Handled my bizarre OAG case quickly and efficiently.
I was recommended to Matthew’s firm by a lawyer friend of mine in Houston after I received a letter from the Attorney General claiming I was the parent of a child that was not mine. The child had my last name because at the time of her birth her mother and I were together and I was told the child was mine. Later a DNA test led to me finding out the child was not mine. This led to a parting of ways with the mother and child. Since we had community property we went to court in Harris County. We had a rule 11 which divided our property and stated that the child was not mine and that the mother was to file a change of paternity and new birth certificate. However her lawyer never did this for whatever reason. And my lawyer at the time never followed up either. So fast forward many years and the child is now in her late teens. The mother goes to apply for welfare for the child and before that can happen the state has to track down the child’s father. And the state thought it was me. This was a fine mess indeed. Matthew straightened it out with ease. I recommend him to anyone in Austin having to deal with Texas OAG. Thanks Matthew!
Matthew provided me with excellent advice and support throughout my entire case (divorce). He was prompt in replying to any inquiry I had and stayed on top of everything that needed to be taken care of in a way that expedited my case without incurring a huge legal bill. I would retain his services again if needed and would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice.

Extremely anazing
I don't know how to accurately explain how phenomenally helpful Mathew was during my entire time working with him. At every turn it was obvious how intelligent and well versed he is when it comes to the law. If you need help he's your man.
