Deborah Gail Matthews

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 was very fortunate to retain Deb as my Attorney in assisting me with the duties associated with administering my uncle's estate. This was my first experience with the probate process, and it seemed quite daunting at first. As it turned out, navigating through the probate process was made much e...asier thanks to the exceptional experience, knowledge, organization, support, guidance and professionalism of Deb and her team. I was provided with the necessary information, documents, and referrals. Communication from her office was courteous, timely and professional, and follow-up by her office was performed in a timely manner. I am most grateful to Deb and her team for services, guidance and support provided. I highly recommend Deb and her team for their dedication, experience, and ability to effectively and efficiently provide the necessary legal assistance associated with the handling of any estate matter, with compassion, professionalism, and respect.

Deb came highly recommended to me after I had a difficult time dealing with my father's estate. I did not want my family to have the same issues. She and her time were great, explained all the steps need for a Will and estate planning, everything was done in a timely manner. I cannot thank her e...nough for the peace of mind she has provided for me

Deborah has been SO helpful to us at different phases of our life. After we had children it all became real! Deb helped us with all aspects of estate planning – writing a will, establishing a trust, setting up medical directives, powers of attorney, etc. And she looked out for us over the years. When... our oldest child turned 18, she helped them set up their own power of attorney and medical directive so that we could continue to legally act on their behalf if the need ever arises (something we weren’t even aware we needed to do!). Our youngest just turned 18 and completed the same paperwork and I am so grateful with how much time and care Deb took with her. She was very welcoming and patient, taking the time needed to make sure she understood everything. She has always made us feel comfortable, no matter our questions! Deb is extremely knowledgeable and very caring. Highly recommend.

As coincidently both my estate attorney and the estate attorney for a real estate client of mine Deborah hit it out of the park for the rapid and seamless transfer of my dear client's Trust when he suddenly passed a week before settlement of his condo. The condo was in his Trust and I was sure the f...ormalities could not be done in time to close on a wonderful contract for the sale of his condo. In one day Deborah contacted to successor and lined up all the paperwork with her and the settlement company in order for the successor to sign 4 days later. I know without a doubt it would not have happened if not for Deborah's swift actions, excellent knowledge of what to do and desire to get it done for my client. Five stars for sure!!!
