Knowledgeable, Responsive, and Client-Focused Attorney

I recently worked with Matthew as the listing agent representing a mutual client navigating the complex foreclosure and sale process. Throughout this challenging transaction, Matthew demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication to his client's welfare. Despite unforeseen delays caused by... lengthy lender negotiations, he remained consistently responsive to all parties involved. His positive attitude and solution-oriented approach helped keep the transaction moving forward when obstacles arose. Matthew's expertise in real estate law proved invaluable. His clear communication and strategic guidance provided much-needed reassurance during a stressful time for our client. As a real estate professional, I appreciate working with attorneys who understand both the legal complexities and the human element of these transactions. Matthew excels at both. His combination of legal knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine care for his clients makes him an outstanding advocate. I will not hesitate to recommend Matthew to any of my future clients facing foreclosure or requiring consultation with an experienced real estate attorney. He is a trusted resource I'm confident will serve them well.

Best in the business

I first hired Mathew Anderson 10 years ago. At that time he was able to help me fight a large mortgage company who had denied my loan modification and I was in jeopardy of losing my home. He successfully won a new modification, which included better terms of interest-rate. . Unfortunately I had ...to re-hire Mathew to help save my home again after my husband passed away two years ago. Matthew once again successfully negotiated a new modification agreement with better terms interest-rate and saved my home from foreclosure. I would highly recommend Mathew to anyone seeking a professional and competent attorney. On a side note, he’s nice, and I consider him a friend I can count on. Sincerely, Melody Edgington

An attorney that helps

Thankfully I was able to find Matthew Anderson. I found him as a last ditch effort on line to help me when I was about to lose my home. I had worked with my lender and HUD companies for about 2 years with stress and no success. Matthew discussed with me about filing a chapter 13 in order to save my... home. I hired him and immediately felt an immense relief as he worked out a repayment plan that was manageable for me and kept me in my home. Matthew is knowledgeable and has multiple resources at his disposal. I thank Matthew for working diligently on my case and would highly recommend him. Matthew is an attorney that is here to help.

Tirelessly

I hired Mr. Anderson and he fought tirelessly mitigating and litigating for my NEW loan modification. Do yourself a favor and hire Matthew as your legal advocate and counsel. Foreclosure is a battle home owners will not win on their own, not to mention the toll of frustration and stress on you and yo...ur family. Even when it "appears" the mortgage company is working with you, there will be last minute negotiations that you will NOT see coming with no idea how to effectively deal with them to finalize your modification. Matthew is an incredible legal advocate, knowledgeable in his field, and knows how to close the deal with your best interests as his priority!!! Get Matthew working for you! He is by far your best shot at owning the title to YOUR home!!! I am living proof.

Great Job!!

Courteous, polite and knowledgeable are but a few of the words to describe Mr. Anderson. Matthew has been a great help to me when I needed legal assistance in the past few years. He is hardworking and punctual and kept me informed with the evolution of events during each step of the way. Thank you... Matthew. Good luck friend.
