Excellent Attorney

Attorney Mattie Fore, she's an excellent attorney. I hired her when I faced a very difficult time in my life. I was facing criminal charges that would impact my life greatly. Attorney Fore took the time to really pay close attention to my case and she gave it her all. The investigative techniques tha...t she uses demonstrates that she is very proficient in her job. I was able to successfully win my trial. She really makes it an easy and comfortable process when you feel like all is falling apart. Having someone that will fight for you legally can really make the process bearable. I would recommend Attorney Fore if you ever need legal Council.

Add Domest8c Battery to her title

I met Mattie by chance. I was lost in the system trying to recover and she was the one who guided me to redemption. It was not an easy battle but well worth it. She fought for me the entire way. I am forever in debt to her for her diligence and dedication to my case. Do yourself a favor and retain he...r from the onset of any criminal or civil proceedings. She is worth her weight in gold.

Gratitude For her service.

Hi,good day to you My name is carlos and in 2013 my life as a free man was almost at a sure end,at that time mattie was a public defender and like most people in the jail system that wasnt the way to go if your looking to get the best outcome of your case,especially going to trial on a 25years to li...fe if i was found guilty felony charge. With mattie it was quite the opposite she slaved on my case she brings the best investor she does her best to cover all areas of the case within the confinds of the law..to me and im sure alot more grateful people can say the same..trust her your interest comes first in her book and i have first hand experience of her work.. Thank you soo much again Mattie i owe my freedom today to you and God!! I wish you a wonderful life continue to help others as you did me.

Dedicated lawyer

My son is currently incarcerated, but thanks to this wonderful lawyer, his stay may be very brief. My son is grateful that a friend recommended her because we were lost and almost made a costly mistake. Mrs. Fore is determined and her fees are totally doable. Would most definitely recommend.

Family lawyer | Feb 02

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"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."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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!"
