A Great Attorney

Matt has represented my organization on two occassions. He handled both matters efficiently, kept me well informed and involved throughout the process each time, and achieved results that we were extremely happy with. I would recommend him without heistation.

Superb client service, and deep expertise

Matt's deep and nuanced knowledge of real estate law is extremely impressive. Just as importantly, his diligence in researching legal precedents proved invaluable to the successful resolution of my case. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt as an expert attorney focused on providing outstanding client ser...vice.

Exceptional value with great results

Matt evaluates every case to determine the potential upside and downside to counsel his clients on making the best fiduciary decision. His integrity is unmatched and he is able to create dialogue with opposing counsel or defencants/plaintiffs to create a forum where reasonableness prevails. His work ...product is delivered on time, is well drafted, strong and concise. He is a good advocate to have on your team.

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.
