I highly recommend

I hired Matt Eanet to represent me in a ongoing legal matter. His communication skills and his ability to navigate the law are top notch. His persistence in fighting for his clients result in 100% satisfaction.

Great attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew on two separate occasions. The first time, Matt represented us in an employment related matter. We went back to Matt for representation on a real estate transaction. Matt is great to work with. He is knowledgeable, experienced and was attentive to our needs.... We achieved success in both cases and we wouldn't have been able to without Matt's counsel. We look forward to working with Matt again in the future.

Outstanding Counsel of Character and Selfless Service

Mr. Matthew Leo Eanet represented me in my employment matter for over 6 years. During this period Matt provided stellar representation as my trusted Counsel/Advisor with the utmost character, conviction, and commitment in bringing positive outcome to a challenging, arduous, and unique situation. Ma...tt possesses an extraordinary keen client focus providing unrelenting support to deliver positive outcomes regardless of the complexity of the case with class, sophistication, and confident excellence. Matt is a tenacious civil litigator and hands down expert in all facets of military personnel and administrative law, to include appeals spanning across all levels of federal agencies, as well as Federal and Appellate Court. I am extremely honored, privileged, and proud to have been represented by a professional and person of such outstanding character, integrity, respect, exemplary selflessness, and unrivaled dedication who is committed to always doing what is right and delivering in his client's best interest. It is with great conviction that I kindly offer my highest endorsement and recommendation of Mr. Matthew Eanet, as Matt is best suited to bring your matter to the best resolution.

Effective, Trustworthy, Responsive and Efficient

My relationship with Mr. Eanet began at a difficult time. The operating company he represented was a private investment fund that included 20 equity investors, 10 note holders and a senior secured bank that provided a $4 million LOC. The Fund was the plaintiff in a case involving borrower fraud and h...ad been poorly represented by prior council. Mr Eanet stepped in to continue the Borrower claims as well as fend off claims from the Fund's equity investors. Several other entities were involved which further complicated matters. Mr. Eanet and his firm picked up from where a large and very costly firm left off without missing a beat. Moreover, the legal work they provided was targeted, effective and resulted in favorable resolutions. He has since represented the Fund in ongoing arbitration proceedings with Fund investors. Mr. Eanet continues to represent me and my companies as a general corporate attorney and has become a trusted advisor on all legal matters.
