Review Matthew Meyerkord

Minor Legal Woe Just Went Away

Posted by

These guys can handle the big issues, but they can also help you out of a jam in a traffic incident. I got probably six different attorney letters afterwards offering their services, but I wanted more personal service, and Matt was so good at letting me know where we stood in the process. I didn't worry about a thing while he handled everything. It couldn't have been easier, and a bad situation was made better. Thanks, Matt!

Excellent Service

Posted by

Matt was very thorough with my case. He handled it professionally and quickly. I could not have asked for better service. He made me feel at ease and kept me informed each step of the way.

Excellent Law Firm to Work With

Posted by

I recently worked with Meyerkord Law Firm for a personal injury case. I had a lawyer previously who didn't think that my case was worth her time because she didn't feel the pay out would be large enough. When I took my case to Matt he was honest and upfront about everything. He always kept me in the loop, whenever something was happening I knew within a day. He never made any decisions without previously consulting me. It was such a change from the previous counsel I had retained. He was more than willing to put in the hard work and showed the other party that we were serious about our claims. I would reccomend his law firm to anyone that wants a responsible lawyer, who is down to earth, upfront and honest about what could happen, and willing to put in the time to make sure everything is done right. We were about to go to trial when finally the other party settled, I know if I had continued with the other law firm I wouldn't have gotten anything.

The Great Tall One

Posted by

When I met Mr Meyerkord and discussed my issue, I told him there was no way anything would happen. Mr Meyerkord told me he was willing to try so he took on my case and went to work. . Doing the time Mr Meyerkord kept me informed and knowledgeable specially since I thought he was wasting his time. To make this short he did a great! job. and won my case. So from my point of view like Tony the Tiger says he iGREAT! very down to earth, approachable, Okay I might be a little bias, because he did a very good job for me.

My Case Was In Good Hands

Posted by

Matt took care of everything. Along the way he would explain things to me in a way I could clearly understand. He would offer advice, ask for my opinions, and then he would get things done. I would hire Matt again (although I hope I don't need to).

Matt handles a variety of personal injury matters, but he is most recognized for his ability to handle wrongful death cases. If you know a friend or family member who may have a wrongful death case, Matt is the go to guy. He has a wealth of knowledge in the field, and he brings the vigor and zeal that you want to see in your lawyer. For those reasons, Matt has experienced remarkable success in recovering for his clients. Accordingly, I highly recommend Matt for any personal injury or wrongful death matter.

I have known Matt for more than a decade and recommend his work. Matt is dedicated to the law and to his clients. Matt takes a personal interest in each case and even donates 5% of his fee on every case to a charitable organization related to the subject matter of the claim.

Josh Myers, Trucking accident Attorney on Sep 23, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Matt is an excellent injury attorney. In fact, I often suggest to injured individuals who call me from Kansas City that they speak with Matt.
