He took on our case right after the accident & did everything possible to help us. He has always been kind & considerate, & very helpful with any problems that occurred. He is a top notch attorney & I would recommend him to anyone! We will never be able to thank him for everything he did for us.

had an outstanding experience with the assistance of Matthew Altamura & Shannon Altamura. They are compassionate, knowledgeable and handle everyone with the utmost ease and professionalism. They were incredible with representing me during an extremely stressful time in my life. They are patient, detail oriented, and not afraid to go up against large corporations and insurance companies. When your family has just gone through something traumatic and you meet with two extremely confident people that are willing to fight for you, it puts your mind at ease. If you are looking for legal advice, I would look definitely go with Matthew Altamura or Shannon Altamura. They are a highly intelligent and make a tremendous team.

This is the attorney who ducks into a dilapidated phone booth when nobody is looking and jumps out a full-fledged Superhero with chest out, chin up, hands on hips, and red cape flowing in the breeze. Mr Altamura took my case after 2 other attorneys had failed me. Since I was part way through my divorce process, (the female side), he gave me an excellent price. Two other attorneys in his office were out on maternity leave at the time and he was completely overloaded but took on my case because "that's what makes him that guy." (-Live Free or Die Hard). After my sister convinced me that my soon-to-be-ex was poisoning me, Matt Altamura didn't laugh at me or judge me; he merely explained the statistics to me and gave me the best advice for my mental state at the time. Part 2- I end up in the crazy house because I thought I was being poisoned and Randolph County Sheriff locks you up for that. Matt returned my calls to the nut house with patience and respect. Part 3- I meet some seemingly great guy who is at the funny farm also. He had pretended that he had attempted the self demise sin which later I learned wasn't true as he was a pathological liar addicted to Rx drugs. Again our Superhero with a capital S, did not judge me or roll his eyes- he only looked up at the ceiling and then again, gave me sound advice and actually seemed to sense this guy was just wrong. Part Last- My husband becoming jealous of the crazy house guy, turned over a new leaf and we reconciled our divorce and remain happily married to this day. Again, without any back pedaling, Matt shifted gear and knew exactly how to work with the other attorney to write up the reconciliation document. In conclusion, Matt's office was always respectful and prompt. Matt always returned my calls the same day. Although extremely busy, ALWAYS spent enough time with me to make sure I was at ease and my questions were answered. Matt also has a unique talent of knowing the correct amount of humor to use at the right time to lessen your stress. Proficient in many areas of the law, a mathematician and fellow philosopher, this attorney is highly intelligent, humorous, and great with people, an extremely rare find in one man. Along with that, his excellent office staff makes them the Cream of the Crop and the Cat's Meow. And I only had to edit his secretary's work one time, which was rare in and of itself. You will be proud of yourself for hiring this man, just ask him politely not to swear, if you can't handle it. He is above all a real gentleman. I took him through the circus, carnival, hospital, jungle, desert et al and he just calmly and professionally guided me faithfully. If you want a loyal attorney, he is your man.

I hired Matt Altamura to represent me in a divorce hearing. Through the very long and protracted legal battle with opposing counsel, not only have they been quick to respond to all of my questions, they have provided extremely practical legal advice and were fantastic in the courtroom. Extremely professional, courteous and they did an amazing job to keep me cam during a very stressful process. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Matthew Altamura was my lawyer for a car accident case where the other person was completely at fault. I was very impressed how he explained the whole process to me and it was clear that he was going to do whatever he could to make this situation right. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his job. I would not hesitate to recommend him & his law firm to anyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Matthew!

I was more than satisfied with the service and professionalism I received with everyone at the law firm. They kept me informed every step of the way, which meant there were no surprises. I had an issue with traffic court and they put my mind at ease and resolved my case extremely fast. I would most definitely recommend this law firm to anyone.

Matt Altamura represented me in my separation with an equitable distribution. He was very knowledgeable about the issues I was dealing with, as well as sensitive to the heartache I felt at having to endure all I was facing. Communication was never an issue. He and his staff kept me very well informed. When all was said and done, my settlement was more than I had originally requested.

My son and I needed help when the contract we had with someone didn't work. The person we had the contract with didn't go by the contract and we had to retrieve our property back. With the help of Mr. Altamura, we were able to get our property back. Mr. Altamura and his staff were very helpful and returned all phone calls in a timely manner. He answered all our questions and kept us informed as to the status of our case. We were very pleased with his services and the out come of our case.

Mr Altamura is smart, aggressive and an extremely talented attorney. He understands sophisticated financial matters, which makes him a formidable opponent, and yet has excellent relationships in the bar, making it possible for him to negotiate even in difficult cases. He has the ability to put clients at ease, even in the stress-filled environment of divorce. I have referred many of my friends and clients to him for years, and will continue to do so.
