So glad I found Matthew. Helped me through a rough transition and had my back! Life long client Working with Matthew Rossetti from Sentient Law has been an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. From the moment I reached out, he demonstrated an extraordinary level of care and urgency. I called him about one of the most critical and time-sensitive decisions of my life, and within 15 minutes, he returned my call and scheduled a consultation that same afternoon. Matthew approached my case as though it was his own, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with precision and care. It felt like having an extension of myself, someone who truly had my back in every way. I’ve worked with many lawyers in the past, but I’ve never encountered anyone with Matthew’s unique combination of professionalism, warmth, and genuine investment in his clients. Not only did he guide me through complex legal matters with patience and clarity—taking the time to explain everything to me as if I were new to the process—but he also proactively identified potential issues in my business that I hadn’t even considered. Thanks to his insight, I was able to avoid serious risks and protect my business in ways I hadn’t thought possible. That alone was invaluable. Matthew’s ability to instill peace of mind throughout such a stressful process is truly unmatched. Dealing with legal matters is rarely enjoyable, but having someone like him on my side made it as seamless and reassuring as it could possibly be. He’s not just a lawyer—he’s an advocate, a problem-solver, and someone you can trust implicitly. I can’t recommend Matthew Rossetti and Sentient Law enough. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, goes above and beyond, and treats your case like it’s his top priority, Matthew is your guy. I’ll be singing his praises for years to come, and he’ll absolutely be my first call for any legal needs in the future. I’m endlessly grateful for his support and expertise!
