True Professional
Matt is a true professional at what he does. He knows the law extremely well and is structured and decisive in his approach. He provided excellent guidance through our difficult time. I felt he really cared about my business and me on a personal level.

Amazing
Mr. Johnson helped me to save my business from a very difficult economy. He was able to "clean up" what others had started, and able to turn my case around. He was more than fair in his billing practices and I would highly recommend him.
