He told me the work he was retained for was not subject to certain stipulations. The petition was denied for the exact stipulations he told me did not apply. He missed a court hearing and only found out about it when I notified him almost a year later. I felt that the petition he was going to be re...tained for was frivolous and either I could do it myself or it didn't have much value and he told me that the petition would hold more value with his name on it. We decided to retain him based on those assurances which in hindsight were grandiose. We feel misled and taken advantage of.

My fiancé's family hired this attorney. This was 5 YEARS AGO! My fiance is still in jail, paid 25K to get NOTHING. He is not responsive, he doesn't provide updates unless you hunt him down. He will NOT fight for you unless he sees value (money) apparently 25K isnt enough. My fiance is still trying to... figure out where he is in his case. He was constantly told this will take time but it's been 5 years & no proper update have been provided recently BUT he will find a way to ask for more money. He will charge you for EVERYTHING. I would not recommend this lawyer. If you aren't a celebrit or paying over 50K he will take your money & prolong his assistance to the point of filing negligence against him. Currently doing so now.

Working with him has been terrible. Before paying him the actual fee he requested after the $5000 case review he returned calls. The moment he received the $25,000, all communication stopped. Matthew was asked if he review the case and previous appeals, he said yeah. After several emails and mess...age telling him to file the case in the 5th district he file the case where he wanted to so that confirmed that he did not properly review the case. A denial was sent on behalf of my case. As I knew it would because of the lack of Matthew’s review and knowledge. An adequate case review would’ve lead to correct filings in the right district. When he finally returned the last call he made after wasting our time. He mentioned that another attorney would be reaching out. We have yet to receive anything from him or the supposed other attorney! Nothing to go off of or reach out to.Now of close to $30,000 with no results. I’m currently looking for an attorney to sue him. I got his personal info.

I recently had the pleasure of being helped by Power Trial Lawyers and Matthew Barhoma, and let me tell you, they're absolutely amazing. The lawyer who took care of my case was like a superhero in a suit. They really cared about my situation and made sure I understood everything that was happening. W...henever I had a question or needed an update, they were right there, ready to help. When it was time to go to court, I was nervous, but the lawyer was like a rockstar up there. He really handled it well and calmed me down. They knew exactly what to say and how to say it, and they got me the best result possible. Plus, they filed excellent paperwork. I've dealt with other lawyers before, but none of them were as organized and on top of things as this firm. And let's not forget about the case manager. I worked with Jenny. She was like the lawyer's sidekick, always there to help out and keep things running smoothly! They were great. I recommend them Long story short, I highly recommend this law firm They're the real deal, and they'll make sure you're taken care of every step of the way. Five stars all the way, thank you !!!
