Matthew Vivian did an excellent job for us as his bankruptcy client. He and his staff were compassionate in dealing with difficult life circumstances. He helped smooth the way for us to achieve a fresh start. His communications were prompt and courteous. I would recommend to anyone facing bankrup...tcy.

Incredible

I hired Matt to assist me with my bankruptcy. Prior to hiring Matt, I spoke with other companies and attorneys that were not nearly as knowledgeable as he was. His level of expertise helped me through this difficult time. He was very thorough, organized, knowledgeable and responsive, and helped me u...nderstand the process and what my options were. I would highly recommend utilizing him if you are considering filing or want advice on what your options are.

Professional & Efficient

Mr. Vivian was extremely professional in handling my case. He was up-front with his fees so there were no hourly-rate surprises. The whole process was efficient and streamlined. His knowledge of the court made me feel at ease during a very stressful time in my life. He is a "no-nonsense" attorney... that can help clients navigate the complicated world of bankruptcy.

Not the best

He was kind of rude. He got the job done, but I would never refer him to anybody. I wanted to get my money back, but he already filed, so I just kept him.

"I have been referring clients to Matt for more than ten years. He has always been a great advocate for their needs and sympathetic to their individual situations. I trust Matt 100% with my clients. If he can help someone without having to file bankruptcy, he will. In those situations where filing for bankruptcy is necessary, I know that Matt will zealously advocate for his client and not leave money on the table for the banks and credit card companies to keep."
