From a former minor client's mother

"Words cannot express how grateful I am for what you did for my son. It has been a difficult few years for him and your care and concern for him, not only as a client, but as a person has helped him learn to trust again. It's obvious to me that you do your job with not just great ability, but with great heart."

From a defense attorney

"I have worked with Matt in cases involving significant injuries and death cases with complex liability issues. His ability to accurately assess cases is uncanny. His resolve to stand by his evaluation and take matters to trial is unparalleled."

From a judge's law clerk (now a lawyer) after trial

"Congratulations on your win today, it was very impressive. I learned so much over the past week. I am truly indebted to you. You changed your client's life in a major way."

From a former client

"I would like to extend my appreciation and tell you what a pleasure it has been to have you taking care of such an important matter. Your help and support made it easier to cope with."

From a former client

"Thank you so much for the hard work you all did on my behalf. I appreciate your knowledge and advice. You made an unpleasant experience as easy for me as possible."

From a defense attorney

"What truly impresses me about Matt is that his ethics are beyond reproach. He is well respected by his peers for his personable and professional demeanor no matter how contentious the case may be."

From a defense attorney who opposed Matt at trial

"He is very comfortable in a courtroom setting. He relates well with juries. He is confident, competent and energetic. He is an honest individual, one with integrity. He fights the good fight."

From a defense attorney who opposed Matt at trial

"Matt was a fierce advocate for the plaintiff. On the other hand, he was able to walk that line between being a fierce advocate and being a professional that one could respect. Matt's demeanor in Court was outstanding and presented huge problems for me. His ability to aggressively pursue points but come across as being very low-key forced me to change strategy at points."

From The Law Bulletin Publishing Company

"Matt is a tireless and dedicated attorney who brings passion and good judgment to his work."
