Gail liberated my family from fear

What Gail did for our family has transformed our life entirely. My partner and I were living in a world controlled by someone else which was extremely tumultuous causing problems throughout our lives and in our relationship. He was wary of seeking custody after a court letdown years earlier, being th...e father in a mother’s state, amongst other anxieties that kept us living in fear. It was during the first minutes upon meeting Gail that he decided to hire her after she assured us that we could get exactly what we deserved, more even. Gail is an incredible, stellar attorney. She worked hard for me, my family, and my daughter so that we could finally have the life together that we all, especially our child, deserve. Gail was consistently available and responsive when we had questions or concerns, and the process moved very swiftly. She was honest about expectations moving through the courts and her wealth of knowledge was invaluable in our case. We started off small, building our case on our own. Then we met Gail and she said, “let’s go big; we can do it.” We were awarded 50/50 custody and are currently thriving. We have our daughter on a consistent schedule with alternating holidays and she has never been happier. What could have been a long and strenuous experience, Gail turned it into quick work. I believe that she was the exact person we needed to give us the hope we were desperate for. Both myself and my partner are so deeply thankful for her dedication and passion for her work. Gail, you have changed the path of our future and we thank you so much! If you are a person feeling defeated, helpless, or afraid about your child’s welfare I would say this; you do not know what you do not know. Gail dashed my partner’s fears away in one swipe with her confidence and experience. I would absolutely recommend Gail Mattey to anyone I met who needed a family lawyer.

Life Changer

I consulted with Gail and referred a close friend of mine to her. She was not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also had an energy and passion that really impressed me. In a short amount of time (6 weeks) she was able to not only provide my friend hope - when he had given up - but also change...d his entire life. My friend expressed to me that he felt like someone finally cared, listened and actually represented him and his wishes (rights), as he had been through this before and felt as if he were left high and dry, to represent himself in matters he was not experienced in. What Gail was able to do in a such a short period of time, feels like nothing short of a miracle. To hear my friend sharing about his newly granted parenting time, and the FAIR order of child support, it truly has been amazing and heart-warming. I now recommend anyone I meet that is needing advice or representation in Family Law matters to Mattey Family Law. She is a Miracle-Worker and I thank her from the bottom of my heart! She is amazing!
