Bankruptcy and debt Attorney | May 02
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"I have known Matt for years and have worked as his Associate since 2014. One of the most personable and charismatic attorneys that I have met in my decade of practice, Matt is widely renowned for his skills in bankruptcy (chapters 7 and 11, and creditor representation), litigation, receiverships, and general business representation. He has the characteristics that are needed to excel in those practice areas: the technical chops, the fortitude and guts, and the ability to get to the heart of a problem.
Matt provides excellent services to his clients and has an excellent reputation that precedes him. Having grown up in a small Ohio town (Lima) he has a way about connecting with people and making all feel comfortable even in the most serious situations. His manner also comes across quite well in the courtroom, where his technical abilities combine with a convincing style to make the best impressions on the judiciary.
I highly recommend Matt."
