When my son was accused, I had no idea who to call. A friend of a friend recommended Matt, so I called and left a message hoping I'd hear something before the office opened on Monday. Matt called us back early Sunday morning. I thought he was very personable, knowledgeable and caring - and we were complete strangers! We truly appreciated his advice in this trying time, and he was gracious enough to recommend a good lawyer to work with that was much closer to home.

We called Matt with questions regarding all the possible outcomes and next steps related to a motor vehicle accident. Matt was very prompt in returning our call and was informative, helpful, and professional. It was obvious that Matt knows what he's talking about and his expertise eased our minds. I highly recommend him.

I went to Mr. Willis with 2 charges pending against me. I got a job promotion and I hade exactly 1 month to reapply. Because of the pandemic I wasn’t able to get to court for almost a year to get these 2 cases cleared up. Mr. Willis got both cases dropped in a matter of 2 weeks and I GOT THE JOB! He is an excellent lawyer and I highly recommend him. He stayed in contact with me to let me know what was going on with the case and the progress of the case. Overall he was very professional and nice.

Attorney Willis had great reviews and they were right on. My initial consultation left me feeling that he would be the right choice. He listened and explained things in a way that were easy to understand. He’s down to earth, responds quickly, clearly and does what he says he’s going to do. Our case was like a maze and he went beyond helping and guiding us. We would have been lost without him. So glad we found him.

Matt handled a difficult case for me but resolved it in a very positive way in which I definitely benefited from his professionalism and experience. He informed me of what to expect every step of the way and In an even shorter time frame than expected. Although I hope I never need his assistance in the future, he would definitely be my first phone call if I need an attorney.

I have quite a poor driving record, and Matt did an amazing job of getting an offense dropped, which otherwise would have jeopardized my ability to maintain my license

Matt is a very thorough and competent professional who always had my best interests in mind. I was always informed and updated on the process and always felt like I was in very good hands. He never missed a scheduled meeting and always took my calls. What I especially liked about Matt was his ability to remain calm in crisis situations.

Called for consultation on a traffic violation for my teen age daughter. She was so worried about how much it was going to cost her. Advised us as to what we needed to do. Asked us for certain documents pertaining to the ticket/summons and said he'd handle the rest. Rearrainged her court date to a date he was going to be at the court for another case. Went on her behalf and got it nollied. Shes so relieved it's not going to raise her insurance rates

Matt was my lawyer is a recent personal injury action. Matt is excellent in many ways. His grasp of the law. His willingness to research areas in which he knows 99% but wants to know 100%. His creativity--he thought of a new action which resulted in a better outcome than the original action. His communication skills. His profound concern for the well being (broadly defined) of his client. Last but not least, Matt is a great guy.
