Professional, Proactive, and Knowledgeable

I highly recommend attorney Matthew Johnson to anyone going through a divorce. I had never been through the divorce process before and the circumstances of my case made it additionally challenging. Realizing I needed professional representation, I researched local divorce attorneys and eventually sel...ected attorney Johnson. My divorce was finalized three months ago and I am very satisfied that I chose Matt to represent me. Throughout the process, Matt provided me with detailed explanations and options for each step. He always listened to my concerns and pursued the course of action I selected, even when I chose to go in a direction different than what Matt recommended. I feel Matt represented me professionally in court as well as in his dealings with my ex-wife’s attorney. Although I am still dealing with the emotional fallout from going through the divorce process, I am at peace with the results of the legal process. In addition to the positive experience I had working with Matt, his assistant Sharon was extremely helpful and very caring. Thank you very much Matt and Sharon for helping me through the most difficult and painful experience of my life!!

Helpful

Attorney Johnson was helpful with my divorce and any follow up questions I had after my divorce. I feel my MSA was written a little too specifically, but overall I had a good experience with Attorney Johnson. I would recommend to others going through a Divorce.
