Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Mark is a careful and thorough attorney. His work is good and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
I am in practice with Mark, and have seen the high quality of his legal work, and his skill in working with clients and opposing counsel. Mark is approachable, willing to put in the work required for your case, and is able to get quickly to what needs to be done. I would no hesitate to refer anyone to Mark.

Relationship: Co-worker
I have known Mark Matney for years and I've always said that he's one of the very few people I would ever partner with (and now, happily, we have our firm together -- Reece & Matney). He has an incredible work ethic, excellent character, and the highest integrity. He cares about his clients and works hard on their cases to get them the results they need. In addition, he's just a great guy. Smart, resourceful, and compassionate. He's brings his same excellence to the practice of law as he has in all other areas of his life. I highly endorse him.
Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
