We engaged C. Matthew Thompson at Cokinos Young to assist with a significant payment dispute on a commercial build-out in Houston. His deep knowledge of construction law was immediately apparent. He took the time to thoroughly explain the contractual nuances and Texas-specific statutes that applied to our case, which was invaluable. His 19 years of experience, particularly his recognition in construction law by Best Lawyers, gave us great confidence. Mr. Thompson crafted a strategic approach that avoided costly litigation and successfully negotiated a favorable settlement directly with the opposing party's counsel. His analysis was sharp and his advice was always practical. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, but his associate was always available to bridge the gap. Overall, his expertise from The University of Texas and LSU Law was evident, and we felt well-represented by a true professional in the field.
