The best attorney hands down

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal representation provided by Matt throughout our incredibly stressful ordeal. He attentively listened to our story, showing empathy and making me feel heard when I felt others ignored my concerns. What truly sets Matt apart is his stel...lar character and genuine compassion. Beyond knowing his stuff navigating the complicated legal system, he goes beyond to help others and is a cool human being. He made us feel supported throughout the years long case, explained processes that were foreign, and had clear communication. Most importantly, he demonstrated an adamant belief in my son's path to recovery. Could not recommend a better personal injury attorney!

Great Attorney

If you want a really good Attorney, hire Matt. You can trust him to work hard, be there for you and explain in ways you can understand. He's a genuine nice guy, he will work his hardest for you. He's very pleasant to work with and is quick to answer any questions. When you've had an accidents and nee...d to hire an attorney, you often just take a chance you hired the right Attorney, well I did hire the right Attorney, I couldn't have been happier it was Matt.

Battle success!

Hi everyone!, my name is Jerry Graham and this is my story. From the moment that I had my consultation with Mr. Van Gieson, my 'not at fault accident' nightmare, became more of a team situation. Mr. Van Gieson made me feel comfortable about my injury and medical bills and I felt confident that I had ...someone in my corner, supporting me in my battle to recover from my injury and loss of income. The process of physical rehabilitation took just under a year, But!, afterwards the settlement took less than three months! I was well compensated for my injuries, And loss of work. What I found to be most important, is that throughout this ordeal, Mr. Van Gieson was there for me like a friend! Communication is important when your facing calamity in your life, and Mr. Van Gieson was 'steady as she goes' when I needed it most. It can be a real battle to get what you are legally entitled to receive! Choose MVG law and put a winner in your corner!

Highly recommend

Matthew has been working on my car accident case that happened in 2017. I have been extremely satisfied with his work that I chose him to work on my second car accident case that just happened in 2018. He makes me feel at ease from when the whole thing starts, I never feel overwhelmed with any part... of it. Matthew is incredibly professional and attentive, always willing and able to answer any of my questions and nicest thing is he is very personable.

Matt is "The Real Deal"

My journey with Matt started over a year ago when I was rear-ended at a stop light and received a whiplash. I was able to receive the treatment that I needed to get better thanks to Matt! He was always professional, courteous and empathetic. He responded to all my inquires in a timely fashion and ...when it came to time to settle with the insurance company he made sure that I understood the process. I never felt left in the dark or confused about anything thanks to Matt! He is a real pro and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a great injury attorney...my settlement was fair and my medical bills will be paid. Matt has been such a blessing he helped me heal and get back on my feet! Thank you soooo much Matt and God Bless what you do it is so important helping people you are the real deal :-)
