Matt, and his colleague Angelo, are incredibly knowledgeable professionals capable of tackling a myriad of legal issues with heart and purpose. When pairing their intelligence, tact, and strategic mindset with compassion and empathy, they make for a truly unbeatable team. I trust them wholeheartedly and would recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch representation. Matt understands complex, cross-cultural issues and easily adapts to the legal environment at play. You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I consulted Matthew on the recommendation of a colleague to assist my family during a stressful and challenging personal time in our lives. We saw Matthew in consultation prior to engaging him, at which time he enabled us to simplify our thinking and put our problem in an understandable perspective. He was extremely caring and concerned about helping us with our problem and really listened to our fears by explaining the legal process that was totally foreign to us in a simple way that we could understand. He was most knowledgeable about getting the job done and kept us totally informed along the way. I would recommend him to friends in a similar situation.
