Matthew Towson

Retaining Matt Towson as my divorce attorney was a significant mistake. His primary focus is billing, not client advocacy or case management. From the outset, he demonstrated a lack of professionalism and organization. He does not meet clients in person, instead opting for hurried phone calls that of...ten seem distracted and unprepared. A critical failure occurred when he neglected to confirm whether my ex had been served—a fundamental responsibility that went unchecked for over a month. This negligence only came to light when I followed up. Additionally, he repeatedly scheduled meetings he failed to attend and was unresponsive to emails and case inquiries. Most concerning, he engaged in discussions with opposing counsel that undermined attorney-client privilege, failed to present structured legal arguments, and did not advocate for my interests in settlement negotiations. His billing practices are equally troubling. He invoices for work that was never completed and only provides statements monthly rather than biweekly, obscuring accountability. His office staff is ineffective, and the answering service is unhelpful. Upon termination, he hastily compiled an unorganized Dropbox folder, which contained none of the necessary case documents. It was only after I fired him that he became responsive—reaching out repeatedly to inquire about my next legal representation. Despite billing me for services he did not provide, he refuses to issue a refund, prompting me to pursue legal action. Going through a divorce is emotionally and mentally exhausting; the last thing anyone needs is an attorney who is disengaged, disorganized, and solely focused on billing rather than advocacy. I strongly caution against retaining Matt Towson. His conduct is not only unprofessional but detrimental to clients who rely on competent legal representation during one of the most challenging times of their lives. I can not recommend Matt Towson, I urge you to check references.
