you know that you are in good hands with Matt

Matt has assisted me with a pre-nuptial agreement. He has always taken his time to explain, kept true to his word, acted and responded to all matters in a timely manner and was able to translate the legal wording into something everyone can understand. Matt has been a pleasure to work with. A true ge...m in the legal field in this area.

An excellent Attorney!!!

My family acquired some lakefront property and decided to form an Limited Liability Company to manage it as a business within our family. We really had minimal knowledge or experience in this area. We hired Matt to steer us through this process, and found him very helpful. He provided clear e...xplanations of the formation of the LLC, offering us guidance and options along the way to fine tune it to meet our particular situation. He answered our myriad questions in a knowledgeable, skilled fashion, meeting with us both in person and via Zoom and emails as often as we needed. The end result is a functioning LLC that is formulated to meet our family’s needs and specifications as well as fulfill all the the legal requirements of a licensed corporation. This was not an easy process, but his expertise and calm demeanor got us effectively past many difficulties. I would highly recommend Matt Lind for your family’s legal/estate planning needs.

Not a good choice

Matt was referred to us by one of his associates, Richard Tizzano. Matt is not responsive by phone and extremely slow with completing the most basic tasks. He took several months to complete setting up an LLC. He met with the prospective members numerous times answering questions about both the LL...C and the Special Needs Trust from which the assets would come. Subsequently, he took on the case of dissolving the SNT, in which only some of the beneficiaries were involved in the LLC. He never met with both of the co-executors of the SNT, and was conflicted in his actions by favoring the members of the LLC over the other beneficiaries. He never took meeting requests or returned phone calls from the co-executor who was not part of the LLC! It was a definite conflict of interest on his part. He made numerous errors in his calculations and capital gains tax implications. He definitely should not be advertising himself as a Real Estate attorney.

Completely satisfied

I have hired Matt Lind on three separate occasions. First a Prenuptial agreement, a Cease and Desist letter for an unruly Neighbor and lastly a warning letter for an Easement issue. Matt exudes superior intelligence, wittiness and is generally a pleasure to speak with throughout these matters (which... are stressful). For any legal matters that come up in my busy life, I will first inquire if Matt Lind works in that field of law and if not, I would feel comfortable with his recommendation for another attorney. In the ever growing City of Poulsbo, Matt is the best you'll find.

Matt is my Go-To Attorney!!

I have worked with Matt for over 7+ years. He was corporate counsel on a few different companies from my past, and most recently has become the same again after I joined a new organization. Matt has always been fantastic to work with. He is not only knowledgable about subjects I need help with, bu...t he is quick to respond when immediate help is needed. He always has our best interest at heart, and lets us know all options available. I would highly recommend Matt to anybody seeking a well rounded attorney!

Additionally, my wife and I used Matt to complete our own wills. All of our questions were efficiently answered and the experience was a good one.
