What a relief!

I was in a sticky situation with a former employer. Matthew came recommended through a friend and he returned my call right away when I reached out about a date of privacy and employment matter. Matthew looked at the facts and gave me some really good advice on how to move forward. I’m very grateful ...for the time that he put into the consultation and even following up with me afterwards. I would not hesitate to contact Matthew again!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
