Matt helped me out with some social security questions I had and I couldn't be happier with how insightful he was. He was also very personable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a consultation.

Matt did a wonderful job handling my claim. He was very thorough and conscientious during the entire process. When the settlement was held up for no apparent reason, he wrote letters and got results. Thank you, Matt!

I was involved in an auto accident that was not my fault, but we both had the same insurance carrier. I hired Atty. Lager because I was worried that the insurance company would not be fair. To make matters worse, the other driver, an elderly gentlemen, later on passed away of natural causes. Atty. Lager stayed on top of everything, regularly updated me, and ended up getting me a settlement for more than I expected. I was completely satisfied with his representation, I would hire him again, and I have already recommended him to others.

We were involved in a head on auto collision 1,000 miles from home. The driver of the other vehicle was @ fault & their insurance company was very supportive initially, but offered a low ball sum of money to settle/clear their liability. Attorney Lager represented our best interests while dealing with the insurance company's unreasonable claims adjuster & his approach to settle our claim. At all times Attorney Lager kept us well informed & rendered solid legal advice/guidance. Eventually, Attorney Lager was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement amount which we were very satisfied with. Bottom line, we were blessed to have Attorney Lager representing our best interests. We would highly recommend Matt Lager as the Attorney of first choice!

Feel appreciative of Attorney's Lager's careful application and representation of my case. He showed understanding of the various issues surrounding our claim, and I valued the communication and steps taken in a timely manner to present my medical situation to the Office of Disability.

Matt was such a help and was so professional in helping me out. He took everything out of my hands and constantly kept me updated in the status of my situation. I had a very positive and successful experience with Matt and I would absolutely recommend Matt to friends and family.
