Matt Hafen has done considerable legal work for our Foremaster Family over the past three or four years. We have found Matt to be a very capable attorney who is both thorough and responsive in his work. He is by nature a considerate person who listens well and patiently replies to one's concerns. During our interactions, we were given every opportunity to provide input and were more than satisfied with the end product. If you are looking for a cocky attorney who will try to dominate the conversation, then Matt is not for you. However, if you want a dignified, well-reasoned attorney who will provide quality work, he will very much fit your need.

Matt did an estate planning review for our family and we were impressed with his knowledge of estate and tax law. We now have an up to date current family trust and my wife and I are more confident in transferring our assets to our family.
