Great service

I’m so thankful with lawyer Matheo for his hard job done on my cases. He help me ten years ago to file a bankruptcy after the bad economy at the time and helped me to start all over again. And now when I sell my house I find that the bank of the second mortgage they never discharged me of the debt, ...and when I call lawyer Matthew he was ready to fight for me again he responded to me quickly and at the end he fixed the issue with the bank and I got my money back. I definitely recommend Lawyer Matthew Anderson. Matthew is the best and friendliest Lawyer I know.

Highly recommend

I am very thankful for Matthew and all the help that he has given both my mother and I. For the last few years her and i have struggled with our foreclosure situation and Matthew has been highly thorough and communicative every step of the way. I don’t know what we would have done without him!

Forclosure/Credit Card Settlement

Matt has helped me on my Foreclosure crusade. It's been many years of stress and uncertainty. Unfortunately, mortgage companies have a different agenda. However, Matt has been very helpful throughout the process. He's been able to educate me and understand my rights. If anyone is in foreclosure... process, it's absolutely imperative to get legal advice and understand you rights(trustee, servicer, foreclosure timelines, etc.). Matt has done this and more. We see the light at the end of the tunnel and I look forward to Matt getting us there. We also have employed Matt to help settle our business debts. He is actively working on settlements with our credit card companies. Again, he knows the process and most importantly can move the needle. We are optimistic that we will be able to get to a resolution soon.

My home was saved from foreclosure

I was referred to Matthew Anderson by another attorney that did not specialize in Foreclosures and / or bankruptcies. The first time we spoke, I was in tears, I felt broken by the system and helpless. Matthew has such positive energy, it is hard not to go away from a phone call or meeting feeling p...ositive too. When the mortgage company will not speak to you, Matthew will take charge and make things happen. Patient and kindness and depth of knowledge is more than evident in Matthew's handling of my loan modification. I highly recommend Matthew Anderson, his hard work and diligence saved my home for me, and nothing can mean more than that when you have lost all hope. Thank you Matthew, I hope that I do not have to use your expertise in the future. :)

Excellent attorney, he saved our house

We were within 90 days of foreclosure when we reached out to Matthew. He demonstrated the utmost confidence, professionalism and expertise in dealing with our lender. Me and my husband and four kids are eternally grateful for him saving our house!
