They went above and beyond fighting my case. Highly recommend them for any law problem.

Mr. Matthews' retainer was very high and I mistakenly assumed that this meant he would work hard and do a great job. He didn't even study the notes I took hours preparing for him and never mentioned several points. I am now having to hire another attorney to sort out issues he should have sorted out, but didn't. He billed me for over 10 hours, then arrogantly alluded to he had spent more hours than that on my case, but I know for a fact he didn't even spend three hours on me.

This is the worst, unprofessional, and expensive attorney I have worked with. Communication is horrible, she does not do what she says she will do, the paperwork is full of spelling mistakes, grammar issues and even the complete wrong names on paperwork in multiple spots. After the initial mistake riddled paperwork was given to me I had to do all corrections myself because of the complete lack of communication on their end. I have been waiting for a month to hear back about getting some of my money back considering my case never even went to court but she's still charging the same amount. To top everything off I never recieved my paperwork and have not heard back despite reaching out multiple times over a month. Please, do yourself a favor and take your money somewhere else.. anywhere else.

It is my decided opinion that William Matthews is an unprofessional, condescending, a self absorbed braggart. He was non-responsive and took offence when asked to do his job of effectively representing me in a divorce. I regret walking into his office. My personal experience with this “attorney” was nightmarish.
A complete review of his performance, in the way he handled my case, would be so negatively detailed that I feel uncomfortable listing the nuances in this forum.

Hon Matthews was the court appointed attorney for my child custody case. He never represented my legal needs, was extremely condescending and collaborated against me with opposing counsel.
