An ERISA Expert Who Navigates Complex Benefits with Ease

Our company faced a daunting compliance audit of our 401(k) plan. Matt Mellin’s deep, 40+ year specialization in employee benefits law was immediately apparent. He didn't just cite regulations; he explained the practical implications for our business. His background, including time as a staff attorney for a major benefits consulting firm, gave him unique insight into the auditor's perspective. We felt completely secure under his guidance. The matter was resolved favorably and efficiently, avoiding significant penalties. His recent recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved. Matt is a consummate professional who delivers exceptional results.
