Hired Attorney Matthew R. Zatko

I found Matt on google and sent a request via his website after hours. Matt called me THAT EVENING to discuss the case. He wasted no time. He knew exactly what direction to take, created a calming environment and delivered on what he said he would. HE was there every step. Because of him, everything is being resolved with an outcome better than I thought possible. ‘Big’ firms don’t always equal better or knowledgeable. I’d pick Matt and his crew 1000 times over.

Hired Attorney Grant Shonesky

Attorney Grant Shonesky jumped right into a very complicated and emotional civil case that has been ongoing for five years. Attorney Shonesky showed extreme compassion dealing with the situation, was very knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the law and showed up to my trial ready to win - which is exactly what he did for me. If I ever need to hire counsel again, I will be contacting Grant Shonesky for his services. I cannot thank him enough for finally putting an end to a case that had been tormenting me for five years. Highly recommend!
