I have practiced Family Law and Military law in Maryland for about 25 years. I give my strongest professional endorsement to Mattie Fore. Ms. Fore worked for me as a young attorney several years ago in my Family Law practice. I had an opportunity to observe her legal work as well as her client skills nearly every day. Without a doubt, Mattie was the brightest and most knowledgeable young attorney (at that stage of her career) that I have ever worked with. In the years since she worked for me, Mattie has became an outstanding trial lawyer. She is a compassionate (as well as passionate) advocate for her client's rights. I would gladly hire Mattie to work with me again. I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family looking for an outstanding attorney in the Palm Beach area.

I endorse this lawyer. Hiring a lawyer is an expensive process and sometimes you are disappointed that so much money has been spent and very little has been accomplished. Mattie Fore is not a lawyer who will disappoint you. If you want someone who knows what they are doing, will move your case along aggressively, and not cause you to go bankrupt, hire her. Her natural talent for what she does outshines most who have been doing this for decades. If I ever needed a lawyer, I would be calling her.

I endorse Mattie Fore. I had the privilege of working with her in the same courtroom on a daily basis. As the prosecutor on many of the cases she defended, we had our battles. We even battled on a few trials. Mattie is a fierce defender of her clients; she leaves no stone unturned. Yet, through it all, she remained absolutely professional and a pleasure to work with. You can rest assured that Mattie will represent you with all her legal vigor!

Mattie and I tried many cases as co-counsel in the seven years we worked together. She's very skillful and professional in the courtroom and does a great job of keeping the client informed and engaged throughout the legal process. Mattie is great at coming up with creative trial strategies and negotiating the best deal possible for her clients with prosecutors. Highly recommended.
