What our clients think of us

We met Matthew when he gave a seminar on estate planning. The information he provided and questions he answered made us want to contact him again. Our goal was to have a plan in place so our 2 adult daughter's knew our wishes. Matthew made that happen. He was easy to talk to and responded in a very timely manner. He did an excellent job of answering any and all questions to make sure we understood our options. We were very happy with the end result. Matthew and Chong Lor have put together a very nice welcoming and charming atmosphere at their new office. It was very calming and relaxing at every visit. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to family and friends.

Liz

My wife and I are so thankful to have found Underwood Legal LLC. We were in a tough and stressful situation and Matt was able to reduce our stress and mitigate our fears. Throughout the entire process Matt was professional and did his best to be efficient and reduce our legal bills. His expertise was crucial to the favorable outcome of our case and we can't thank him and everyone at Underwood Legal enough.

Kong

I met Matthew before he hung his own shingle and found his work so thorough and complete I followed him to have him do a trust for myself. He and his wife are so pleasant to work with, you have complete confidence in the work they do. To top of the excellent work they do they help in every way possible.

Mark

Five star company! My husband and I recently had our estate planing done by Underwood Legal, and Matt and his wife Chong were great to work with. Don't procrastinate on your estate planning, call Underwood Legal today, they will do the work for you and make the process as painless as possible. Plus, you are supporting a small, local, family owned business. Thank you Underwood Legal!

Holly

I really didn't know what to expect going into our estate planning process, but I will say that Matt and Chong completely over-delivered on any expectations that I had. They made my wife and I feel at east with the process and decision making, were extremely diligent in preparing all documents, and, above all, have been exceptional with their various follow ups. I can not recommend Underwood Legal LLC more for estate planning needs.

Jeff

I met with Matt and his wife for my estate planning in January 2020. My will had to be expedited due to unforseen medical circumstances and they were wonderful to work with. They were both knowledgeable and compassionate throughout all of our interactions. I highly recommend them!

Donna

We needed to update our existing Trust to incorporate changes from the past 15+ years when it was established. We met Matt at another firm and when he formed his own firm we went with him. Matt has taken the time to know more about us; beyond what the Trust document entails and helps us understand the present and future ramifications of the Trust.
I am always pleased by the time and personal attention Matt and Chong take when we visit. They take the time to get to know the people they work with and their concerns....I hesitate to say "clients" - it's a more personal relationship!

Bill

5 stars!! I highly recommend Matt and the Underwood Legal team!! As an Executive Director of a small, growing business, Matt was able to help my team review lease agreements for new rental space and address other questions we had that needed a legal lens as we grow! He responded in record time, was thorough in his work, professional, and an excellent communicator! We will be using him in the future for all our legal questions and needs!

Amanda O.

Matt is friendly, patient and pleasant to work with. He is good at making complicated legal concepts more clear and understandable, to those less familiar, including the use of visuals. When we worked with Matt, he explained all of our options and the trade-offs without trying to steer us toward the most expensive option. We would (and plan to) work with Matt again.

Andy

Matt Underwood exceeded our expectations. He took the time to get to know us so he could provide advice for our situation, and he explained everything in an easy to understand way. He is very knowledgeable, and we appreciated him taking the time to answer all of our questions. Matt was also very responsive to our emails and phone calls. We have already recommended him to our friends.

Elle

Matt took the time to get to know me and my long term plans. We discussed my immediate plans to move across the country as well as how to amend my documents once I moved and/or married. His sincerity was demonstrated by his thoughtful questions and his interest in my personal goals. I recommend him to anyone planning their estate.

Mike

I live in California. I had a probate matter with regard to handling my brother's estate in Wisconsin. Matthew and his firm were recommended by an attorney I have known for years in Madison. My issue was small but a roadblock to handling his estate. Matthew took the time to work with me and review all my documentation and came up with a resolution to the issue. I was impressed with this because we had to do everything over the phone and computer. I enjoyed working with him and have recommended him to my family who live in Madison, WI.

Penny

Matt made it so easy to get my LLC all put together! Before reaching out to him, I was trying to figure it all out on my own and it was a mess. I cannot thank him enough for his patience in answering all my questions and being so efficient. I feel so relieved that everything is completed. He is definitely someone you can trust and count on! I whole heartily recommend him for anyone looking to register their small business.

Mai See

Matt is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind, which was just what we needed! We never felt rushed or pressured, it was a very positive and calm experience. I truly feel that he has our best interests at heart, and I highly recommend him! His lovely wife makes any visit to the office extra warm and inviting! 5 stars!

Laura

Matthew was amazing at guiding us through all the fine details of making up our Estate Plan. We now feel at ease that our families won’t have any trouble or any major decisions to make when we pass. He answered all our questions in a very timely manner and was willing to talk at anytime. We are pleased that we found Matthew!

Amanda

I feel very fortunate to have found Matt to help me with matters related to my parents. I live in Connecticut and my parents are in madison. He has provided me with a number of services including power of attorney, adding myself as a trustee for my parents trust, assisting on closing for my parents condo and writing a letter to wells fargo justifying a step up in my moms investments since wisconsin is a community property state after my dad passed in november 2018. The best thing i could have done was to retain his services. It has afforded me peace of mind and i can alwas count on getting sound advice on many issues.

Steven

My husband and I loved working with Matt! His office and staff were very inviting the second we walked through the door. He was extremely professional, very responsive, and was well-prepared for every meeting. He walked us through the process (as it was new to us), answered all of our questions, and made sure we not only understood but were also comfortable with everything before we moved on to the next topic or step. Matt was very thorough and explained things we didn't even know or think to ask about. He really tries to find ways to connect with his clients and you can tell he has your best interest at heart. I would highly recommend him for any estate planning needs. You'll be in great hands!

Kristyn

Matt was great to work with. He walked us through the process of updating our family trust documentation and made it so easy to complete the process. A couple of face to face meetings and a few e-mail exchanges and we had the perfect plan for us. Matt was easy to talk with and answered all of our legal questions in ways that we could understand and then act on. We would highly recommend working with Matt to anyone looking to create or update their estate planning documentation.
