This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

In a different class.

Referred by a friend to Donald Shapiro, the firm took on my case. Mathew Bassinger was assigned the case. Early we had some road blocks, and Mathew made some changes to keep the suit alive. I've never been involved in a lawsuit, but he made things very easy to deal with. This malpractice suit involve...d a death, the care Mathew took helped us move through the process. In the end despite some obstacles Mathew secured a settlement me and my family are content with.

Proficient, highly skilful legal practitioner

Matt Basinger, Esq. is adept at all matters pertaining to his field. He expeditiously secured a monetary settlement for a car accident case that far exceeded my expectations. Always professional yet never aloof, Matt Basinger is quite polite and always a gentleman. He promptly returns telephone calls... and written communications. I never had to wait more than 2 minutes to see him for an appointed meeting; as an agoraphobic person, that is quite important to me. I was never made to feel uncomfortable about not understanding all aspects of the law; Mr. Basinger listened well and patiently explained whatever I did not understand. He was always thoroughly prepared for our meetings; he never had to stop and search for information, it was always at hand, an indication of his highly analytical thinking process that makes him anticipate various scenarios and be prepared. If I ever find myself in court, I'd want him on my side! I highly recommend Mr. Basinger and the Shapiro legal firm.

Excellent Client Advocate

Mr. Basinger always explained every detail of my case thoroughly, he never made me feel rushed and always took the time to really listen to my questions or concerns. He cares about his clients and what they are going through, I highly recommend Mr. Basinger for his dedication and honesty.

Matthew Basinger - the lawyer who gave us confidence.

It is hard not to rate Matt excellent after being rewarded with a life changing settlement in a medical malpractice case. Even after the first interview with Matt regarding our case, I and my wife felt that all skepticism vanished and were inspired with confidence and hope. For the duration of the pr...ocess we were regularly informed and assured that the case was moving in the right direction and we never felt neglected or in some way loosing our hope to find justice. Matt has a very warm personality, he is compassionate, he has this unique ability to understand the pain and suffering you have to deal with when you are mistreated medically. He is always ready to assist you with all legal technicalities such as depositions, explaining how the process works etc. The first and foremost, we succeeded in our case and Matt played significant role in that success.

Grateful

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.
