"Best of the Best"

Matthew Curtis is a truly excellent attorney. He and his staff, especially Linda, always treated me with the utmost respect. His extreme expertise, personability, and patience helped guide me through the crazy stress following my auto accident. Matt always answered all of my MANY question...s with kindness and made sure I understood the process. I will be forever grateful for all he has done!!! Matt Curtis went above and beyond throughout my entire case, even guiding me afterward- making him, in my eyes, "The Best of the Best." - Stephanie R.

Outstanding Attorney

Matthew Curtis was recommended to me and after the initial consultation with him, I knew that I didn’t need to look any further for an attorney. I would like to say my case was as easy as pulling a rabbit out of a hat, but on the contrary, I had a very difficult case. Matt believed in me for the st...art and worked very hard to get a judgement that far exceeded my expectations. He explained everything to me from start to finish and if I had a question, he responded immediately - Matt is the consummate professional. As I was leaving the building after my deposition, I bumped into the court reporter who took my statement and she stated, “you have a great attorney.” Although, I knew that Matt Curtis was an amazing attorney, it was nice to get confirmation from a court reporter working with hundreds of attorneys, that I did in fact have the best attorney. Also, I thankful for the staff at Somers Schwartz and their assistance with my case. Thank you Matt Curtis for everything.

Are you looking for an Attorney? Look no further.......

This was my first time going through anything such as a medical lawsuit or even working with an attorney. My oldest son, was born with an "undetected" heart defect resulting in the need of him being"revived" which left him a "stroke survivor". Our case was 11 years in the making with many ups and dow...ns. Our attorney Matthew Curtis never gave up. He was tough very professional and knew his stuff! Our case was very difficult and challenging therefore was very time consuming. Each step of the way Matt explained what was going on, what I could expect and he always kept in contact through emails or phone calls. If I ever had any questions or concerns Matt was just an email or phone call away- he was quick to get back to me too! Matt is sincere, kind and compassionate, he has become more than just our Attorney he is more like family! I highly recommend contacting Matt if you ever find yourself in need of a top-notch Attorney. His kindness, professionalism, wisdom and personal concern is astounding!

EXCELLENT

Mr. Curtis is an amazingly, incredible person and I am very grateful to have had him work on my case. He was only a phone call away and I always received a call back if I had any questions within an hour or so. He would fully explain to me what I needed to understand and on several occasions, made me... realize that he would go the extra mile for his clients to make sure they are content. I had an extremely tough case(many well known MI lawyers wouldn't take) and he took me and I am beyond happy with the results. You will be in good hands with Mr. Curtis. The whole office is so friendly, including his paralegals who I called several times with questions and they were so helpful. If it wasn't for Mr. Curtis and his wonderful assistants, I wouldn't be where I am today.
