Great Lawyer

Matt was the only lawyer who was willing to fight against the lies from police officers and witnesses in my case. We ended up winning the case are very grateful for everything he did did for us.

Excellent Attorney

Our family consulted and hired Matt for representation a few years ago. He has been our attorney since that time. Matt is very professional, and knowledgeable. Matt kept us up to date of the progress of our case. Matt is friendly and approachable. All questions regarding a case are fully explaine...d. All calls are returned in a timely manner. Our legal issues were resolved with a positive result. I would absolutely recommend Matt for legal services.

Highly Recommended Attorney

Matt Kolodziejski is an excellent attorney. After a negative experience with a different attorney during my pre-trail proceeding, I hired Matt to handle the trial. With only a week to prepare for trial, Matt developed a strong defense strategy, gathered witnesses, submitted necessary motions and ...I was ultimately cleared of the charge. Following my successful criminal defense, Matt has promptly advised me on the implications of filing a civil suit and I plan to continue working with him on that matter. I highly recommend Matt Kolodziejski’s representation a really appreciate his efforts. Throughout this disturbing experience of being falsely charged with a crime, I learned first-hand how difficult it can be to find a lawyer with a genuine interest in serving client needs. Matt has demonstrated a tremendous level of professionalism, competence, versatility, empathy, tact, responsiveness and intellectual rigor.
