Estate Planning

Matt Quick Attorney and Kelly Berry Paralegal did the work necessary to simplify the process for our estate planing. Their experience and knowledge made a difficult task simple and uncomplicated with directives and a Will. Their response time equates to an older generation, fast and always thorough. ... Estate planning is very important thing to do and having Matt on our team was great. At signing with all documents properly prepared, Matt worked with me and explained everything in terms that anyone can understand, as Kelly followed along with my wife. Matt and Kelly Berry are always striving to improve clients relation. I have recommend Quick Law to my family and friend as a qualified and trustworthy person and attorney. Reminding them it’s not too early to be prepared.

Great Experience

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

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

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

Attorney Matthew Quick made our estate planning a simple task. He walked us right through the process from beginning to end explaining each step and why it is important to have. He answered all questions with great knowledge and is still willing to answer any questions.

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.
