FROM OUR BUSINESS CLIENTS

"I have been working with Mathew for years. He helped me start my business about seven years ago and basically served as an outside counsel whenever we had regulatory issues, personnel issues, litigation issue and even an arbitration. Of all our 'vendors' Mathew and his associate Liz were the most available. Whenever we had an issue, they were on it. Recently, I decided to sell my company and start a new business. The sale was a major undertaking and Mathew and Liz marshaled it without a hitch. It was a three week rolling closing and they made sure the trains stayed on time. Really impressive. Now that I am opening a new company, they also have the knowledge to get everything in order. I recommend Mathew and his firm for your business related issues. From the document work to litigation, they do it all. I will continue to use them in the future."
