MATT IS A SCAMMER

if i could give zero star's my god i sure would. matt is a complete scam artist. he gives the first impression that hes extremely caring and helpful to his clients until you pay the man. then he runs with your money and forgets to show up to court dates or follow up with your discovery. instead he ac...t's like he owns you now because you paid him a good amount of money, then proceed's to disrespect you or challenge you when you question his excuse's behind not being available as it states in our agreement. this clown had the audacity to block my phone number to where i couldn't reach my own attorney because i told him about how he missed my very first hearing. blocked me, didn't even notify the courthouse that i had requested to terminate his services. instead he had me sit all day at the courthouse with the judge waiting for this man because he wanted to be petty. this dude is a joke and most importantly a scammer. if you're thinking about hiring matt, don't! take it from someone that has did business with this poindexter and has no criminal record. i needed this man to help me with a dui, instead he tried to scam me out of a petty 5k. he will do the same to you if i don't have him reported to state bar first. matt is garbage !!!!

Caring, Experienced, Professional Attorney

I have recently had Mr. Matt Horeczko represent me for a TRO- temporary restraining order requested by my brother’s ex girlfriend. She created a complete lie that I was harassing her after my brother’s passing which was completely untrue. Mr. Horeczko was able to calmly provide support for me to unde...rstand the legal process by explaining all the details of what will transpire and which way to best proceed. Mr. Horeczko represented myself during the hearing proceedings in the most professional manner which brought relief to me and the TRO was not granted or approved by the court. Mr. Horeczko is a caring yet experienced and professional attorney who proved to be extremely helpful in this matter. I hope I will not face such a difficult challenge again but Mr. Horeczko provided the utmost legal and ethical support. Lori Kosor

Matt Treats You Like Family

Matt has helped me with various things over the years. He helped win a settlement case when I got jumped at a party when I was 20 years old. He stayed on the case for years and pushed for it to get resolved and we received a very nice settlement. He has also helped with other miscellaneous things ove...r the last 13 years of my life. He is incredibly smart and passionate about what he does. He doesn't rest and treats you like you are his own family. I feel very lucky to have had Matt and his team by my side for the last 13 years and know I can call on him at any time for help or advice.

Beyond my expectations!!!!!!

I have worked with others attorneys in the past but, my experience with Matthew went beyond my expectations. I meet with him at his office and we went through all the documents and he asked me two question “why did you come to me” “ what do you want out of this.” My response was simple. I wanted some... one who was going to work hard, fight, keep communication with me if I called with questions I wanted to speak to him not anyone else and most importantly honesty. I didn’t want empty unrealistic promises. I got every thing I wanted. Every thing I mentioned he delivered and the outcome was what I wanted. He kicked ass in court. He is worth every penny you won’t be disappointed.!!!
