Diminution of Value Claim

Matt was knowledgeable and helpful with a claim I had been fighting on my own for 6 year. It took him 1 week and 1 letter and the other lawyers closed their file and took no further action against me. Matt kept me informed about my options, his actions, and the entire process. I recommend him highly....

Phenomenal Attorney!

Matt was very understanding and listened to everything I said without prejudice. I can trust his judgement and guidance on what needs to be done to best handle my situation. Matt took on my case with confidence and had a resolution in under a month. I am very grateful for his assistance and would re...commend his support to all friends and family.

Highly Recommended!

Matt served as our legal counsel in a property damage case. From day one we knew our case was in good hands, because Matt is the perfect representation of what a lawyer should be. Anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting or working with Matt can see he is a man of integrity, very competent, and d...etail oriented. Matt is as a kind and approachable person, but can be tough, very intelligent, but up for a challenge, and is one of the hardest working professionals we have had the pleasure of working with. His genuine desire to go above and beyond for his clients is amazing. He is the type of person that takes time to assure his clients are informed of and understand what can often be a very confusing process. Matt has proven to be an invaluable asset, and we are fortunate to have had him on our team.

Quick Resolution with Contractor on New Home

We came to Matt for help in resolving issues with a contractor that wasn't completing the job they were hired to do on our new home. Matt was able to negotiate a quick resolution and release of funds for us to get our home finished by an outside contractor. During the process, Matt was thorough in ex...plaining reasonable remedies and solutions, quick to return phone calls. He was great to deal with: knowledgeable, honest, ethical, personable. We have known Matt for a few years and know he is a man of integrity. We would highly recommend!

Highly recommend his legal services!

Matt Meade's legal counsel came highly recommended to me by another (also highly recommended, by a co-worker) attorney I had called whose schedule was too full to take my auto accident injury. I had never sought legal counsel before. I did not know what to expect and I felt a little intimidated by th...e whole process, but I'm glad that I hired Matt to represent me. Matt is very personable, energetic, and upfront in his personality and tenacious and a "go-getter" in his professionalism. He worked hard to advocate on my behalf, he is detail-oriented, and he routinely spoke with me personally and updated me on the status of my case. If I called his office and he was not readily available, he always returned my calls shortly thereafter. He is an honest person and he doesn't sugar-coat anything. I knew every step of the way what to expect. I respect Matt Meade as a person and I respect his professional integrity. I would highly recommend Matt Meade to anyone looking for a good personal injury attorney. I can't thank him enough for his expertise in his field and due diligence in bringing my own personal situation to a successful outcome.

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.
