Posted by anonymous | February 06, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Excellent advisor in a tough situation

We worked with Matthew on 2 separate occasions as a company failed to provide promised services and then breached the initial settlement agreement less than 6 months later. Ultimately saved us thousands of dollars and a clean break from the company involved.

Awesome Contract Lawyer

I interviewed several lawyers to defend a lawsuit filed on my company in Dallas. I was impressed by Matts overall knowledge of the issues surrounding my case and he really seemed to have deep insight into how to answer the suit. I retained him and within about a week he had convinced the plaintiff to... drop the case as we clearly had evidence and we were not looking to pursue the matter any further. It was exactly the outcome I was looking for, very practical and honest lawyer with great business and contract skills.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I found Matthew to be among the best attorneys that I have met on an opposing side. He completely understands his area of practice and uses a no nonsense, no games, approach to advocating for his client. I have referred a couple cases to him and I believe that he will no doubt do an excellent job. I would recommend Matthew to anyone seeking serious representation from a straight forward advocate."

Avvo Rating

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.
