Deborah Gail Matthews

I had the privilege of working under Deborah Matthews more than 25 years ago when I was a paralegal and she was a supervising attorney. From day one, Deborah set the standard for what strong leadership, sharp legal thinking, and genuine mentorship look like. She not only guided my work with clarity and patience, but she also went out of her way to help me secure my next position—an opportunity that shaped the rest of my career. All these years later, Deborah remains someone I trust and turn to for insight. She listens deeply, asks the right questions, and brings a sharp, thoughtful perspective to even the most complex issues. Her critical eye, sound judgment, and genuine care for the people she supports make her stand out not just as an attorney, but as a person. I value Deborah immensely—as a legal mind, as a mentor, and as a friend. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly trustworthy attorney.

I have been working with Ms. Deborah Matthews to update and amend my will and trust. Throughout the process, Ms Matthews has been exceedingly helpful in explaining the various aspects and details involved. Her guidance has made it much easier for me tom understand the necessary steps and decisions required for updating these important legal documents. Ms Mathews has been helpful, competent and very professional throughout the process. I recommend her to anyone in need of such services.

Deb Matthews and I are members of the same Unitarian church. When I began asking around for a reference to a lawyer to help me make end-of-life documents, another member who goes to baseball games with her (I don't) referred me to Deb since that is exactly her practise. All her communications with me were thorough, detailed, instructive, and precise. And she was compassionate with my delayed responses due to the nasty side effects of my concurrent cancer treatment. Her office and staff are a model of client courtesy and comfort. I would trust her with anything else requiring counsel.

I had a difficult situation unraveling my father's estate after he passed and I knew I did not want my family to have to go through that for me. Deb came highly recommended to me and I cannot express how much my entire experience with her and her team has put me at ease with my own Will and estate planning. Her willingness to listen to my experience and then explain every step of the process was invaluable. I thank her for giving me peace of mind

My mom hired Deborah for her estate planning. Deb organized all of the assets such that when my mom passed and I was named Executor, my job was so much less difficult than it might have been. When I spoke with the tax accountant to complete mom's tax return, the accountant was repeatedly astonished that my mom's estate had been so meticulously planned that every contingency had been provided for in advance. Settling an estate is probably quite a lot of work, but because of Deborah's foresight and planning, my mom left a pretty easy path for me. Deborah always responded promptly to my questions and patiently and thoroughly explained everything I needed to do. I am personally planning to hire Deborah to do my will and estate.

I was recommended to Deborah by a close friend of mine who’s judgement I respect, (perfectionist when it comes to legal/tax matters). I walked out with my documentation in record time knowing me and my loved ones are legally protected to the full extent of the law. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank her legal team Cassandra and Natalie, (hope I spelt your name correctly). They are a delight who really know their jobs. Well done folks. I recommend Deborah to anyone.

Deb provided me with estate planning and documents. She grasped my situation immediately and gave me valuable legal advice and recommendations. I'm grateful for her professional and timely service.

She responded quickly and saw me right away when I had an urgent need. Everything was completed smoothly and efficiently by the entire office team. They offered full service completion of my estate documents. Ms Matthews rhinks quickly and planned all my documents including communicating rapidly with my other attorneys to make sure that I had all I needed. She was very kind with the fees and understood my problems very well.

Ms. Matthews recently consulted with my 91 year old uncle on his estate plan. I was greatly impressed with her professionalism and efficiency, as well as her interaction with my uncle. She communicated with her client with respect and dignity, actively listening and responding to his requests, questions and summary of his estate. She completed the consultation, and his Durable Power of Attorney and Medical Directive within an hour. I highly recommend Deborah Matthews.

Debra guided us through the details of creating a will, estate planning and end of life options. She is thorough, knowledgeable and patient. Her staff is also an asset. I can't thank you enough for putting our minds at rest with a complicated and sensitive issue.
