Matthew Olaiya is an example, regardless of "disability", for all attorneys serving in the justice system today. His professional work in the U.S. was exemplary; Matthew had a vision to maintain individual rights from a legal standpoint and he followed through in his practice which reflected that the freedoms of all were distinctly and equitably represented. Matthew had the unique ability to foresee the potential challenges of his clients, and would strategically plan to overcome these in a professional, timely and effective manner.

Having known Matthew for over two decades, his professional work is evidenced by a solid comprehension and application of the legal system; he never settles for mediocre, nor will he allow the legal system to override or take advantage of his clients. His brilliant mind in combination with a true spirit of humanitarian concern and effort make him a unique and outstanding representative of the legal profession. It is with absolute distinction that this man be recognized for his efforts in the legal profession.

Sincerely, Ms. Claudia Smith-Cournoyer Eau Claire, WI U.S.A.
