Seamless New Business Set Up

I reached out to Matt a few months ago requesting assistance forming an LLC. Admittedly, I am a fast talker and tend to jump around topic wise, especially when under stress. Also, I have worked in positions where my responsibilities commonly overlapped/required the assistance of attorneys and have no...t always had the best experiences. Matt took all this in stride. He was able to ease my nerves and went above and beyond to help me. What I was most impressed with was his responses to my questions. Based off previous experience, I expected a short response; however, Matt would first answer my question, then he would explain to me the reasoning behind his answer and potential outcomes if I choose to go another route. He did so in a manner that I could easily understand and any additional questions which resulted, were met with the same thorough and kind response. Furthermore, these answers were then typed up into word documents so that I may easily reference them later. Matt, again surprised me when he went out of his way to provided me with non-legal assistance related to starting up a business, including recommending a YouTube channel showing how to design my website. This was not done during any charged time but rather, just because he wanted to help. This type of service is hard to find and is so important when going through stressful circumstances. I whole heartily recommend Matt to anyone requiring legal assistance.

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.
