After almost all the labor attorneys I contacted telling me there is limited hope to get a better severance package, I was very lucky to find Mr. Mcbride. He has an acumen instinct and point out the negotiation strategy with my previous employer during our initial consultation. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in labor law and provided me very detailed information throughout the whole process. He also made sure I was comfortable and informed the entire time. Mr. Mcbride recommended meditation before resorting to litigation and the company agreed on all of our proposed change on my severance statement. I highly recommend Mr. Mcbride to anyone looking for a professional help on getting things resolved with their employer.

Matt represented me vs my former employer who had an over broad, over reaching, non compete agreements with me. Matt did an excellent job reviewing the case and discovering a myriad of information that supported my case. In the end, we settled and avoided further litigation. I would highly recommend Matt for any similar situations. He is prompt, thorough and responsive.

My case involved a former employer that had their own interpretation of a written and signed employment agreement. Matt was a complete professional throughout especially while navigating the nonsensical legal fabrications of the defense. Matt handled both the legal arguments/process and me very well. This situation was unfamiliar to me and could have been much more stressful if my attorney didn't have the legal skills or didn't take the time to understand me. I am grateful for his ability to put the situation in the proper perspective to keep me calm. Through to the end, Matt stayed on a professional and ethical path (unlike the defense) and achieved a positive and appropriate outcome.

During a recent series of events related to a termination of employment, I contracted with Mr. McBride for legal assistance. He carefully reviewed my circumstances then made recommendations on how to proceed. We were successful with the negotiations of the termination agreement. His letter and subsequent contacts with my previous employer left me with no doubt that I was very well represented. As a follow-up to this termination, there was separate dispute with my previous employer arising from a payment related to a retirement plan. This is also an area where Mr. McBride's expertise in dealing with employment problems really came through. He handled negotiations resulting in an agreeable settlement between my previous employer and myself. Throughout all aspects of the legal process, Mr. McBride proved to be a caring, interested lawyer who I felt gave me his complete attention and understanding during a difficult time for me. I highly recommend him!

Matthew is a very good attorney.He has proven to me that justice is not always blind.He is a very hard working and ethical man.Matthew takes pride in want he does.He's a peoples attorney.He was the perfect choice for my situation.He took on my case when other attorneys did not return any of my calls. I am so thankful to have had this man represent me.I was a victim of a very unusual and terrible accident .This matter took over eight years to resolve.Not one time did Matthew indicate he wanted to give up.The wheels of justice was slow..But we won thanks to his excellent skills.

Matt McBride was the perfect attorney in my situation as I was targeted by a previous employer in non-compete lawsuit. Matt asked for the complete details on my end and then explained to me from day one that he would get this settled justly. Matt constantly called or emailed me to keep me informed and shared all the details so I never felt blind-sided or out of the loop. The case was settled to my satisfaction and my business is flourishing thanks to Matt McBride. I highly recommend this attorney.

I had 2 judgements against an individual, was in the last period of renewal when the bank started foreclosure on the individual's property. Since I had the judgments, I was named as a defendent with only a couple weeks to respond and since the lender was out of state, was in the federal courts not local. I contacted a few attorneys who practiced in federal courts and most wouldn't even return phone calls. On the last days, I heard of Matt from another attorney and called him. We discussed the situtation at length and Matt agreed to take the case on contingency with me paying costs. He did extensive research for me keeping me abreast of everything on all that he discovered. He worked to keep my costs EXTREMELY reasonable, was realistic on the possible outcome, and never let me down. He was very professional, very courteous, explained everything so I fully understood, and handled this case in a manner that I can say he was 100% trustworthy and was truely working on the case for my benefit! From start to finish, he had my money in about 6 months when I hadn't been able to collect a dime since April of 1998! I never had to take off work to meet with him or go to court - I actually have never met him in person! Everything was handled thru phone calls, e-mails and the postal service. This may not work in every case but sure worked for me. I would NEVER HESITATE to hire him again if the need ever arises. I had a lawyer in the past who I would give an EXTREMELY negative review of but for Matt, it is all POSITIVE. Job well done Matt!

Matt McBride handled an employment contract dispute for me. He did an excellent job. I was working for a group of three companies and had a three year contract. After 6 months of employment the companies started harrassing me. I stayed for a year but could not take the harrassment any longer. This contract also contained a non-compete. Mr. McBride was able to release me from the non-compete as well as settle in my favor which I had told him I preferred to do to avoid court. Mr. McBride did an excellent job for me and I highly recommend him. He is currently handling another contract issue for me.C

I had hired Matt McBride after losing my job due to a former employer’s threat of enforcing a non-compete contract against my new employer. He was diligent in convincing the judge that this agreement was overbroad despite the employer’s claim to the contrary. His drive and commitment to my case produced a favorable settlement over several months rather than several years, standing up to one of the largest law firms in the country. Matt was also compassionate regarding my jobless situation and worked with me on attorney’s fees to ensure we could bring the case to resolution. I would recommend talking to Matt concerning any legal matter.
