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.

Great Business Litigation Attorney

Matt has been great to work with- he has always been responsive and knowledgeable. He provides clear, concise legal advise so we can make decisions quickly. We will be using him for all of our construction business's legal needs.

Posted by Mathew | August 05, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

Honest and Compassionate

Going through a divorce which I am deeply saddened if you are, it's never easy on yourself or if you have children. Going through a divorce I had originally went with another firm who literally robbed me of thousands of dollars before any proceedings even started. I contacted Matt and he was open a...nd willing to help with my needs specially regarding my case. Matt was fast and took over my case ASAP. Matt was understanding of my needs and was honest about everything that came to my case. He was not the attorney that was out to just take my money and run. Matt was prompt and quick with all responses and was there for every little question I had. Billing was extremely reasonable and worked with me to fit my needs. In the end, my wife and I decided to stay together and Matt was understanding and let me make my decisions for myself. He was not a "bully" and put my wants and needs before anything else. If you are looking for an honest, compassionate, and determined lawyer Matthew Wlodarczyk is the lawyer to contact. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone facing a difficult time.

True Professional

Matt was a true professional and made my life so much easier. Matt explained through the legal jargon and helped me understand my options. Matt did an excellent job of responding to my questions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone else that needs help with family law.

Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Matt to anyone in need of a divorce/family lawyer. Matt is an excellent communicator and returns calls/emails quickly. His attention to detail and professionalism put me at ease through what is undoubtedly a stressful situation for anyone. He is dedicated and has a strong att...ention to detail, so I felt fully confident in trusting him to handle my divorce. His professionalism ensured that everything went smoothly and quickly. Matt definitely exceeded my expectations. If you're reading this and need a lawyer, look no further.
