About Matthew R. Conklin

I became interested in worker’s compensation law while working as a truck driver, warehouseman, and tree cutter while paying my way through school. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in Aviation Science and Administration (B.S., 2003). I decided to go to law school where my grandfather went, Detroit-Mercy Law School (J.D., 2007) and became focused on personal injury law after a cousin was killed in an industrial accident. I have been elected twice by my peers to the State Bar of Michigan Worker's Compensation Section Council. In 2014, I was selected as a “Rising Star” in Michigan worker’s compensation law. The selection process by “Super Lawyers” included independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. Less than 2.5% of lawyers in a state are selected as “Rising Stars.”

First thing I’ve never had to obtain a lawyer before and I was nervous and wanted to make sure I was not going to be taken advantage of. Even though having to go through something very stressful Matt was up front with me about everything and we communicated by phone and email, which in my case I was glad to do. I’m glad I asked around and I would definitely use him again if I needed to. The office secretary Di is awesome also. Thank you Matt for everything you did and I’m hoping after surgery to put this all behind me. Thanks again and take care.

Matthew was of great help with my case. He kept me informed throughout the process he did advise me it takes time for cases to get resolved. I had questions and he would always answer back right away. The company is very professional. I recommend 100% don't just take my word for it. If you have any questions I would suggest giving Jay Trucks & Associates, PC a call and see what they can do for you. I am glad I was able to get the assistance I needed. Thank you once again, Matthew R. Conklin I really appreciate all you did for me.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
