Great Attorney, Well Respected in the Legal Community

I have worked with hundreds of lawyers in my career, and Deborah Matthews is one of the nicest and warmest people you would ever want to work with. More than nice, she's extremely knowledgeable about probate, and estate planning related topics and is always very responsive to our needs. If we have ...a question, we know that Ms. Matthews will provide us a properly researched and well versed answer. Ms. Matthews is also very well respected among her colleagues as we had worked with some other attorneys in the area, none of whom exuded the kindness of Ms. Matthews or her staff. I would highly recommend working with Ms. Matthews, and encourage you to speak with her about your matter. You will learn, quickly, the same thing that we did, and that is that she really cares. Further, since the time I first hired Ms. Matthews I have have referred several friends and colleagues, and EVERYONE has been happy with her and her staff. We could not be in better hands. Thank you Ms. Matthews for showing us you care.

First rate lawyer in financial and estate planning

Deborah specializes in financial and estate planning area of the law and does it well. Her knowledge of POAs, wills and trusts is extensive. Her office and staff is very professional and moves the process right along. With her work and skills I have all the necessary financial and estate documents... that I need. She brings out issues that I never thought about. I would highly recommend her.

Compassionate and Professional Will, Estate and Trust Lawyer

During my separation and subsequent divorce, I needed a new will and to proactively work on my estate planning. Ms. Matthews' compassion, attention to detail and advocacy were invaluable to me. She quickly and carefully responded to my questions and concerns, handled any issues that arose and profess...ionally prepared the documents I needed as well as setting up my trust. I deeply trust her guidance and recommendations.

Deborah G. Matthews is amazing

I have been working with Deborah Matthews for about 3 years. I am so grateful to have found her. She helped me set up a trust and plan my estate but also gave counsel to me as the co-executor of my parents' estate which was very complicated and painful. She has a wonderful understanding of the law bu...t also handles difficult situations with practical yet compassionate advice. She has been very patient, wise and very fair.

Great work

I have worked with Deborah for nearly 10 years. She first helped me review and re-order my affairs after the death of my husband and then after the death of my mother which left me guardian to my brother who has disabilities and lives in another state with other laws. I found her guidance excellent...--she was able to help me sort through all kinds of questions, both familial and financial. She helped me complete and file all the documents in two states to get the job done. Highly recommended.
