Chapter 7 bankruptcy

I hired Matt to do a chaper 7 bankruptcy back in 2015. Matt came to our house, the initial meeting took about an hour, we had all our questions answered - especially good advice on our options for keeping the car or including it. After that meeting Matt did all the work, we didn't have to go to court... or anything. Super easy, and the price was right as well.

Gotta be the worst ever

I wish I never hired him, seemed like either he doesn’t knows what he’s doing or just LAZY or just didn’t care. After the trial which i’ve been found guilty of misdemeanor DV charged I did consulted with a few reputable attorneys and they all surprised that I even get charged in the first place left ...alone being found guilty ( because of all the evidences and the alleged victim recanted the story) and they also told me it is to late to do anything now because the appeal process take too long and for a case like this they might not even consider so just try to forget and move on. It been almost 2 years but I still think about it every day and still couldn’t believe why he’s even took the case and played with someone future like this. I hope nobody have to go through what i’ve been through because of this lawyer.

What the reviewer fails to say is that I did get him acquitted of the felony charge against him and he did better at trial than the best plea offer we received. Any lawyer who told him that the charges should have been dropped has no experience with the Washington County DA's office and recanting DV witnesses. 8 x 10 photos of a woman bleeding and bruised and a frantic 911 phone call from the same woman saying her husband was hitting her is evidence that the DA is not going to ignore.

Good experience considering the circumstance

Matt was awesome to work with. From the first meeting he was professional. It's a bit of a blow to your pride having to file, but he didn't make me feel like a dirt bag. He was reassuring. He kept in touch when I had questions or if he had information for me. He got the paperwork done very quickly.... He prepared me well for the courtroom as that can be uncomfortable as well. All around good experience considering the circumstance. Not to mention a reasonable fee. I would recommend him to friends and family who may need his service.

Don't waste your time

Hired Matthew Mills for a Bankruptcy Chapter 7 in 2014. He left his Bremerton Office and went to a Seattle firm but wasn't informed. I was concerned on 2 specific issues which he wasn't supportive and recommended me to handle it through the agency by myself. He indicated he would follow up but as h...is typical style, has failed to follow up even after several emails and voice messages. I have tried to work with him but feel that I have been left hanging and now am facing a serious financial situation due to his lack of support and legal aid. I would recommend going with another lawyer who will have the time to work with you.

This person states she "Hired Matthew Mills for a Bankruptcy Chapter 7 in 2014" and she received exactly what she hired me for - a Chapter 7 discharge and at a deep discount from my regular rate. I'm sorry I went out of my way to give her free advice on how to handle some of her non-dischargable debt after the discharge, because she apparently took that as an indication that I would work for free for her indefinitely. When I was unable to continue to do so, I received this ridiculous review.

Best legal advice from a trusted source and new found friend and source of wisdom.

Matthew Mills was the best attorney I have been fortunate enough to have met in my lifetime. He made the difference in a situation that I had not thought would ever happen. He was always there to provide advice, legal knowledge of the circumstances, and how to get past them. He was, simply put, the ...best person I could have had handle the delicate situations and explain the legal aspects of the case to myself and my spouse. We both appreciated his skills, knowledge of the paths that would be logical, and his ability to get to the point of the legal matters involved every time it was needed. What a blessing he was to myself and my family. You will not be disappointed in your selection if Matthew Mills is the attorney you choose for your particular case. I am grateful he is the person he is, and that I was fortunate to find him and choose him out of the crowd. Having been in the legal profession working in law offices for many years, and knowing the legal community in Seattle, it was a blessing to have found him. I am sincerely satisfied with all of his legal counsel, and will use him again if I should need those services again in the future. Most sincerely,
