Gail Elise Mattey

Gail Mattey is very professional, dedicated, passionate about her career and who genuinely cares about her client. She took over my divorce & OFP case for free but yet fought with the voracity of a client worth billions. She educated me on what we should expect, the likely outcome would be and them s...he achieved it. When my kids dad serviced me an OFP, Gail, would be up late at 10pm working on my case. She would call be least everyday, she is very good with communications and updates. Gail is very organized, assertive, goal oriented and fearless. I am very pleased, happy and proud of you. God bless you for fighting for me and reunifying me and my children. You are absolutely the best.

Gail is very compassionate, knowledgeable, and efficient. I was very lucky to have Gail. It was a very difficult time for me to have a divorce and I needed it completed very quickly. With her many wonderful qualities as a person and lawyer she got me to the other side. She will always hold a special ...place in my heart. I highly recommend Gail.

When looking for a lawyer to help in getting what you deserve throughout a stressful process Gail is the one. I felt heard and I felt that there were moments that I wanted to have a say and I was able to do just that. Gail is reasonable with a team approach including the client in the decision maki...ng and then executing what needs to be done!

Ms Mattey presents herself as a knowledgeable and successful family attorney, who is passionate about doing her profession well; however, it is not the case, when you hire her. We have hired her for a custody case that she brutally failed to win with her neglectful approach, blasé attitude, and unpro...fessional/unethical behavior. She had caused grave emotional and mental stress both to my child and myself. In sum, her 'professionalism' manifested itself in her constantly and repeatedly being late or leaving for a couple of hours in the middle of the meeting, not preparing or serving documents on time, not answering calls, messages, or emails, showing up ill-prepared, or in sweat pants ... and the list can go on. She always came up with an excuse over and over again. 99% of the work that she was supposed to complete and perform was done by me, not by her. I am not sure how she could get her degree in law. She has jeopardized my child's and my mental and emotional health by neglecting basic communication. At the custody hearing, it was so obvious that she had no idea, what she was presenting to the Judge. SHE LOST my case, trust and our hope in the legal system and justice. She is absolutely unfit to present her clients' best interests, because she doesn't care. Don't hire her or check in with the Bar to check her credentials and success rate in legal presentation.

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.
