This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Extremely Knowledgeable Immigration Attorney

Met Matt at a social event when the conversation moved to client immigration issues. These concerns have become more prevalent recently with political and policy changes. I was already personally and professionally involved with a case of a Chinese lady seeking asylum and began discussing details wit...h Matt. After a lengthy conversation I realized how little I knew and how detail oriented Matt was while maintaining the overall focus of gaining legitimacy for our clients. I'll definitely follow up with him for help in my case.

Hired Mathew for 2 separate cases. Was very deli gent with follow up and was very responsive. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hardworking trustworthy lawyer. Which tend to be harder to find these days. 5 stars all the way!!

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Matt was able to obtain post-conviction relief for a mutual client of ours. I think in total he got 5 convictions vacated in all. It is rare to find an attorney that knows both the criminal system as well as immigration and does it well. Matt is a true asset to the legal profession."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Matthew is an aggressive, intelligent, and dedicated advocate. His knowledge and experience with regard to immigration law and its intersection with criminal defense renders him uniquely qualified to effectively represent individuals whose cases involve both areas of law. I do not hesitate to call on Matthew for guidance when one of my criminal defense clients faces collateral immigration consequences. He is an asset to our profession."

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.
