This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Consultation

Matt W Zeigler is a very nice person. He is very easy to talk to and he listened to my concern with my specific case at work. God bless him and his family. Very nice person and talked to me over the phone and gave me advice with what to do until I decided to obtain him for council with no pressure. I... believe and trust in Matt. He's tall too. Two thumbs up. :)

Called for consultation

I was notified I was under investigation for possible fraud with the UIA. I contacted 2-3 lawyers for counsel/representation. All of them took my information, and my case details, and would say they could not advise me until I paid them between $300-$700. Matt Zeigler listened to my case over th...e phone for 30 minutes and told me how to approach my situation. If the UIA proceeded with its case, he wanted me to call him back, and he would be happy to provide representation. Well that was over four months ago, UIA closed out its case and will not be pursuing anything regarding my case. I followed up with him to provide him some compensation which he declined. I know he does not work for free, and I appreciated his advice. I am planning to use Matt Zeiglar if I am ever in need of legal counsel in the future.

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.
