Pleasure to do business with mister Matthew V. Portella personally, as well as with his bright and knowledgeable associates and professional and experienced administrative team , especially his administrative assistant Lois Grasso!

Outstanding lawyer—knowledgeable, responsive, professional and truly dedicated. Explains every step clearly and delivers excellent results. Highly recommended! THIS is the guy you call when you need legal help!

I hired Yannick Cools and this man took my case and was absolutely professional,prepared to fight for me and knew the laws and charges I faced and Yannick did an exceptional job for me so I wasn’t looking at big fines and penalties. So I highly recommend him and the law firms services. He had everything on point like he has been doing this for 20-30 years but he’s a young professional man that’s going to fight for you no matter what your charges are. He’s highly recommended and I have a lot of respect for him.

Matt Portella truly saved me in times of need and I could never thank him enough!! He does an amazing job executing legal representation in the court of law, does his part thoroughly, and helped me out of troubling situations that I thought would affect me for the rest of my life. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a defensive lawyer as he will 100% help you as much as he can when you need to face legal issues!

I was blindsided by a harassment complaint that, on the surface, might’ve looked like a simple dispute—but it was anything but. It turned out to be part of a much broader campaign of legal harassment, involving multiple jurisdictions and a long history of provocation. A lot of attorneys would have focused only on the surface-level filing and missed the bigger picture. Matt didn’t. He took the time to understand the full context—including the history and tactics behind the complaint—and never once got distracted by the noise. He zeroed in on what mattered, pushed back firmly, and negotiated a position where the other side had to produce real evidence before moving forward. They couldn’t. The case was dropped. What stood out was how grounded and strategic Matt was in a situation designed to be overwhelming and messy. He kept me focused, kept things in perspective, and always told it to me straight. If you’re dealing with someone who’s using the legal system as a weapon, Matt’s the person you want beside you. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

If you are ever in need of any legal assistance, I recommend the Law Offices of Mathew V Portella. Matthew did an exceptional job with my case. He worked swiftly and tirelessly to ensure that we got the most favorable outcome. He is very patient and down to earth which also allows for smooth communication between Attorney and Client.
