Professional, responsive, and experienced

I contacted Matt’s office based on a few recommendations from friends. I had consulted with a few other highly reputable family law offices in town first and when I spoke with Matt’s group, they took the time to answer my very detailed questions and gave me case examples to make me feel more comforta...ble. I wasn’t rushed off the phone or given short answers. I had a unique situation that involved a paternity suit as well as real estate. Matt was able to navigate through the complicated portion of my case with ease. He was also able to offer solutions when I would get upset with the actions of the other side and help me get to a resolution faster. Although no one ever gets exactly what they want when it comes to a lawsuit, the outcome was suitable for me. My situation could have been a thousand times worse had I not had Matt and Alex on my side. Their experience really set them aside from the other lawyers in town and helped my case settle in an agreeable manner. I highly suggest having Matt and Alex on your side if you ever have a family law need. I’m very happy I did!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
