Fearless Advocate for Consumers

Matt knows how to take on the Mammoth credit bureaus, credit card companies and debt collectors. He consistently has fought for and won just results for many, many consumers who were mistreated by these companies. Highly recommended!

Knowing that technology is critical

I really have to say that he is very technical for an attorney and exceptional in using technology to advance his practice for his clients and employees. In all the years working with attorneys, he is by far the most tech-savvy attorney I have seen. He clearly understands that technology has many... added benefits. Kudos Matt!!!

GRIT AND ETHICS--A PERFECT COMBINATION!!!

Matt and his firm did a fantastic job for me cleaning up a really bad identity theft and going after the credit bureaus for misreporting. They were tireless and thorough wouldn't stop until we won against the credit bureaus who had been reporting misinformation for years. They are the best!

Psychotherapist

Mr. Erausquin was successful in litigating my case! He was professional, kind & diligent in pursuing an outcome not just for me but also created a class action suit which we won as well. During one of the most painful & embarrassing times of my life, Mr. Erausquin comforted me & helped me process the... way I had been manipulated by an outside party. I am blessed by his commitment to helping me & solve my legal problems!
