Tate DeanOctober 14, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I met Matthew I had been looking for a lawyer for a short time but already spoken to 4 others. He called me back proptly and we spoke for a long time about my case but also who I was as a person. I felt heard and supported and the way he spoke about his knowledge regarding my case's nature, he had already presented himself better than any of the other lawyers I had met. When we appeared at court he was strong and direct and efficient. I was very impressed on every court visit and I feel like he gave me and my case the attention I hoped for. I don't know what I was expecting but this was so much better. I can't say i was just lucky to have this man as my lawyer. He really helped me. Following up, I'm thankful for his legal representation, impressed by his personal character and I would recommend him to anyone seeking support through their struggle with the Rhode Island court system. FIVE STARS! I wish I could give him 6. Christine GuardinoSeptember 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. LaMountain is patient, respectful and informative. I live out of state and he was prompt in responding to any of my texts or phone calls with any questions or concerns which helped put my mind at ease. He fought for me to preserve my rights and we worked together through the whole process allowing me to get a exceptionally fair deal. He explained everything I needed to sign in detail and explained everything every step of the way so there were never any surprises. I would highly recommend using him to represent you if you want someone that is truly going to be on your side.
