Hands down the best wrongful death and serious personal injury lawyer in the state of Georgia. All personal injury lawyers are NOT the same, regardless of how good they look in an ad or a review. I say this as a personal injury lawyer who has seen Matt try many jury trials with unparalleled success. Unfortunately, I also now say it from the perspective of suffering a family tragedy and my family needing a wrongful death attorney. My family chose Matt without thinking twice and would do it again.

Q. Was this lawyer an effective advocate/counselor and why?

The best. I've never seen another lawyer like him. His mind works so fast and he thinks so far ahead that there is really no way for the defense to prepare for a trial against him. This is reflected in his verdicts. Likewise, his verdict history, combined with his ability and eagerness to go to trial, translates into higher settlement values.

Legal Knowledge: Excellent

He stays on top of changes in the law and knows the law off the top of his head.

Legal Analysis: Excellent

He knows how to effectively use the law to maximize verdicts or settlements for his clients.

Communication Skills: Excellent

Like nothing I've ever seen. Uses logic and sincerity to connect with a jury like nobody else can.

Ethics and Professionalism: Excellent

Highly ethical. Very adept at catching those who are not and convincing a jury to make them pay for it.

Q. For which practice area(s) would you recommend this lawyer?
Wrongful death and serious injury cases of any kind anywhere in the United States.
Q. Which of the following skills does this lawyer possess?
