On May 19, 2015, Governor Jay Nixon announced that Missouri had reached a $4.5 million settlement agreement with Aetna. The insurance company had failed to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism in violation of a 2010 law mandating that insurance companies operating in Missouri provide such coverage.

"Dear Tim & Matt, Because of you Jim and I are enjoying lots of improvements in our home, dinners out without worrying about the bill, helping a bit with our grandkids expenses- you’ve made our lives easier – as Jim and I have discussed- we would have loved to seen you finish the trial- you were excellent – if only we were a little younger- but we’re very happy with the outcome – Thanks to you both."-Judy and Jim
"Matt Davis went out of his way to make sure my needs were met. He drove 75 miles to meet me halfway between Sikeston and St. Louis, just so I wouldn’t have to drive the whole distance. I was very satisfied with how prompt Matt was about getting things done, and couldn’t have been more satisfied with the way things turned out. At the very beginning Matt told me it was going to be a hard case to win, and he asked me what I wanted to do. I said I wanted to carry on and he did. Matt did a very good job, and he did very good by me."-Shannon
"Dear Matt ~ I am writing to you on behalf of my husband and I to thank you for your many hours of work to assist us in receiving the long-term disability benefit that was deserved to my husband from his employer. Your thorough research, understanding, and personal attention to all the details of our case went above and beyond our hope. Your counsel was honest and realistic knowing the organization we were up against and the odds of a successful outcome were not in our favor. Even though we live in another state, you kept us updated throughout the process and coordinated the one trip we needed to be in St. Louis easy and comfortable.The positive end result of our case was truly a blessing that we can only attribute to you and your expertise. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for all you have done for us! Thank you Matt! "-Don and Barbara
