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.

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.
