 Matt’s Coaching Philosophy

“Knowledge is power.  So, I teach my business coaching clients.  Teaching is a critical part of what good coaches do.  We impart knowledge, share experiences and explain the rationale behind good business decisions.  I have expertise, training and experiences in a wide range of business matters- from managerial accounting to law to marketing.  I also understand that I lack the expertise and time to know it all.  So, whenever appropriate, I refer my clients to other advisors and professionals who can provide additional or better-suited services.  I believe in team-building, using time-tested, proven business methods, and hard work.  At every coaching session, I try to impact my clients’ businesses and packing in as much knowledge and learning as possible.  I use my nearly two decades of coaching business owners by sharing client-examples, diagrams, books, articles and other resources.  If I can find a tool or technique to help a client’s business, I’ll use it.”

Matt’s Law Practice Philosophy

“I try hard to accomplish three things with my clients that many attorneys do not consider.  First, I take the time to teach my clients. I explain the law in easily understood terms to empower my clients with the knowledge they need to make better decisions. I explain the costs, benefits, risks and opportunities of their business and legal decisions, and then help guide the client through the decision-making process.  I appreciate the importance of clients making their own decisions, where many attorneys presumptively make choices that belong to their clients. I am first and foremost an educator to my clients, and few attorneys help clients in that way.

Secondly, I strive to add value to every client representation. That goal is a central component of our law firm’s Mission Statement, and I take that pledge very seriously. Adding value to every client representation means that we deliver high quality services for fair fees in an appropriate manner. For example, it rarely makes sense for a client to incur attorneys’ fees in an amount exceeding the amount at issue in a dispute. We balance the client’s needs with the costs associated with meeting those needs. As a result, we often have to be creative and inventive in finding solutions.

Finally, I learned long ago that good lawyers are problem-solvers. My job is to identify and solve problems for our clients. Staying focused on the client’s goals often results in us devising mechanisms and solutions we were never taught in law school. Our decades of experience in solution-driven law practice have made us better lawyers. That approach is central to how we help our clients today.
