Generosity in Action

I appreciate Matt Law and their generosity. Today as I was visiting Vinoy Park for Shopalooza, Matt Law was giving out free bike helmets. Well, the kids I needed helmets for were not with me. They are kids who we adopted for Christmas. We purchased 3 bikes, but not the helmets. We're elated Matt Law ...gave us 3 helmets. Great way to help our community.

"Attorney Powell is the BEST set apart from the REST!

Atty Matt Powell came highly recommended by my therapist@ Life Center. I suffered a major injury August 2014 due to no fault of my own. Not only was I severely injured. I had lost hope in our judicial system with no direction believing that my civil rights had been violated. I made the call to At...torney Powell's office left a message and to my surprise my call was promptly returned within the very same day, not by the office paralegal but Atty Powell himself listening attentively with compassion to my emotional state and concerned over the telephone. Unfortunately, my case was not of one that he could take on, however that didn't prevent him from providing information and guidance moving me in the direction in what I could do independently to get the attention of those person's that would be key players in getting me the positive reaction that I required! I personally didn't have much faith nor confidence in Attorney's due to prior negative experience. I truly say THANK you Atty Matt for restoring my faith in Attorney's as you're the BEST set apart from the REST!

An attorney willing to listen, gather information and take a chance

I went for a consultation many years ago with Matt Powell. He listened patiently while I explained my situation. Even though I could tell he wasn't completely convinced that I had a case, he agreed to represent me. It was a long hard battle, but he continued to dig deep into the facts. He was very de...termined. In the years that followed, my case became very public. He never wavered. He was by my side through every public interview and continued to keep me updated at all times. I have referred many friends and relatives to Matt since my case was resolved. I can't think of anyone who was not satisfied with the end result of his representation.

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

Several years ago, I was the victim of a DUI hit and run. Fortunately, the hit and run driver's car disintegrated not far from the scene of the accident. Matt took care in making sure that I was taken care of in every possible way, even coming along to provide support when I gave my deposition for th...e criminal portion of the case.
