Great attorney!

I got into a traffic case, so I consulted Mr. Chase first and he said he would help me reduce it to a lesser offense. I then hired him and he was patient and helpful during the whole process. He took care of it and I don't need to worry about a thing! Thanks!

Good Communicator, Prompt and Effective

As a landlord, I relied on the reviews on this site as a basis for reaching out to Mr. Chase to help me file a couple of rent and possession suits ... and I was not disappointed. Not only is he is knowledgeable and experienced, but he has an excellent awareness of court schedules to ensure that fili...ngs are made timely and the nearest opportunity not missed. He is also an excellent communicator and never fails to get back. I recall sending him an email on a Sunday morning, presuming he would see it on Monday and email me back ... but instead, he CALLED me that Sunday morning barely a few minutes after I sent it. Will definitely use again, if needed.

Very glad to have helped, and we always try to keep on top of court schedules and such, in order to make sure that when rushing is advantageous, we do so. (Note to everyone else - the Sunday morning thing is not encouraged... :-) The wife will kill...)

Excellent Service, knowledgeable and honest!

Matthew was extremely helpful when consulting with me in reference to my landlord/tenant case. He saved me a lot of time and money and was very patient in that he took the time to address all my concerns with empathy and straight-forward answers. I am confident in my decision now and feel much more a...t ease with my options in my situation. I would recommend his service to anyone if they want an exceptional attorney!

Eviction of a dead-beat tenant

My tenant had not being paying her rent on time and then she lost her job in October, 2014. I should have gotten a lawyer then, but I tried to manage it myself. The tenant finally got a job again in January, 2015. She became current with the rent, but was not paying down the arrears I was also g...etting complaints from the neighbors about noise. I filed for an eviction and went to the court hearing expecting my tenant not to show. My tenant did not show up, but her attorney did. I was out of my depth. I didn't want to go before the judge against her attorney so I delayed the trial date another 4 weeks or so. When I got home I asked a friend for a Landlord & Tenant lawyer. I made an appointment with the lawyer, and much to dismay she was going to be out of town on my court date. Her solution was to text Mr. Matthew Chase who she had met in court where he represented a Land-lord and she had represented a tenant. She had been impressed with Mr. Chase and thought he would be a good fit for my problem. And right she was. I texted Mr. Chase and we met a couple of days later at his home office. There and then he filed for a hearing and forwarded all the pertinent materials to my tenant's lawyer. He convinced my tenant's lawyer to agree to have the tenant leave the premises on June 30 and agree to pay court costs, arrears rent and late fees. He also added an additional penalty to the agreement, in case the tenant was not out by June 30, which she was not. Mr. Chase was available 24/7 for questions. I texted him on July 1st when the tenant had not vacated the premise on June 30. He replied within the hour even though he was in Canada and celebrating Canada Day with his in-laws. Mr. Chase was exactly what I needed in an attorney and I will use him the next time I have the need to evict a tenant.

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Mar 20

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."

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.
