"I endorse this lawyer. Matt excels in representing medical malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death victims and their families. He is a compassionate lawyer who can also grasp difficult legal and technical subject matter. He is 100% honest with his clients and everyone he deals with. I've seen him in a high stakes jury trial and he was at home in the courtroom, and got a great outcome for his client on top of it all. A++ lawyer and great guy overall!!"

Personal injury lawyer | Jan 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Hale is one of the smartest, most creative attorneys I have encountered in my 30 years of practice. At a time when he was new to car accident cases he introduced me to an approach to handling underinsured motorist cases that I had never considered, despite over 20 years in the field. Mr. Hale is also trustworthy, compassionate and responsible."

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.
