Great attorney - very versatile

Matt is a terrific attorney - very down-to-earth, easy to communicate with and does what he say he will do when he says he will do it. Not only does he have good legal judgement, he exercise a lot of common sense. He managed a child custody issue for my grandson - expertly, efficiently and fairly. ...Subsequently, he also managed a criminal case which he was able to resolve without a lengthy court battle...in a plea bargain that was a great deal for everyone. Although prepared for a court battle, it wasn't necessary. You won't be disappointed with Matt. His prices are reasonable and he is a nice guy!

Excellent Attorney

Matt is amazing at what he does! In my very stressful situation he was reassuring, easy to communicate with and knowledgeable about the law in my case. He responded back with answers or other options in a timely manner. I do not live in the county my case was filed in. Matt went above what was neces...sary to make sure I was kept informed with what was going on in my case. He made things work so I didn't have to take off lot of time from work and do a bunch of traveling. I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for his help. I would highly recommend him as an attorney for your case!

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.
