Fought hard for me

Matt represented me regarding contempt charges against my ex for his refusal to follow the conditions of the divorce decree and turn over assets to me. Complicated and difficult case and I am so very thankful he was on my side representing me. He argued on my behalf so brilliantly and fiercely that... my friends who attended the hearing to support me told me afterward how impressed they were with his tenacity, skill, and knowledge. He stood up for me and did not let the opposing attorney get away with a single one of his attempts to twist the truth. Cannot praise Matt and his firm highly enough! I could not have endured the very long and extremely contentious hearing without Matt on my side fighting for me. I don't know how he could argue so well for so long (2 hours!) without making a mistake or showing emotion with what the opposing attorney was claiming, but he did. So instead of feeling completely stressed, I was able to sit back, relax, and let him handle it all. I feel If had hired a lawyer from another firm, I truly would have been in trouble. I hope I never need legal representation again but if I do, I will call BlackClay immediately. Honest, reputable, knowledgable, and fight very hard! Highly, highly recommend!

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.
