"Matt is our "go-to" lawyer for all single plaintiff employment cases. He is extremely client-focused and responsive, with excellent technical expertise and judgment. What really sets Matt apart from other outside counsel we have used, however, is his business acumen. He looks at cases from a client's perspective, both in terms of economics and potential precedential effect. He understands which cases need to be litigated vigorously and which should be settled. It is refreshing to find a lawyer who can be both counselor and business partner."
- Kevin Covert (Honeywell International), Morristown, NJ
