Excellent. This laywer is a Winner.

Amazing work. Had a protective order placed against me and this lawyer went out of his way to gather all the information accordingly and his knowledge was shown in court. He won by the way. He listens and cares about people's rights. He is willing to help even the little guy in this big world. Fantas...tic work. I'll use him over and over! Down to earth and always keeps me updated.

Wish I would have known about Matt at first

Going through a horrible divorce my old attorney just wanted to rack up the bill when I found Matt he informed me of laws, regulations and actions that we could take to get my matter over as quickly as possible and also in my favor. Matt did an excellent job he took over my case about three quarte...rs the way in and has done a marvelous job, he did more for me in less than half the time that my old lawyer did and cost less money to do so. From here on out I will always refer people to Matt Wadsworth

Most Honest Professional

Matt was a attorney that I didn't even end up hiring surprisingly and that I because of his complete honesty with me and guidance on what I should do. I was considering bankruptcy and felt that it was my only option, I had spoken to several different attorneys who were pushy and calling daily to see ...when I would cut them a check, luckily Matt was the last attorney that I had a consultation with. Save the best for last could not have been more true in this case! He spent 30 mins on the phone with me and never once made me feel rushed, stupid for the decisions I had made to get to where I was, or pressured into anything. He gave me the most honest advice possible that no other attorney gave me and because of his advice to wait due to a few circumstances, I now don't even have to file and was able to get myself out of the entire situation! I respect Matt very much and am grateful for his professionalism and honesty, people like this go a far way in their careers!

What I Needed

I was in real trouble. I had an attorney who screwed up my case terribly. Over a year into the case and my attorney didn't do what I needed. I need someone who could fix the damage and give me a strategy about how to proceed. I got a good result and greatly appreciate Matt's approach and bed side ma...nner. Trustworthy and straight forward.

Visitation Enforcement

From the first meeting, Matt was strategically planning options to assist me in my pursuit to enforce birth mother to allow court ordered visitation. He wasn't malicious in his advice, just gave me the pro's and con's of it straight according to the law. Everything he said he would do, was done witho...ut nickle and dimeing. In court, Matt came very organized, focused, and professionally presenting the facts. Matt is very professional and deeply concern in taking care of his client in every aspect and within the legal boundaries of the law. Highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for professional that will produce results

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.
