Posted by Dwight Z | April 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Business

Impeccable representation; responsive and thorough

Our firm was referred to Mr. Fedor for business legal matters. He has helped with start-up formation that includes IP and shareholders that has evolved into other business needs. His knowledge is vast and is very responsive and accessible.

Great Attorney

Matt was a great resource for me to understand the trust process and help me through the entire process of estate planning. He took care of everything for me. In my last review of the trust and estate he explained all the new laws and how they affected me. What a great experience! I would recommend... Matt to anyone.

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.
