Best there is!!!

Finally a Lawyer that you can trust. Highly intelligent and he does not miss any detail. From the very beginning he gave me the confidence that we would win.He and his entire office made me feel as if I was the most important client there was. He attacks your case with ferocity while keeping your b...est interest at heart. He really cares. The case was dismissed! I highly recommend his services to anyone regardless of race religion or nationality. An elite professional from start to victory!

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I first met Matt when he was an assistant DA. I was so impressed with him that I hired him to help me. Matt now handles his own docket including felonies and federal cases. He researches the law and finds an out for his clients. If that doesn't work, he will try the case. Matt is very good in trial because he connects with juries. And he wins! Matt is an excellent attorney."

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.
