Practice Areas: Litigation

Matt founded the firm and assembled our team based on his belief that traditional law firms do not adequately serve the business community. Matt put together a team of seasoned attorneys who focus on value above all. Indeed, the groundswell of entrepreneurs bringing new products and services to market has created a space for the unconventional practice of law. The bottom line is that the business landscape has changed dramatically – from the growing list of innovative businesses to the surge in non-traditional crowdfunding opportunities – the business world requires more than what the traditional law office can offer. This demand was the impetus for our flagship In-House Counsel Experience.. Before starting the Firm, Matt worked at one of the Capital District’s more notable law firms. There, he focused on representing large national and regional clients with a variety of business and litigation matters including highly complex commercial disputes, corporate governance matters, and regulatory compliance.

Practice Areas: Speeding & Traffic Ticket

My goal is to represent clients charged with violations of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law as ethically and professionally as possible, and in a manner which meets and exceeds their expectations as much as the law and the ethics code will allow. I represent people who have received speeding and basically any other kind of traffic tickets/violations, people who have suffered a driver's license suspension, people charged with non-felony DWI/DWAI or other Vehicle and Traffic misdemeanors, and people who are charged with almost any other Vehicle and Traffic Law infraction incurred anywhere in New York State, except for New York City. I serve as the friendly and attentive counselor at law to both my clients and my colleagues, making myself as available as possible to all inquiries, and responding to such inquiries with the promptness, courtesy, respect and professionalism that I would expect if I were in the inquirer's position. As I am aware of the financial difficulty that so many people are suffering right now, I also strive to charge legal fees, for my services, that are VERY competitive and reasonable. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or other issues, at my e-mail address: or on my cell phone:, anytime, day or night, week day or weekend.
