About
I enjoy being involved from the start of a company. This includes the… read more actual formation of the entity itself. I am intimately familiar with corporate formation from LLCs, NPOs, S-Corps, as well as the jurisdiction where the entity should be properly formed. By being involved from the outset, I am able to ensure corporate compliance and compliance with internal rules and regulations as it relates to corporate governance.

Client Reviews
"I hired Matt after my first attorney placated the Court too many times. On Matt's first day in Court, he fought harder for me than on any previous hearing during the pendency of my case, and he set a new tone for future appearances in my favor. Matt clearly explained the law, the possible outcomes, and his strategy, clearing up how he intended to litigate my case, and enabled me to feel secure and hopeful in the ultimate outcome. If you want a lawyer who actually advocates for you, and who also cares about you as an individual as well as for you case more generally, then Matt is the right attorney."
""Matt and I have worked together on a number of litigated matters he has handled for my company over the years. He is a creative problem solver - always looking for efficient and effective ways to resolve any particular matter. He is very proactive and makes it a point to come to the table with options and solutions, and is then adept at executing on the developed plan.""
