Matthew was thorough and strategic from the start. He took the time to explain all of my options at every step, and he brought both a command of the facts and a broad base of legal knowledge. Since then, I’ve reached out several times with follow up questions, and he’s always been generous with his time and expertise. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for an employment attorney.

Booked a phone consultation with them, but no one ever called. I waited around 15 minutes before giving up. Very unprofessional experience. If this is how they handle things at the very first stage, it’s hard to trust how they’ll treat you once you’ve paid them.

I don't take reviews lightly, but Matthew is beyond worthy of a commendable one. Found myself in a unique situation transitioning from one employer to another and was uncertain how to navigate independently. From my initial consultation to the close of my case, he confidently facilitated and instructed every step and carried us through to two favourable outcomes. My case was complex and required the utmost patience and diligence-Matthew was the perfect, trusted legal partner to take this on. Wouldn't have reached my next career move without his expertise, dedication and empathic nature. If I had to go through this again, I would not hesitate having Matthew on my team, and I have no doubts he will get you to where you need to be. Humbled and honored to have had you representing me--Thank you again, Matthew! Forever indebted to you and your practice.
I met via Zoom with Matthew Ennis for a consultation on a Severance and Release Agreement, mainly for review and to help inform my next steps. Mr. Ennis is quick to respond, extremely thorough, flexible, and calmly confident and trustworthy. What maybe stood out the most is that he was upfront, transparent, and honest in a uniquely kind, caring, and empathetic manner. Whether via phone call, emails, or Zoom call, I never once felt rushed, misunderstood, or not listened to. If I ever need to consult with or hire an attorney again, I will certainly be a repeat client, as I had an excellent experience. Mr. Ennis is knowledgeable, capable, trustworthy, and empathetic, and I will also be recommending him to friends and family as needed for any relevant legal concerns.

He didn't rush the process, and made sure I felt confident and informed before moving forward. If you want an attorney who is both highly competent and approachable, look no further.

I am so grateful for Matthew Ennis and the outstanding support he provided me. From day one, he was approachable, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions thoroughly, and always made sure I felt informed and reassured. What impressed me most was how dedicated he was to my case. Matthew combined compassion with sharp legal expertise, and he went above and beyond to achieve a positive outcome. It was clear he genuinely cared, not only about the details of the case but also about my peace of mind throughout the process. If you’re looking for an attorney who is professional, responsive, and truly invested in his clients’ best interests, I highly recommend Matthew. You’ll be in excellent hands.
I had an excellent experience working with Matthew. He was easy to partner with, listened closely to my concerns, and carefully reviewed my severance agreement, breaking down the legal jargon into clear terms I could understand. I appreciated that I could ask “what-if” scenarios, and he provided thoughtful, practical advice for each. His guidance gave me a clear path forward and the peace of mind I needed to make the right decision.
