Outstanding! So Thankful!
My experience with Matthew was outstanding from the start. Matthew is incredibly knowledgeable, he knows what he's doing! Initially I was very nervous and frantic about the financial crisis I was facing. I hired Matthew and started to feel a bit of peace right away. Matthew walked me through exac...

Appreciated Matthew Anderson's service and expertise!
I want to thank you Matthew Anderson for all his help with my bankruptcy case. It was a time in my life when I was very emotionally and financially distressed. But after having Matt represent us on our case, I felt at ease. Filing bankruptcy can be very stressful but Matt made is so easy and strai...

Second Review, Saint Matthew
Normally I wouldn't write two reviews but Matt's earned this. He stopped the auction of my home mid-2015 and got me approved for a 3-month trial modification that I completed in December. It's March now, so I should've already sent Matt a bottle of scotch as a final thank you and be a few paymen...

Foreclosure Expert With Excellent Client Service
Matt knows what he's doing. Period. I spent years trying to navigate through the foreclosure process on my own without success, so just before the auction date, I hired him to fix the mess I was in. Within days, I was back on track to keep my home. I'd assumed hiring a lawyer would cost me an ar...

Exceptional Lawyer!
Oh! Be a boon this lawyer of worthy note, for he will heave the gorge on the livings of thine enemies. Yet I clepe and clepe and he answers not. But dram doth I wot, he denies me only to saveth expense! F'r superfluous art mine calls except to halcyon me as a sedative to hear his voice!
"As a former suite mate of Matt's, I can attest to his staying late at the office to work on his clients' matters. He is intelligent, and patient, and really just a great guy. I endorse this lawyer."
"Matt is an advocate for his client and a professional colleague toward his opposing counsel. We recently worked together on a case and were able to resolve a conflict with minimal client's time or money and successfully completed the case with both sides achieving their goal. I would be pleased to work with Matt again in the future."
"I endorse Matthew as a colleague and fellow lawyer. Matthew is a true professional advocating for his clients."
"I would highly recommend Mr. Anderson to any perspective client considering bankruptcy. He is highly skilled in his field of law and well respected by other attorneys in the community. He has high moral character and relates well to his clients. He is an excellent choice in counsel."
"Matt is an extremely skilled and capable attorney, but more than that, he is genuine, attentive, warm, and possesses the highest moral character--in short, exactly the sort of person I would want to represent me."
"I had Matthew as opposing counsel. He is thoughtful, attentive and a pleasure to work with. I endorse this lawyer."
"I went to law school with Matt and always knew him to be very bright and thoughtful in his approach. I recently had the opportunity to consult with him on an issue that came up in one of my cases outside of my practice area. Matt proved to be extremely knowlegable and helpful. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Anderson is an outstanding advocate for his bankruptcy clients. He is able to acheive astounding results through negotiation with creditors and the trustee. His knowledge and experience are considerbly above his peers of the same bar exam year. I look forward to working with Mr. Anderson for years to come."
