Customer Negligence

I hired Matthew back in August 2019 to work on my husband's spousal visa. We were living in Ireland so we connected with him by phone. He seemed very professional at first when he was onboarding us. Then, as I gathered all of our documents and had questions he began to not reply to emails. I woul...d have to follow up 3 or more times to get him to answer. He would take over 2 weeks to respond to urgent questions regarding my case. I finally scheduled a phone call with him through his online booking system. He failed to show up 2x. He said he was sick or in a car accident. I finally told him I was unhappy with his service and uncomfortable with him handling my sensitive information. He refused to give me a refund even though he failed to uphold his agreed upon service outlined in our contract. I felt neglected as a customer. He eventually stopped responding to any form of communication and did not want to resolve the matter so I had to escalate my case to the Minnesota bar.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Stayed Suspension; Probation issued in MN, 2022

updated on 12/02/2022

Stayed suspension/probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. The State also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
