Respectful, Intelligent Lawyer

To: Whomever This May Concern I have only consulted with this attorney over the phone. Which has been 12-14 days ago, regarding a landlord/tenant issue. My parents and I are the tenants. We had numerous questions pertaining to the poor attempt our landlord is making relating to an eviction. In a n...umber of ways this is a wrongful eviction. However, he spent a great deal of time with me answering my questions, and going even further regarding more detailed explanations relating to month-to-month leases. Especially, within a neighborhood setting such as ours, a trailer park, and under MO Landlord/Tenant Laws, they're basically isn't any protection whatsoever for any tenant having a landlord conduct an eviction on them for noninvasive reasons, and no reasoning behind his agenda whatsoever. Not behind on rent, never have, never had issues with any of our neighbors for the years of 1996-2002 & when he resold us a mobile home were currently residing in now (December 3rd, 2013 - Currently Residing Still). Before I allow myself to get into more detail and drag on. Matthew Chase had understood my questions clearly, and insinuated that month-to-month leases can be terminated without any reason whatsoever. However, Matt had went further with his detailed explanations regarding our situation, and learned a hell a lot of important facts to go along with a decent knowledge pertaining to MO Landlord/Tenant Laws already. If you need a trustworthy lawyer whom takes time out to clearly explain the situation around the laws of facts. Even if he was able to take your case, or not. He'll go to infinity & beyond for anyone whom contacts him with respect, clarity, & can hold their composure regardless of the outcome of your potential case. God bless that there are angels out there still, especially within the lawyer field. God Speed, Matthew Chase, and keep up the phenomenal work!!!

Wow, thank you for that wonderful and kind review. I hope you don't need an attorney again, but I'm here if you do!

Great

I was on a road trip and got a speeding ticket in my corvette. I usually take care of my own stuff as as far as going to court and negotiating other charges but since I'm from California and just passing through I was at a loss. I wanted to keep my clean record. I reached out and Matthew handled ever...ything almost exclusively through texts and a few phone calls (perfect for me). The speeding charge was changed to a non moving violation for "defective muffler". Sure, I paid more but the clean record was important to me. His fee is reasonable.

Glad to help, and it's excellent to be a part of what I like to call the bribery industry. All legal, of course, but lawyers arrange deals to pay off courts and municipalities with gifts of money (often in excess of what the actual crime committed would charge), and in exchange we plead our clients guilty to things that did not happen - in this case a loud muffler (which of course was NOT defective), and ignore the actual infraction of speeding. What a racket, that I happily participate in.

Referred to by another law office.

Today I talked to Matthew to get some advice on dealing with my landlord and without hesitation he explained my rights and took the time to explain things to me so I understood. Thank You Matthew!!

Painless

Matthew made it very simple. Very concise on what paperwork was need and dates the court needed it by. I would use him again for any traffic tickets I receive.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. While relatively new to avvo.com, I run across Mr. Chase's answers with some frequency, as we both practice in the same state and area (albeit 250 miles apart). It's rare for me to read one of his answers and not recognize my immediate agreement with it. His answers are direct, yet complete, and objective yet compassionate. If his client interactions are anything like his avvo.com answers, it's hard to imagine a client leaving unsatisfied or non-victorious."
