He Steals!

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.

Matt is the best

Matthew is a double threat. He is extremely creative with his deal making skills. He helped my startup survive and when i needed him for another case that was in court, he was extremely savvy. I would give him 10 stars, if possible. Matt communicates extremely well (sometimes even on the weekends and... late nights) and always made sure to go the extra mile in protecting my interests. Matt is just amazing. I wish more lawyers could be as good as Matt. He was more than a lawyer. Matt was a friend and a coach in my corner.

Extremely Knowledgeable

Matthew was extremely knowledgeable. He helped secure $1.6 million transaction in a gas station flawlessly. He responds to emails and calls well and he is very strategic. When we consulted, he was very clear on his plan of attack. unlike my last lawyer, Matthew makes you his teammate and works with y...ou. Whenever he sent me documents, he would explain them well and when I asked for clarification, he would call me and explain things. Even when I was slow or annoying, he never rushed me. He worked out a deal my previous lawyer could have never worked out! So, so strategic and smart! I trust him with all my assets.
