Posted by anonymous | January 17, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Motorcycle Accident

He Got Me a Quick Recovery

I was in a motorcycle accident and had another attorney initially handle my claim for a long time and literally got nowhere. I decided to hire Matt who encouraged me to file a lawsuit although I was hesitant to do so. Matt knew how to handle the insurance company since he used to work with insurance ...carriers. He got me a quick settlement within a couple of months, which is quick if you know how the California legal system is. Matt is an intelligent attorney who knows what he is doing.

High integrity, professional, knowledgeable

Matthew Dickson and I have worked together on several occasions on behalf of my organization. He has worked with us to update our client contract, and he provides our organization with ongoing legal advice when needed. He has proven to be a person of integrity who is prompt when returning phone cal...ls, professional, and knowledgeable. I recommend him, without hesitation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
