Horrible
I hired Matt to deal with my ex-wife who refused to parent our teens. Not only did he lose the case, I lost my right to drug test my ex-wife as it was a court order. This guy then had the audacity to refuse to refund the unused retainer until I threatened him with action. He claimed that my r...

Worth every cent!!
I hired attorney Mishak for a custody case that I had previously spent 3 years on with 2 separate attorney’s and still felt my children were not protected and I was completely misrepresented. Attorney Mishak is amazing!! He was able to get emergency custody immediately. We did have some set backs in ...

The attorney you will want and need
Attorney Matthew A. Mishak is truly one of a kind. He listens for facts and feelings no matter what your circumstance may be. He truly wants to know who you are and not just what your case is. I required a competent, confident and determined attorney. Hiring Matthew was a blessing as he met all these...

Great lawyer
Matt was very easy to get ahold of and talk to it. He was also very professional and knowledgeable. My case was fast paced and Matt was prepared for everything. I had a good outcome because of him and would never hire anyone else.
Thank you, Lindsey, for the review and trusting me to represent your attorney.
"As a criminal defense attorney, I have had Matt on the other side, representing the state, when Matt was a prosecutor for the City of Elyria. Even though we were adversaries, Matt was always professional and well-prepared. I have observed Matt in private practice. Matt zealously fights for his client. Matt does not back down when the going gets tough. Attorney Mishak is loyal to his clients and advocates for their rights."
"I worked with Matt when he was a city prosecutor. He was a zealous advocate and always willing to do the work to get the result he desired."
"I have seen Matt Mishak as few other lawyers have. Seated across the courtroom at the opposing trial table. Matt is bright, aggressive and a student of the law. He was not afraid to go toe to toe with this old, wily trial lawyer. He won some points and so did I. We came away bruised, but neither beaten. Need a criminal TRIAL lawyer in Lorain County? Matt is a great choice."
"I have had the opportunity to know and work with Matt in a professional capacity for over a decade. He is a dedicated advocate on behalf of his clients. Whether it is a phone call or an in-person meeting, Matt's passion and work ethic, along with his goal-oriented approach to addressing each client's legal matter(s), reflect his character and commitment to helping "people" in this fast-paced world we live in today. Without question, when I need a solid legal opinion that I can unequivocally rely on, I call Matt!"
"Easily, I endorse this lawyer. Matt was the chief prosecutor for the City of Elyria for quite some time. In that job, he was ALWAYS professional, courteous & prepared. Those are the qualities that all excellent attorneys possess. Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend Matt Mishak as an attorney in all matters."
"Mr. Mishak was the prosecuting attorney in an OVI case I was defending. He was fair with my client, and obviously very knowledgeable about the law."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is very learned in criminal law. Very professional every time I had a criminal case and he was the prosecutor I was dealing with. Very open policy with discovery. Is willing to take a step back to analyze the case from the criminal defense lawyer's perspective and the defendant to get a better understanding of all sides."
"I met Attorney Mishak when he was working at the city prosecutor's office. He is an experienced and intelligent attorney who is passionate about practicing law and serving his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"Being a pioneer in Drone Law, Matt has demonstrated that he is not afraid to explore new areas of law, including the use of drones for business. This type of leadership is key to great representation."
"As a former Civil Assistant County Prosecutor and high volume Criminal Assistant Municipal Court Prosecutor, Matt will bring both experience and knowledge to the bar and his client base."
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Matt when he was a prosecutor with the City of Elyria. He was very zealous in his pursuit of justice. Now that he has left the Law Department he brings that zeal, energy and experience to his Criminal Defense clients. Since he just starting out in private practice I would consider him one of the best kept secrets in Lorain County."
