      Matt did a great job with handling my probate case. He was efficient and accurate, and didn't run up excess charges. He truly cared about helping me during a difficult time, and made the process as simple as possible. I would highly recommend him and would use him again. Thanks Matt!

      Best lawyer we've ever worked with

      Posted by

      Matthew Quick is by far the best lawyer we've ever had the pleasure of working with. Our situation was complicated and highly unusual, so his detailed, thorough analysis of all the options was immensely helpful, as was his ability to explain the options clearly to us. The information he provided not only helped us make informed decisions, but gave us peace of mind when we needed it the most. He was very responsive, replying promptly to our emails even on weekends or off hours, and looked for ways to keep our expenses as low as possible. Thanks to Mr. Quick's intelligence, efficiency, and pleasant personality, a situation which could have been extremely stressful was resolved without difficulty. He is an outstanding lawyer, and we can't recommend him highly enough!

      Real Estate closing was a breeze

      Posted by

      As a Realtor that works with dozens of attorneys, I am slow to post good reviews. Matthew helped fill gaps in communication and became my go-to resource for updates on the transaction. I'm going to recommend him to our 'trusted' list for our office of 100 agents!

      Knowledgeable Attorney

      I hired Mr. Quick when a business deal went bad. He did a great job. He was very professional and worked very hard to attend to all of our needs. He kept us very informed on the process as it was happening and all of our options. It was a very drawn out process, Mr. Quick was very patient with us and was there with us through ever step of the way.He stayed very persistent and got the results that other lawyers could not achieve. What also made working with Mr. Quick nice was, he is very down to earth and personable. Very easy to get along with and made it easy to ask questions if we had any. I would highly recomend Mr. Quick. I would deffinatly use him in the future if needed.

      Skillful Estate Planning Attorney

      Mr. Quick did a wonderful job with our estate plan. He met with us at our convenience, had the documents prepared when he said he would, was reasonably priced, and very courteous. While preparing the documents, he kept us informed and followed-up when necessary. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a hard-working estate planning lawyer.

      I recommend Matthew Quick

      Estate planning is too important to do on your own. The help of an experienced and trustworthy attorney is crucial, and Matt fulfills both of those qualifications. I have recommended him to my family, friends, and business associates. He is an asset to any estate planning team.

      Highly recommend this professional and intelligent attorney

      Posted by

      Mr. Quick was extremely upfront with the challenges and limitations my partner and I faced when it came to estate planning in the State of Michigan. However, he also educated us on what we could do to mitigate the obstacles and protect us and our heirs to the highest extent possible. Mr. Quick kept us informed of the entire process and exceeded every one of our expectations. We had the opportunity to interact with him in a couple social settings and his level of confidentiality was the best I have ever seen it in my professional career. I have the utmost trust and professional and personal respect for Mr. Quick and would not hesitate to call on his expertise in the least bit. In fact, I regularly consult with Mr. Quick in situations that warrant his advice and at a minimum I look forward to reviewing our estate and other legal matters on an annual basis.
