Swenson

Matt did a fantastic job that displayed a complete knowledge of the bankruptcy process. He was absolutely everything we could've hoped for working through what could have been a somewhat humiliating set of circumstances. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

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.
