Understood challenges of the military

I hired Matthew Knox to handle my divorce while stationed in Japan. My case began as a simple divorce and property distribution but later changed to a custody case for my daughter. He quickly changed strategies and developed a plan in which he advised me on actions I needed to take while in Japan and... when appearing in court in Houston for the custody hearing. His excellent planning and coordination worked out in my favor and resulted in my daughter returning to Japan. Matthew understood the challenging aspects of military life overseas. He kept me updated on every change during my case and ensured he was available for me to contact him on the phone, even with the 13 hour time difference. His professionalism, knowledge, and compassion kept me calm and hopeful during this emotional and challenging period in my life. I made the right decision when I hired Matthew Knox to represent me, and I would recommend him to anyone in the military who needs a fighter on their side. Overall Rating: Excellent Trustworthy Excellent Responsive Excellent, knowledgeable Excellent Kept me informed Excellent. I recommend Matthew Knox. I hired Matthew 1-3 years ago. Matthew handled my Divorce & Child Custody matter.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

I was referred to Laura Dale & Associates by a friend and decided to have them represent me in an international divorce and custody agreement. After meeting with Laura, who is a gem by the way, Matt Knox was assigned my case. Matt genuinely cares about his clients well-being and effectively par...tnered with me in order to complete the process in the most expedient manner possible. He always maintained the highest level of professionalism and even complimented my cynical attitude at times with a bit of humor himself. If you need an attorney that will be transparent, honest and trustworthy, then you need Matt Knox representing you. I can in good faith highly recommend Matt and his colleagues at Laura Dales & Associates.
