Appeal Counter Argument (Person in Interest)

Matt had a daunting challenge, he was to reply to a writ of habeas/mandamus on his first family law case for complex contempt charges and was up against a seasoned retired judge who literally holds courses for how to win appeals of criminal contempt cases. Matt was brilliant in articulating his respo...nse in his points and authorities and used relevant case law and references to win the case over. Matt is a true professional who answered my calls at any time and explained the legalese where I was stuck. I highly recommend using him and Laura Dale Family Law. A&T's Dad
