I never got the opportunity to meet Matthew Paulson in person. We spoke briefly over the phone for a couple of minutes. I explained to him what I needed to hire him for. I picked his name from the internet directory and his reviews were good. After a month and a half he admitted that he had done nothing and wanted me to resend the information to him. I said forget it and fired him he refused to return all my retainer fee. Then I turned to the ARDC and they said to cut my losses. It was a costly decision to hire Matthew Paulson.

Matthew Paulson is one of the best attorneys and people you could ever hope to find. As an attorney I have seen him win cases that few other attorneys could hope to win. There should be no hesitation in deciding to hire Matthew Paulson as your attorney. Having him on your side is a tremendous advantage.
