Working with Matt was stress free. He is articulate, concise, and gets straight to the point. You can tell he doesn't waste time. He asked me great questions to fully understand my objective, and I never felt misunderstood.

My partners and I contacted Matt almost a year ago. He helped us set up our small smart-up's operating agreement. The operating agreement is working beautifully, and we can always count on Matt to answer any questions that come up. He is easy to work with, and he really cares about the success of our company. To anyone looking to start a business, I highly recommend working with Matt.

Matthew gave me great advice and truly cared for my business. He's a great communicator who can simplify complex legal problems. He helped me to quickly set up legal documents for sharing equity with my employees. He works fast, is super responsive, and answers any extra questions in no time. I feel that I found the lawyer that will help me for all my future ventures, and will recommend him to my network of Saas entrepreneurs.

I've instructed Matt on a wide range of legal matters and he's consistently delivered an exceptional service. Matt is from a rare breed of lawyers, one which shows depth of knowledge, attention to detail and a firm yet approachable attitude. Legal advice and representation are often needed when we are at our most vulnerable, I would have no hesitation in recommending Matt to others in their time of need.

Matt has been such a huge help for our company. We were on a tight timeline and had to incorporate within one month in order to receive investor funding for our seed round. I talked to several other lawyers and law firms who quoted us crazy fees ranging from $5,000 - $15,000. Matt came in and was able to walk us through exactly what we needed to do so that it didn't feel overwhelming and made sense. His quote was incredibly reasonable and he was able to explain to us what we could do ourselves and the areas where we should rely on his expertise. In all of my engagements with lawyers, this is the first time I felt that a lawyer really had our best interest at heart and went above and beyond to ensure that we understood what we were doing and what we were paying for. I look forward to continue working with Matt as we build and grow our company and recommend him without hesitation!

Over the last 13+ years as an entrepreneur. I've worked with several lawyers. My very first experience, with my very first startup, I was setup with a couple lawyers a at big name law firm (wish so much I could name them to help you avoid them, but I'm not going there). They gave no real counsel, set me up in a C-corp (which I probably should have been an LLC), filled out some boilerplate corporate docs and charged me $10k. Months later, when I needed questions answered they were no where to be found. The whole experience, made me loathe lawyers and from that point forward I tried to do everything on my own with DIY legal sites. This too proved, in many instances, to cause more harm than good. They're good in theory, but their one size fits all approach often left big holes/legal exposure in my businesses that I then had to hire a real lawyer to fix. Costing me way more in the end than if I would have just hired a lawyer in the beginning. 10 years into being an entrepreneur I finally wised up and caught a break. I found a startup website that highly recommended Matthew Rossetti and I set up a call. I was hesitant at first, I had been through so many many bad experiences in my career with legal in general that I had my guard waaaay up. Within the first 5 minutes I knew Matthew was different. He wasn't just a lawyer, he knew business. He had experience, common sense and could explain things in a very approachable/consumable way. I was sold right away on him. Since then he has done nothing but have me and my team's back through two ventures now. Whenever I need something, he's there. Whenever I have questions, he answers in language I can understand. He's even been a great sounding board for ideas when you're thinking strategically. If your a startup, you NEED to hire Matthew! If you're a seasoned business, I can think of no better person to have in your corner. Matthew's experience, work ethnic, approach, expertise, and just plain being a good human make him indispensable for any team. I'm happy to recommend Matthew and if you want this recommendation straight from me look me up on LinkedIn "Brock Predovich" (I'm the only one :) and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Matt is awesome, he's helping me navigate through challenges I'm facing setting up my company. He's connecting me to the people he knows in my industry, sharing insightful ideas, and providing advice and tips for getting my company off the ground beyond the legal domain as well. Working with him has been a wonderful experience so far, he's smart, very knowledgeable with a great tech understanding. I would recommend him with no hesitation.

Very much appreciate Matt's no non sense delivery of the real world and how to navigate it. His legal advise was spot on re our Tech Start up and LLC for Slicing Pie (Co-Founder equity split).

Recientemente recibí una consultación con señor Rosetti para mi negocio. Él me explicó en buen detalle todas mis opciones y las ventajas y desventajas para cada una. También él es muy amable y es muy facíl para hablar con él de todas mis ideas.
