Very helpful and very efficient
We have worked with many different attorneys, but have never come across such a proactive, involved, energetic, open and compassionate attorney as Matt Baione. The health situation is extreme and Matt handled our needs with meticulous detail, urgency and care. Our case was somewhat complicated and no other attorneys wanted to take on the case. Matt understood the laws and was able to get us a substantial settlement with unbelievable speed. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we give him the highest marks of excellence and wholeheartedly recommend Matt Baione.
Matthew Baione of the firm helped my family with the most professional, efficient and speedy process that I've ever experienced in my entire life. Not only did he take the time for a thorough consultation, but he also helped us expedite our process claim and within 6 weeks, Matthew was able to help us get our case resolved and approved. Our family appreciates his help greatly, especially because he worked with us with a very friendly and understanding manner, and was also always quick to respond. He was available to answer all our questions, and addressed almost immediately any issues that came up throughout the process. We would highly recommend him to all others if needed in the future. Thank you so much for your help Matthew!
On behalf of Suhail Vales: Words cannot describe what the actions, hard work, dedication and true meaningful commitment of Matthew Baione mean to me. He demonstrated true love to me through his services. There are attorneys who see their jobs as a means to an end: earn a good living helping people through a respectable practice. Then there are those attorneys who truly give their entire soul and existence into, not just a job, but a life long career in exercising benevolence through practicing law. This man personifies these things that I write in this review. His expertise, knowledge and experience are obviously held to a high standard with his practice and it starts with him. Take those ingredients and mix them with love and you have a grateful person like me hoping that everyone else who needs a lawyer like him is as lucky as I am to have received what he gave to me. Thank you so much Matthew!
