Highly recommend Matthew D. Roy for legal counsel

He came highly recommended and did not disappoint regarding a family law case, involving a former partner, whom I had a restraining order against. Mr. Roy was very helpful and diligent in assisting to help resolve the money owed to me and without further involvement of the courts. I am forever gratef...ul for his patience and expertise and resolution on my behalf.

Detailed and Responsive

Matthew Roy handled a Chapter 7 case for me and helped me navigate through the process to a successful conclusion. I have used attorneys in the past for various types of litigation and Matt returns phone calls and plans the most effective strategy. He helped me and gave me great advice along the wa...y.

Justice Was Served!

After suffering through a domestic violence case I was accused of by an ex girlfriend. I was fortunately able to get my case dismissed due to false accusations. My ex girlfriend continued to pursue a restraining order against me that I strongly did not agree with shortly after. I contacted attorney R...oy and he was able to represent me right away. He was able to quickly meet with me to gather all the evidence and information he needed and in no time in court fighting aggressively for me. He fought the case like his life depended on it and his experience was able to reveal the lies and made up stories that my ex girlfriend made up about me. In the end, JUSTICE WAS SERVED and I was very happy with the outcome!!!

Simply the Best!

I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided to me by the Roy Offices Law Firm. During the legal proceedings, Mr. Roy listened and absorbed details of my case and my opinion and then made convincing recommendations and decisions. In court, Mr. Roy was a tremendous help... for me while addressing the intricacies of my case which resulted in expeditious and consensual resolution. Matthew Roy is one of the shining examples of professional, caring and knowledgeable attorneys. He listened, advocated and kept me informed throughout the proceedings of my case. I am very pleased with the quality, responsiveness and extensive legal expertise of Matthew Roy Matthew never treated me simply as a client. He treated me like a human being who was going through a hard time. He is genuinely concerned about his clients. On a personal note, I really enjoyed working with Matthew I could not be more satisfied. The Law Office of Matthew Roy was impressive and excellent! Great Results! Thank you, Diane Lally

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.
