Ellen Le
EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Matt helped me locate somebody who had an assault and battery warrant out for him…IN JUST A FEW HOURS! With his help, the police were able to serve my abuser and I could finally get my justice. He was very helpful and always replied in a timely manner. Not only was he very responsive, but he had a super quick turnaround. I felt like Matt genuinely wanted to help me. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Matt!!! More...
