About Matthew
Biography
I started a law firm called Good Life Legal. We are a little different and here is how:
1) We use fixed fees. That means we tell you exactly what you will pay us upfront. Most other lawyers bill by the hour. Would you hire someone to build a house and pay them by the hour? We wouldn't either. How do you know if you are getting a good value if you don't know the cost?
2) We only take a limited number of clients per attorney. Many attorneys just take every client who comes through the door and then struggle to help them all. We limit the number we take so that we will have enough time to help each of our clients.
3) We focus on Divorce-Related Family Law. When attorneys practice in multiple disciplines, their attention is split. We do our best to focus on just one thing, Divorce-Related Family Law.
If you have questions, I hope you will call me. I want to help you in any way that I can. If you have questions on your mind, get them answered and you will start to feel better.

Smooth, easy process
I used Matthew to clear up some confusion with a credit card company. Best decision I ever made! Matt keeps the process simple and clean and made sure I understood the process from beginning to end!
