I had the pleasure of working with Matthew A. Bourque during a sensitive and complex estate settlement. His knowledge and expertise in trusts and estates were evident throughout our proceedings. The clarity with which he explained the legal intricacies of the situation was truly commendable, helping me navigate through the labyrinth of legal jargon with ease. Mr. Bourque is not only a diligent litigator but also a compassionate professional, always ensuring I felt well-informed and supported. However, one area I felt could be improved was the response time to certain emails and phone calls, which at times, seemed slightly delayed. Nonetheless, his professional commitment to my case and his recognition in Trusts and Estates by multiple legal organizations speaks volumes about his caliber as an attorney. I would wholeheartedly recommend Matthew A. Bourque to anyone seeking guidance in estate matters.
