Great and trustworthy service!

Matthew has been instrumental in helping me form a business partnership and assisting with issues surrounding my commercial property. He displays great care in his work, is friendly, timely, and proactive. I would highly recommend his services.

Hardworking and best prepared attorney I have ever encountered!

Mr. Stein is by far the best prepared lawyer. I decided to have him represent me because he is very approachable and listened to all my concerns. He was the first attorney I have ever had to work with. I interviewed several other attorneys and they just were not as compassionate to my situation. Mat...thew provided excellent service and knowledge to my legal needs. Treating me with the utmost respect and sincerity from the moment we first met. He handled my case expeditiously and remained in close contact by phone and email as needed. No detail was overlooked. He was very persistent in making sure everything was right. He took the time to understand my personality and always spoke to me in a manner that I could easily understand and helped me to appreciate the decisions that were being made. The outcome of my case was way better than anticipated. It was truly a pleasure to work with Mr. Stein and to have him on my side. When, or if, I need legal advice in the future, Mr. Stein will be the first person I call!

Felt very comfortable

Matthew really helped me out when I wasn't sure what all my options were. He handled everything really efficiently and with a lot of professionalism. He made sure to communicate everything clearly so I never felt confused. Once my case began, he was very good about keeping me apprised of all the deta...ils and checked with me several times to make sure he was doing what I had requested. Matthew would suggest things to help me make decisions and all his advice was on point. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

  • 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.
