This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Professional

Their office staff was extremely helpful and they were able to respond to all my questions and helped me feel better about the situation I was going through by explaining the process and steps I should take. They are amazing and kind and I will definitely be trusting them for any legal matters I have... in the future. Good lawyers are hard to find and I'm glad I was able to find them.

Professional, knowledgeable, caring

My frustration had been growing in thinking I had no recourse against an unscrupulous broker who had taken advantage of me and husband. I found Matt Thibault when investigating the questionable stock recommended by my (then) broker. Ironically, there was a link on their website to Matt's firm for vic...tims of investment fraud. With just one phone call, he set my case in motion, which ultimately resulted in recovery of my loss. Matt is thorough, and speaks in a manner which a layman can understand. Knowing I was emotionally charged, he assuaded my anxiety, and kept me grounded through the process. His entire team is profession, thorough, and makes pertinent documents available timely. I would highly recommend Matt Thibault to represent victims of investment fraud.

Exceptional Attorney

I was referred to Matt by a well-known local attorney. Matt asked all the right questions and took the time to explain my case from all possible angles. Throughout the time I spent working with Matt on my case, he has been responsive to all of my questions, and I felt comfortable from the beginning... with his extensive legal knowledge and expertise. Further, I've gotten to know Matt well, and he is an all-around great person who cares about his clients. With the successful resolution of my case, Matt has set the bar extremely high for any future legal needs I may have. I highly recommend Matt without hesitation.-

"I had the pleasure of working with Matt when I was the Chair of the Palm Beach County Bar's business litigation continuing legal education committee. In May 2016, Matt presented a very well prepared and extremely well received presentation on securities arbitration. Through the manner in which he presented the materials, myself and all those who attended were able to see that he knows his craft and is experienced and well-versed in securities arbitration. As a consequence of my interaction with Matt Thibaut, I would recommend him to anyone with legal issues involving stock brokers, investments, or securities fraud."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
