I focus on working with professional clients, including dental and medical professionals, as well as business owners and entrepreneurs. My practice offers a series of services tailored to the needs of these clients with an emphasis on business formation, asset protection, contracts drafting, and negotiating buy-sell agreements. Additionally, my estate-planning expertise is designed to help clients achieve their personal goals while minimizing the tax consequences and other issues associated with the implementation of their estate plans. I provide assistance with drafting and executing estate-planning documents, addressing specific legal and non-legal personal estate-related concerns. In sum, I offer comprehensive guidance that covers more than just drafting and implementing client documents. Each client relationship requires a unique solution and I believe that customized business and estate plans geared towards these specific solutions are important. However, these documents are more than just a list of wishes. As such, I consider myself to be more than just a legal guide in this process and I pride myself on taking premium care of my clients’ needs.

Finally, a good attorney!
Matt Odgers handled my Child Support issue like a champ. Over the years I've had several attorneys help me to no avail. Matt was referred to me, but I didn't think he would get the best results I could ask for. He was on it. Not only did he do it expediently, he saved me several thousands of dollars. Thank you, Odgers Law Firm. You are the best.

Perfect partner for my Start-up business
Matt was instrumental in helping me navigate through a difficult partnership buyout last year. He was knowledgeable, courteous and super easy to work with. Matt listened to all my concerns and offered tremendous advice while drafting a bullet proof new Operating Agreement. As an entrepreneur, I feel like I could not have found a better attorney to have in my corner. I look forward to working with him for years to come. Highly recommend!

5-Star Rating for Matthew Odgers, Esq. -- highly recommended this attorney for family, probate, will and estate related issues
I worked with Matthew Odgers on some estate settlement issues related to real estate and investments my parents had. He was very knowledgeable, and was able to quickly provide the assistance needed to successfully bring closure to my parents' estate. He was fast and responive, and I felt like his fees were very fair and reasonable. There were no surprises. I plan on using Mr. Odgers to assist with my own will and estate planning needs.

Trust
Matt was very professional and knowledgeable about what was best for us. We have a brand new baby and this one more step to piece of mind.

Integrity Matters!
Matthew Odgers exemplifies integrity. Estate planning is something both powerful and delicate, requiring a balance of directness and grace. Matthew has both of these qualities. He is able to ask the necessary questions, while holding his clients up with dignity and respect. His thoughtfulness, thoroughness and approach are phenomenal. I will be working with Matthew for the foreseeable future and will recommend him to anyone I care about for their estate planning needs.

Thorough Business Law Practice
Matthew has assisted me with the start up of my business. His knowledge and experience made the process extremely smooth and fluent. I was very impressed with how resourceful he was and would highly recommend his expertise to ease any legal issues involved with starting a business.

Personable, Empathetic, Smart and Trustworthy! Without a Doubt, Worth Every Penny!!!
Matt has a wealth of knowledge on Estate Planning for young families. After taking the time to do a very in-depth interview, Matt laid out all of my options and provided informative answers to my questions. He brought up some key issues that I had not even considered that were incredibly in-line with what I wanted for my family. On top of everything else, his prices were very reasonable, and he is incredibly personable. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending him to others.

Great experience, and incredibly knowledgeable
Mr. Odgers is an outstanding attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has a business dispute arise. He was quick to respond when I first contacted him and he was incredibly patient and thorough when answers all of my questions. He ended up coming to a better solution that I ever imagined possible, as well as salvaged the relationship with the business I was in dispute with. It really was a pleasure working with Mr. Odgers and If I ever find myself in need of a great lawyer again he will be my go-to guy.

I wouldn't use
I hired Matthew Odgers to review a contract for a 6 figure deal, he was extremely difficult to get a hold of. I was constantly told by his secretary that he was busy & would call me back. Horrible service, I personally would never use again & regret ever using this firm.
