-man" for my communication with the real estate agents. Matthew made several key edits to the contract when I made my counter-offer to the seller's counter-offer. THIS WAS CRITICAL! The key edits changed the sale away from as-is and we later found out the real estate agents did not disclose water damage in the garage, a malfunctioning HVAC system, and roof damage caused by Hurricane Irma. Because of Matthew and his persistent actions in the transaction, the seller was responsible for the repairs. This was a savings of $8000 on my end in future repairs. When the two real estate agents walked off the job after they were guaranteed commission Matthew was there. He provided services at the close and the level of quality was incredible. Matthew and his law partner did an excellent job and I have retained Matthew and his law firm to help with my small business. I run a mid-size technology hardware firm and every month we get hit with credit card and chargeback scammers. Matthew is able to guide me through the process of recovery by filing demand letters and working with me when dealing with the credit card and payment companies. This is on-going and happens at random times - Matthew is always a phone call or text away when this happens ... 24/7. Matthew's services are timely, efficient, and get results. We have never missed a deadline on paperwork or a call. I will continue to tap Matthew and his firm on future real estate transactions and my small business affairs as no one is able to fulfill my needs better than him.

Great Experience!!!!

If you are looking for the attorney that get the result fast and effective, you need to call Matthew Karim. Matthew is a very attentive knowledgeable and very approachable attorney. I had a very hard time dealing with my ex-business partner to return my money back, it has been almost a year try t...o deal it by myself until I almost give up and not to pursue the matter. Finally I decided to call for free consultation, Matthew agreed to meet with me the same day as I called and gave me very helpful advise. After I decided to hire him, I got all my money back in 1 month and the attorney fee is reasonable and affordable.. Thank you Matthew and Alexander for all your help ....

"Matthew is an excellent lawyer who only becomes better with each passing day. He is constantly researching when not advocating full-force for his clients. He has given hope to those who other lawyers wouldn't even talk to. He has a world's perspective and speaks some French. I can't endorse this attorney highly enough."
