If I could give this gentleman a six-star review I would very well do that after representing me after I was struck by a vehicle while riding my bike. [Matt Boatman] strongly voiced my opinion, represented me, and did me the greatest outcome that I never thought would even have been possible. If you ever have the chance to have this gentleman/ attorney represent you in your case then consider that a blessing...

Matt Boatman represented me after I was injured in a bar fight while on the job. He coordinated everything with my workman’s comp and law enforcement. He got me a settlement number that I was happy with and aggressively pursued the at fault party. Matt also communicated with me every step of the way with updates on my case and was easily reachable. As frustrating as my situation was, Matt assured me he would handle it. Would highly recommend using G&K if you’re a victim of a crime.

EXCELLENT! I can't imagine how difficult this would have been without Matthew Boatman and Gallagher & Kennedy in my corner. Matthew went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of after the accident.

Matt Boatman was an absolute delight to work with after my husband's car accident. Matt is professional, knowledgeable, accessible and caring. He always kept my husband's medical care and needs forefront. Matt's diligence is the reason we received the highest possible monetary settlement allowed for the case.

I was blessed to have been put in touch with Gallagher and Kennedy. Many law firms will settle for the low hanging fruit but G&K put in the hard work and resources to get me the compensation that I deserved.
