Caryn and Teresa have been there for our family on several occasions for custody and adoption matters. They are top notch! Thank you, Caryn!

Mrs. VanMatre was kind enough to talk to me after my boyfriend/significant other referred me to her via his father who is also an attorney in Milton. Unfortunately, his father doesn’t like me very much, so I was a little hesitant going into this conversation, but my significant other assured me that ...

I hired her because I needed help with my case, but the communication between myself and her and her assistant was never clear. They could never give me a direct answer, very frustrating. I regret hiring her in the first place. It's a 50/50 chance with this one, from looking at her reviews most peopl...
This is a tough one. I am unable to respond because I do not know what type of matter this is or when we represented this client. But, regardless of those unknowns, it is NEVER acceptable that a client feels unclear in communications. I would say that clients are able to get in touch directly with me in a few different ways. First, I am always available for in person meetings. With that said, an appointment is usually the best approach. With an appointment, I am able to set aside time to specifically focus on the client's concerns, without interruption, and give them the attention that they need. Second, I am available for telephone appointment, if a client is unable to meet in person, or if the time needed does not justify a trip to the office. Again, this is generally best by appointment, for the reasons I mentioned previously. Third, I am available by email. All of my client's are given my direct email address. I have the email forwarded to my personal devices, and it is not at all unusual for me to respond to a client's concerns after the office has closed. For this particular past client, I would welcome the chance to speak with you to hear about your experience and see if there is any way to make it right by you. The positive reviews I receive from clients are always appreciated, but the dissatisfied clients stay on my mind. I want to give each case my best. Sometimes, unfortunately, I miss the mark. Again, please feel free to contact me to discuss. And, thank you for the time you took to post a review.

Ms. Van Matre and her Legal Secretary handled all of our questions and concerns very quickly. She also treated my daughter with respect and seemed to speak to her from the heart. We are very happy with the services that were provided and highly recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney who is ca...

I consulted with Caryn on the process for a divorce. She was friendly and informative, and also provided a cost estimate. She explained each step that would take place, and approximately how long it would take in a conversational, yet professional manner.
Thank you very much for taking the time to post a positive comment! It means more than you know.
"Karyn and I have had several hottly contested cases together and I can attest that she is a practiced, experienced, and fierce opponent. She's a great attorney."
"I have worked with Caryn many times over the past 15 years. She is both competent and pragmatic. She works as a problem solver and she returns my telephone calls which is always the first step to avoiding needless litigation. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mrs. Van Matre for nearly 20 years as a fellow attorney in the practice of Family Law. I am now a Family law Mediator, and mediated many cases for Mrs. Van Matre. She is an excellent attorney, well versed in the law, always prepared to represent her client vigorously and reasonably. I would recommend Mrs. Van Matre to represent any member of my family."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have litigated multiple cases against this lawyer in the past. She does a good job of zealously advocating for her clients and recognizing where common ground can be reached for settling matters when appropriate."
