Bourhis Law Group #1

I wholeheartedly recommend Bourhis Law Group and Matthew Bourhis for anyone seeking outstanding legal representation. From the very beginning, Matthew displayed professionalism and expertise that exceeded my expectations. His communication was consistently clear and thorough, ensuring I was informed ...and confident throughout the entire process. Matthew's demeanor truly stood out to me. He is positive, friendly, confident, and driven—qualities that made an otherwise daunting situation much easier to navigate. Anytime I felt uncertain or had concerns, Matthew addressed them with a calm and reassuring presence, providing the clarity and peace of mind I needed. What I admire most about Matthew is his unwavering dedication to helping the "little guy" and those who are less fortunate. His humanity shone through in every interaction. While his legal knowledge and skill are exceptional, it was his genuine compassion and commitment to making a difference that left the greatest impression on me. Matthew’s ability to combine expertise with empathy is truly rare. He kept me well-informed at every step, clearly outlining what to expect and demonstrating a deep understanding of his field. His dedication to his clients is evident in everything he does. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also deeply compassionate and driven by a sense of justice, Matthew Bourhis and Bourhis Law Group are the clear choice. My experience was remarkable, and I am deeply grateful for Matthew’s support and humanity.

Highly recommended - excellent disability advice

Working with Bourhis Law Group on my disability case was a great experience. The situation was challenging for me to handle, but the team provided clear insights and was consistently responsive. More importantly, I’ve noticed that complex legal cases don’t usually lead to straightforward outcomes. Of...ten, there are uncertainties, and Matthew and his team were incredibly patient in explaining the pros and cons at each step, helping me weigh the risks and benefits at critical decision points. I highly recommend Bourhis Law Group.

Legal Ninja

Matthew was on it from the get go! He helped me understand my case quickly and had he offered direct and candid conversations with me, as to what the realities of what litigation could look like. I found this to be important, because other lawyers I spoke with offered soft, ambiguous predictions for ...the future. Matt kept me educated along the way regularly and was able to simplify the process at all times. Ultimately he delivered the exact results that he had predicted on day one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Exceptional Disability Insurance Lawyer

Highly specialized law firm that represents doctors, surgeons, dentists and other professionals to help them receive disability insurance benefits. If you need legal assistance for a long-term disability insurance claim, I strongly recommend Bourhis Law Group.

Highly recommend!

I came to Bourhis Law Group after jumping through endless hoops with my long-term disability insurance company and getting nowhere. Matt and Ritsa made me feel heard, important, and respected every step of the way. We settled with the insurance company after they couldn't wiggle out of their obliga...tions when faced with attorneys who really know the law. Ann-Marie was also kind and patient at every turn, I never felt like I was interrupting or annoying when asking for something to be explained, again. If you want to be represented by an attorney who cares and knows the law, you need Bourhis Law Group on your side.
