THIS GUY IS AWESOME!

This guy deserves so much more than just 5 stars. I meat Matt through a mutual friend because of a 17 year old bench warrant came calling. I also work in the legal field and it was messing with my job, my daughter was getting married in the same state as this warrant and i couldnt do the 10 days of... jail. This was a Failure to Comply Bench Warrant 10 Days Jail-No Bond for a DWLS 3rd Degree. Needless to say the prosecutor was not making any deals. Matt prepared a Motion and set the hearing. I of course was a nervious wreck. However, the judge found in favor for defense because Matt did his homework. He was respectful, professional and was not afraid to argue the case out against the State. HE'S AWESOME and i cant thank him enough for what he has done for me. The outcome for me was a recalled bench warrant and my 40 hrs of community service reinstated. If you want someone that will fight for you and go the extra mile for you, this guy is it. He definately WONT let you down. THANK YOU AGAIN MATT :) Oh and i forgot to say, my hearing was during his vacation; he came back to town for my hearing then went back out and finished his vacation with his family. I couldnt believe it. I was so thankful to him and his family for that. He has my business and i will refer others to him if im EVER asked. TR

Matt deserves more than 5 stars, he truly does.

I am an 80 year old woman who tripped and fell on some raised concrete in front of the house I'm renting. Injuries included a broken right hand finger. The rental lease I signed has a clause in it that states I am responsible/liable for any damage in and on the property or personal injury. However, M...att took my case and due to his efforts and expertise I was awarded a very fair settlement. Under the circumstances, I believe other attorneys may have declined to accept me as a client. So grateful Matt, Thank You !

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.

"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."
