  I'm an attorney in Connecticut and I referred a client of mine to atty Cox at the Burns Bryant law firm for a New Hampshire car accident. Matt Cox is a very smart, experienced, and compassionate attorney, and he did a great job handling the case. The client got a good settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend Atty Matt Cox for any accident case in New Hampshire.

  We recently had the pleasure of working with Attorneys Matt Cox and John Durkin. We were extremely satisfied with both the level of professionalism and quality of service with which we were provided. From our initial contact, all of our questions were addressed thoroughly and promptly. Any time we had questions or needed to discuss anything they were always available. We were always treated as though we mattered, and were given timely updates and support. I would highly recommend Matt or John to anyone seeking quality representation.

  I would like to thank the Law Firm of Burns, Bryant, Cox Rockefeller & Durkin P.A. for their assistance with my Motor Vehicle Accidents. From the first phone call, Paralegal Julie Cope kept me informed of every step of the process. She was always there for my questions and made sure I understood everything. Attorney Matthew Cox, did a fantastic job protecting my rights and getting what I deserved. When I was in two serious motor vehicle accidents, he settled both cases with the utmost professionalism. He truly understood my concerns and what I was going through. I would highly recommend the Law Firm of Burns, Bryant, Cox Rockefeller & Durkin P.A. They treat you with respect and made me feel that my case mattered and any concerns I had were answered. Thank you again for everything you did. Helene from Rochester NH.

  I had a rather traumatic brain injury after a horrid car accident and had some 'problems' that I needed legal assistance with. I recommend Attorney John Durkin 5/5 stars- I was treated with respect and attention and the case was taken care of so well and professionally and took a bunch of stress away at a time I was very stressed. Mr. Durkin's staff are also very kind- Sandy, his legal assistant, is on top of communication and sending out information about cases. This law firm in general are very nice people!

  I had a serious injury while skiing that was caused by another party. I reached out to Mathew Cox for legal representation in my personal injury case. I am extremely happy with the resolution that was reached with Matt and team's help. Matt and his team were obviously experienced and knowledgeable from the first interaction and throughout. I feel Matt and his team had the perfect balance of kind and approachable while guiding and offering recommendations for me to make informed decisions throughout the whole process. Thank you Matt, Julie, and Marie for your kindness and support... not to mention the impeccable professional service.
