Matthew Michaud, Esq.
Personal Profile
Practicing Partner
Since we don't like boasting, we will just share what our clients are saying:
"Professional and focused; hardworking and gets the job done right the first time. The best lawyer you can find! Matt doesn't come across like most lawyers I have met. From the beginning of my legal needs, he took his time with the details and really got to know every aspect of my case. He asked questions clearly so he understands and it's almost like he put himself in my shoes. He is very much a straight shooter, which I appreciate. Matt is a professional, but he is also a person that you'll feel is a friend. When you choose him, you choose more than a lawyer; you choose a real advocate you can keep coming to. Thank you Matt for all your hard work, and for helping me through one of the most difficult times of my life. You made the transition easier and allowed me to focus on more important things."
Those are not my words... the above is a review from one of our clients.

"I've known Simone from she was a teenage girl growing up in beautiful Jamaica. I've watched her growth, seen first-hand––her love for family, and have mentored her in her professional development. I can attest to her integrity and dedication in all that she aspire to achieve. There's not many people that I can truly say that I've met who has made such an impact on me over the years as an old Marine. A true person of integrity knows to give credit where credit is due.
