Testimonials
RatingThey exceeded expectations and did an outstanding job on my case. Would and will recommend
I contacted attorney Forrest after my Cadillac CT5 Blackwing was rear ended. I was looking at a significant loss in value due to something out of my control. Thankfully, attorney Forrest knew this as well and he went to work for me --- I'm happy to now report that he got me a diminished value figure for my vehicle that I'm extremely pleased with. Thank you to attorney Forrest and Amy!
I cannot overstate how wonderful this firm is. They walked me through the process and prepared me for my deposition. Everyone involved, but especially Attorney Forrest was professional, sincere, and highly adept and making sure I, as a client, felt heard and care for through the entire process of my suit. Thank you!
Great service! I got more than what I was expecting. 10/10 would call them again!
Mr. Forrest was incredibly professional and easy to work with. He and his team kept me informed throughout the entire process and always took the time to explain things clearly. His communication was excellent, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, the outcome was very positive. I highly recommend Mr. Forrest to anyone looking for a dependable and knowledgeable attorney.
I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in my lifetime, too many. But every so often you get the pleasure of working with one that is responsive, to the point, easy to get in contact with and is sympathetic to your situation. Matthew Forrest was that lawyer for me. He handled a diminished value claim on a pretty expensive vehicle. He fought like hell to get us what we were entitled to and did so professionally and in a timely manner. I have already referred others to him and have no reservations suggesting you put him on your short list for any diminished value or vehicle related matters. Highly Recommended.
