CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

My needs were put first by Mike Matera and his team, was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. He fought hard to ensure a great outcome. Couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

My total experience with the firm was excellent, from the first placed call to the office and then with Mr. Matera. I was treated with kindness & concern. Most importantly, I was treated with respect. The staff of the firm are very polite, competent and they work fast! I was treated not just as a client, but as a friend, taking the time to often update on the case, or just to say hello. In my opinion, nothing needs to change. I was very pleased and satisfied with my choice of this law firm.

Meagan C.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I was severely injured in a car accident and unable to work. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I never thought that I would find such a compassionate and selfless human being as my attorney, Michael Matera. He has gone far beyond what I could have expected. He is always there to pick up my call or text back at any time when I needed his guidance. It is rare that you find an attorney that is truly there for his client and not just the compensation. If you are the victim of an accident, Michael Matera is there for all of your legal needs and will do what ever is possible to get what is fair and due to you.
