Confusing law suit, lots of twists and turns, with court interference even, discouraging. What had seemed a possibility wound up slowly diminishing over time, but Matthew stayed alert and on top of each push back seizing the final opportunity for success. Quite impressive and I sure am grateful.
"I had the chance to work with Matt on a case and he was very impressive. He is always well-prepared and fights aggressively for his clients."
"I have worked with and known Matthew for over ten years. He is ethical, professional, extremely hard working, and dedicated to advocating for his clients. I couldn't recommend him highly enough."
