Testimonials
RatingMatthew from the start was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I got a call on Christmas Eve that my case was complete at a much bigger amount than anticipated. From the start I was told these things take time, which they do. My case went to arbitration which was handled beautifully by Matthew and his team. It took very little work on my end to do what was necessary in order to get back what was taken from me in the accident. I couldn’t recommend Matthew and his team more. Their expertise, professionalism, dedication and customer service is on an extraordinary level. I was referred by Fairfield Auto Collision and I am very happy that they gave me that card. Couldn’t thank Matthew and his team enough!

I had a truly fantastic experience with Attorney Matthew Forrest and his team. He recently settled a diminished value claim for my vehicle, and the monetary settlement was significantly more than I had anticipated. From the very first contact, both he and the legal staff at the firm were incredibly professional, kind, and responsive. They were always prompt in their communication and kept me informed at every step, whether through detailed emails or courteous follow-up phone calls. What really stood out was how painless they made the entire process. Dealing with insurance claims can be a challenge, but Attorney Forrest and his team handled everything with such efficiency and courtesy that it was a completely stress-free experience. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with a diminished value claim.
