HONEST, reliable, and personable

Qualities Matt possesses are not typically found in other attorneys. Honesty, integrity and a willingness to go above and beyond for his clients are a rarity. All of which are words I think of when I think of Matt Duggan. He was Always very responsive and if he wasn’t available he would have someon...e get back to us right away. He helped us get the maximum for my husband’s car accident. And handled everything so we could continue our lives without the fuss of dealing with the insurance company. Thank you Matt and your team for all your hard work.

Posted by Linda | March 04, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

A dedicated lawyer who provides consistent client support.

My lawyer handled my case in a thorough, professional way. He followed the legal process so that progress was made to completion. His communication was respectful and clear about what was needed. When we met in person he showed patience to explain the legal steps, the financial part, and what I ne...eded to provide. He communicated his availability if I had any questions. Overall, I felt his dedication and competency and trusted he was working to achieve the best results for me.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked opposing cases with Matt for 25 years when he was a prosecuting attorney. He is an exceptional trial lawyer and a worthy adversary. Any personal injury client would be well served to have Matt Duggan in their corner. His vast jury trial experience, gained in the criminal arena, immeasurably enhances his ability to evaluate, negotiate and litigate personal injury cases. Many lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom - Matt has spent the last 25 years litigating cases in front of judges and juries in the courtroom. He is exceptionally well qualified and I would not hesitate to hire him to represent me on a personal injury matter."
