I’m writing this review for my friend Connie Vitantonio as she has no knowledge of technology and doesn’t know how to use the internet.
Attorney Matt Bangerter represented Connie in a shoplifting case which went to court on 8/24/21.
Connie wanted me to convert how deeply grateful she is for the excellent way in which Matt represented her. As a result of his superb skills, Mr. Bangerter was able to get her a result that she was very happy with. She also appreciated how respectful he was with her as well as appreciating how nice and courteous the office staff was whenever she spoke with them on the phone.
She highly recommends Matthew Bangerter to anyone seeking legal council.

I can't say enough about how great he was.
Matt was a pleasure to work with, he really helped me through an extremely troubling time. When the justice system doesn't work or isn't fair, it's great to know that there are people out there like Matt. He will fight for you, fight for what's right and won't stop. I really can't say enough about how great he was. Although I hope I don't need to talk to him again, it's great to know that he's there if needed.

Cleaning up cases (and tears)
At my most vulnerable, Matt was there to keep me grounded. Aside from his obvious intelligence, Matt is kind and truly does want the best for his clients. He never hesitated to make time for me (or my tears). I've used him as counsel on three different occasions and each time he has gotten me the desired results. I trust him with those things I hold most valuable - my life, my liberty, and my sanity :) I'm grateful to have found him when I did.

Impressive and Gets the Job Done!
We hired Matt to help my fiance out of a sticky situation that he was involved in and had no idea what to do, what to expect or what the outcome could look like. Right from the start, Matt showed us his knowledge of the law, experience in working with the legal system and we knew we were in good hands! Not only did we get the most positive outcome we could hope for, we felt supported and a part of the process the entire time. We were never left wondering what happens here, what do we do, what do we say? Matt guided us through the entire process and we would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Matt! We are forever grateful for your help during this difficult time for us.

Professionalism at its finest
We needed a top notch lawyer to resolve some legal issues. We were so glad we hired Mr. Bangerter. He is extremely intelligent, and professional. He always returned our emails and calls when we had questions or concerns, no matter the time of day. He prepared us for court and walked us through step by step. He always had our best interest at heart. He is well respected in lake county courts and in the juvenile courts as well.
You’d want him by your side if you are ever in a scary situation!

Amazing Attorney!
The night I was charged with theft and drug possession was the worst and scariest of my life! Matthew Bangerter helped me through this horrible time. From the first phone call he answered all my questions professionally and with compassion. When we met he explained all outcomes and what to expect. At the pre-trial we had the best possible outcome, he was able to have the felony charge dismissed and for the theft charge I was put on the diversion program. I would recommend him to anyone needing guidance.

Prompt and Professional representation
Matt did a great job of representing me in a Domestic violence case. He was able to get the charges and fines reduced, plus I was able to re-coop half of my bail money.

An excellent choice!
I've never had an occasion to use a lawyer so when I needed one and Matt was recommended to me I didn't know what to expect. Matt was knowledgeable, direct, honest and patient, made me feel quite comfortable through the entire process. Answered the plethora of questions I had and made sure I was informed at every step. He always made sure I was prepared for each stage and that I knew what to expect. It was obvious he put in the time for me and the quality of his work was top notch. Wouldn't hesitate a second to hire him again in the future. Thanks Matt for making what could have been a painful and scary event much easier to take, you did a great job!
