EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I was on a lawyer search for a couple months having consult after consult but something did not feel right with each attorney. Then I met with Matt and immediately I knew that he was the lawyer for me. He had a nice calm demeaner and he wasn't too in your face or aggressive. He had a "chill" element ...but not one that would make you think he didn't take his job seriously. It was the perfect amount of "chill". He was also very reasonably priced. After I hired him he was available anytime I called or texted him and if he was unable to pick up he also got back to me in a reasonable time frame. Also Matt was well informed and knew exactly what he was talking about every time. I had 3 hearings with him and one without. He prepared me so well for the hearings that when I was in the hearing office I was calm cool and collected. Not a nervous bone in my body. I chose to go to the one hearing without him because it was an informal one and he had prepared me so well for the two previous hearings that I was confident in myself and everything we went over that I felt like I could knock it out and I DID!! Even so he still offered his services for that hearing. Matt was always professional and the courteous. He prepared me for any and every situation. And he always would say "We can meet as many times as you would like, its up to you." but he also didn't have a problem with saying "I think we might need one more meet up before the hearing." So I knew he always had the best for me in mind. Matt is an excellent attorney and if I EVER need an attorney again I will be contacting him. And I recommend him for ANY and EVERY situation or case you might have.

Knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive

This was my first experience hiring Matt to provide legal services. He coordinated the sale of our house, and we very much appreciated his help navigating this tedious process. He was very prompt in responding by phone and by email to answer questions and coordinate the necessary communication with ...our buyers' attorney. He was very patient with responding to our many questions to understand the real estate sales process. He assisted with finding us a surveyor who was both prompt and competitively priced. The closing process went very smoothly with his lead. We look forward to working with Matt again on additional legal matters, such as living will and estate planning.

Real Estate Closing

We were very pleased with how Matt handled our closing. We asked a lot in terms of last minute requests or time constraints and Matt always stepped up - providing insight, counsel, tireless efforts and responsiveness any time a 'fun' nuance popped up. He was terrific to work with and we appreciate a...ll that he has done. Both of us would recommend Matt in a heartbeat.
