As an appellate attorney I spend a huge amount of time reviewing the work trial lawyers have done on my cases. Matt Fry is one of the most intelligent and focused trial attorneys I have known in my 45 years of law practice. He is meticulous in his research and preparation, smart and incredibly thorough in his analysis of legal problems, brilliant in figuring out and implementing solutions, and relentless in his pursuit of justice for his firm's clients. Matt is held in the highest esteem by judges and his fellow lawyers. We have worked together on several cases. His abilities are extraordinary.
