Very responsive and thorough.

Richard was very responsive to my desire to prepare a will and we met quickly and defined all the details. He offered advice on things that I had not thought of and allowed me to ponder those options on my will. In conclusion, together we completed the drafting, finalizing, signing, filing and reco...rding of my will with the courthouse. All set for the end and am very satisfied with Richard.

Great, caring attorney.

My experience from beginning to end with Mr. Mattersdorff was nothing less than fantastic. He was patient in answering legal questions, quick in answering phone calls and efficient in providing written documentation for resolved cases. Additionally, he was reasonably priced and affordable. Would de...finitely recommend him for any attorney needs.

Highly Recommend

I live in an entirely different city and Mr. Mattersdorff has helped tremendously with a difficult estate situation. He is easy to get in contact with, extremely thorough, and efficient in his work. I am glad I trusted him with this case.

Elderly abuse

Mr. Mattersdorff is a wonderful attorney! Not only is he very knowledgeable but is also very compassionate and a good listener. His fees are also very reasonable. My 94 year old aunt was being mentally and physically abused in her own home by a close family member who was living there..supposedly... to take care of her. This abusive family member refused to leave the premises. After explaining the situation to Mr. Mattersdorff..he started the eviction process right away in order to remove the abusive family member from my aunt’s home. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Mattersdorff..having him represent me gave me great peace of mind. I am extremely grateful to have found him.

Non responsive

Referred by the bar association and was eager to accept the fee via money order. Said he would take my case but would not respond to phone calls, email, or text messages. He was supposed to be representing me but has not filed anything for me it done anything to help.

I am not your attorney. I do not represent you. I am not "supposed" to represent you. I never said I would take your case. You kind-of suggest you sent me money; you did not. Step 1 would have been a consult with me through the Bar Association program you mention (fee: $20). I do generally accept payments by check, money order, cash, or Zelle.

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.
