Develppment and Business General Counsel Guru

Having worked with Matt for a number of years on multiple occasions and through a variety of legal issues I have always found him to be exceptionally competent. His legal acumen spans land use, construction and development issues, business structuring and acquisition, general business counsel and pe...rsonal representation. His demeanor is enthusiastic with an appropriate level of intensity. Beyond his legal expertise Matt has always kept ethics and integrity at the forefront. Always putting his client's interests first, if he does not have the specific knowledge needed he will work to find the appropriate resources for his client. If he believes there may be even a hint of potential conflict of interest of impropriety Matt is always the first to bring the concern to light so it can be resolved. In a nutshell it would be hard to go wrong by retaining Matt on your team of advisors and confidants.

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.
