Excellent Attorney
Matt did an excellent job on my case. He got me a fair settlement and did a good job of working with me to prepare my case. I feel that Whitener Law Firm does and excellent job of representing clients and getting the job done. I recommend Whitener Law Firm and Matt O'Neill if you are injured in a car accident.

Best Attorney in NM
Matt advised and represented me in a dog case. He was professional and very efficient. He helped get the results I was expecting. Without a thought I would use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone.

Client
The team of Attorney Matt O'Niell an his assistant Aracelli Pozas was perfect. He was thorough with my case even though I was slow to begin the legal process. His assistant was great at explaining details for me and gathering info that made my settlement significantly more than I expected. Matt's knowlege of the law was very very reassuring all throughout the process.

Great Attorney
I was involved in a serious car crash where a lady in a pickup truck ran a stop sign and smashed into my car. I had never been in a car crash and Matt helped me every step of the way. He was always answered my questions and made sure I got a fair settlement. I recommend Matt as a personal injury attorney for anyone.

Good Attorney
I needed Matt’s legal help two times for different car accident cases. In both cases he showed himself to be highly qualified, efficient and caring. He went beyond the parameters of his job and helped me with other areas of my case. I really don’t know what I would have done without his help. I received answers to my questions quickly and honestly. I trusted him to do his job and he did a good job in representing me and getting me a fair settlement. If you want an attorney who will help you and tell you the truth about your case, you should hire this attorney.
