Satisfied Client

Matt was amazing to work with! My divorce had Child custody issues, it was unnecessary lengthy, my X had major control issues and a blank check book to inflict pain. Matt worked with me all year dealing with false accusations, limited visitation and straight craziness. He had a good sense of whe...n to fight and when not to. Matt was always there for me and collected a lot of facts and listened well. Make no mistake he was able to play hard ball when needed. Example: First hour of mediation went south real bad!! My X’s Team (no joke) made a decision to take everything to trial. Matt was able to communicate with the mediator, have a discussion with her lawyer which then allowed him to speak to my X. He did what no man had ever done, he was able to reason with her. I was also impressed how well regarded he was with the mediator and his negotiating skills. I hired Matt to look after the best interest of my son, allow me to be present and an amazing Dad to him. I can say with an honest heart I am very alright with the outcome, I actually got one more day than I had, along with a parenting plan that limits her involmemt when he’s with me. Finances were very cut and dry, Matt was able to put a fair offer on the table with a ton of negotiating room which they excepted. I truly have no idea how this outcome ended better for me than her.

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.
