We own a mobile home subdivision in Bradenton, Florida. In 2009 we hired Matt Taylor to represent us in a law suit involving a resident that had not paid assessments. He was fantastic as a litigator. We won that law suit and hired him again the next year for another similar case, but this one last...

Would not use
Mishandled, Basic mistakes that cost substantial money for a different lawyer to correct. No support from the firms partners when I informed them of my dissatisfaction.

Replied last October 09, 2013I have since learned that this review was posted by a client that did not want to pay his final bill with me, despite my having obtained a great result for him and his business in a construction litigation dispute. I regret that he was upset enough about me asking him to pay for my services, that he resulted to disparaging me on a public website. Again, I wish him and his business well and, I am glad that we were able to obtain great results for him in his case.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.
Admonishment issued in FL, 2006
updated on 06/26/2012An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Matthew’s comment:
“This was a citation for an advertisement in newspaper ad that was placed by my firm and not by me personally. The ad was determined to not meet all criteria specified by the Florida Bar and was donated as part of a "Women in Business" supplement to the local newspaper. It was simply a case of trying to do something good for the community and getting cited when doing so. Unintentional and no harm caused by the same to any clients. It was just a short newspaper ad that the Bar didn't like.”
