Diligent, thorough and capable attorney.

I have engaged Matt to perform legal work on a number of varied issues. He has exceeded my expectations on all engagements. Everything from real estate, to contract reviews, to collections. In addition to being knowledgable and thorough on all reviews/filings, Matt has provided me with strategic... ideas to approach situations which I never would have thought of on my own. I look forward to working with Matt in the future.

Creditor Claim

Matt represented us in filing a claim against a creditor who had filed bankruptcy. He handled the claim effectively and efficiently. He also went above and beyond the call of duty as he recognized that another creditor's claim didn't look right. We had him look into this and his instincts were rig...ht. He managed to more than double our proceeds in the bankruptcy distributions. Instincts like this are not taught in school. It's nice to be represented by someone who has street smarts as well.

Both Sides View

In my first relationship with Matt he was representing a supplier that we had used at a problem job. In communicating and talking with him about this problem he was fair with me and willing to listen to reason. When that was resolved I contacted Matt to ask if he would be interested in representi...ng us. He has now represented us as our legal council for a couple of years. He is knowledgable, thorough and he cares. No one likes attorney bills but it is certainly better to pay the bill to someone you like.

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.
