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.

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.
