"Matthew consistently shows an impressive ability to dive into the law, uncover nuances missed by opponents, and construct strategies to take advantage of his findings. His ultra-organized approach to litigation seems to be his key to success. It allows him to be efficient, put stress on the opposing party, and focus on those issues that are truly important to the outcome of the case. Because of his habit of being thoughtful and organized, we rely on Matthew to identify and carry out some of the most difficult parts of our cases.

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.
