This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Worst decision I ever made.

This lawyer fumbled my case, and when I fired him he made it impossible for me to get another lawyer. I wouldn't never let him represent anyone I cared for. Look elsewhere. There are plenty of fine lawyers.

This review is very concerning to me. A quick search on google, avvo and facebook shows I've never received anything other than a 5 star review. I don't recall having been fired any time in the past few years, and since you posted anonymously on April 20, 2019, I'm unable to address your specific concerns. Regardless - Please feel free to contact me offline and I'll be happy to make every effort to make things right for you - whomever you may be. If you you were ever really my client, then you have my personal cell number to contact me directly. Matt Abbott

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

Knowledgeable and insightful attorney.

I contacted attorney Abbott concerning a potential case, he listened and gave me some very helpful information. It turned out my potential case was in another jurisdiction therefore attorney Abbott referred me out to another knowledgeable and skilled attorney. Thanks for your time, patience and refer...rel.

Workmens Compensation

I needed to find a lawyer that practiced in Alabama, after having spoken to another lawyer...(bad experience). I contacted the Abbott Law firm, they took the ball and ran with it. I was kept informed throughout the litigation process, and was more than pleased with the outcome! Matt is a pleasure to ...deal with, I would recommend Matt to anyone in my own family. That's as good as it gets!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
