A true professional

Mr. Metzger represented my client during a very complicated real estate transaction. I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. He communicated regularly and kept us all up to date. He dealt with many complex issues calmly and effectively.

Amazing Results

Matt helped my husband and I through the agony of bankruptcy. It was a difficult decision to make but finally it was out out our hands, due to unrelenting medical expenses and because the largest bank we owed money to refused to settle or negotiate. From the very beginning, our case was complicat...ed. Our finances didn't make sense to the Trustee and there were about 25 objections we had to navigate. Although we were scrupulously honest, it appeared we were hiding something. It was almost certain that if the case were to be approved at all, it would have to be refiled after a period of months. And if we were forced to wait another 6 months it would have been disastrous. Matt was thorough, detailed, doggedly persistent and continued driving the case forward. He put in hours of work and so did we. It was a grueling process. But we all worked together and plowed through it. I didn't clearly understand the process until we were well along and so occasionally I didn't provide critical information, further complicating matters. Matt just kept pushing on and I know he spent many hours on the case. I believe he sometimes went over and above what he had to do. Even though the constant deadlines forced him to be very direct and sometimes extremely frustrated, we always knew that he cared for us and for the outcome. And then a miracle happened. We only went to court once to meet the Trustee and he approved the case after a short waiting period. Everything went through without a hitch, even though it was highly likely it would have been much more difficult or impossible to get through. It is nearly a year and a half later. My husband and I have a clean slate and are rebuilding our financial lives. Sometimes its stressful to live within the plan but we're making it. In about 3.5 years we'll be well on the way toward strong financial stability. We both owe Matt everyething for this new start. We're both educated and competent people -- we could have tried to file on our own to save attorney fees and thank God we didn't. Bankruptcy is a complicated business that requires an experienced, competent attorney. Matt did an awesome job! We HIGHLY recommend his services. Thank you Matt.
