Matthew Wood and his Team at Litico Excelled in Representation and Character

I can write a lot of things about Matthew Wood and his team at Litico and the excellent skill and character they have: Trustworthy. Knowledgeable. Competent. Ethical. Analytical. Tenacious. Strategic. Articulate. Successful. Matthew’s team excelled in every one of these traits for very reasonable fe...es. I had over a million-dollar lawsuit for fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty - very complex legal matters. He settled the lawsuit before trial and I am extremely content and extremely wealthier as a result. If you want winners, this is the legal team to hire.

Not sure what you are looking for here.

Matt won a case that was unprecedented in Illinois. Very involved and difficult suite in which Matt did much research and caused through his efforts a win for me.

Couldn't be happier!

I had a very good fortune of finding Mr. Wlodarczyk (through Avvo) as my attorney. He handled my case with efficiency, kept in touch whenever there was news, and always responded quickly when I asked questions (he actually answers the phone himself when he is available and makes you feel like he is a...lways on the front line with you; I was kept up-to-date on all the details of my case and always given options with each decision). He is honest, straightforward, professional and sincere in the way he conducts business, and at the same time very personable and likable. Mr. Wlodarczyk was able to settle the case in a timely manner and I feel very comfortable recommending him as a legal counsel.

Great business attorney

Matt represented me in a very contentious business dissolution case. He was very invested in the case and fought hard for my interests. After months of litigation, we eventually settled the case. I would recommend Matt to anyone searching for a business litigation attorney.

Competent Professional Attorney

While no one enjoys hiring an attorney, I'm glad I chose Matt. In part, I chose him because he was one of the very few lawyers working hard on Saturday evening (most others asked to leave a message to be returned the following Monday). Matt was always available, going the extra mile for me. Professio...nal and competent (law degree from great university). He never gave the impression that my case was just another case among many. Reasonable rates. Moreover, Matt was mindful of keeping costs down for his client, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, he seems like a decent guy as well. Highly recommended.

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.
