Excellent. This laywer is a Winner.

Amazing work. Had a protective order placed against me and this lawyer went out of his way to gather all the information accordingly and his knowledge was shown in court. He won by the way. He listens and cares about people's rights. He is willing to help even the little guy in this big world. Fantas...tic work. I'll use him over and over! Down to earth and always keeps me updated.

Lawyer in your corner!

Matthew Wadsworth was an incredible advocate and resource for me through a very difficult and emotional time. He quickly answered my questions, helped me navigate legal terms and was polite and helpful. He even sent encouragement every so often that kept my mind focused on the bigger picture, not jus...t the legal confusion and fear associated with the process. I really appreciated him and his efforts in retaining my inheritance through a divorce that could have been very ugly. I believe much of the ugliness was averted because of his knowledge of the legal system and his professionalism. I would definitely recommend Mr. Wadsworth!!!

Hardworking Family Law Attorney

Matt is a great attorney to work with. He constantly kept me informed of the progress of my case, and responded to my questions quickly. I feel like he has my best interests in mind, which is refreshing. Cases that involve families (like mine) can be highly emotional, and a lot of sensitive informat...ion needs to be shared, but I never felt uncomfortable with Matt and helped me maintain a level head when things got crazy. I was also impressed at how thorough he was with his research, which ultimately helped me get what I needed from this divorce.

Custody Case

I first met with Matt on a Friday (which was on short notice) and I had a court hearing on my custody case on the next Wednesday in Salt Lake City. Matt took the time to listen and look at my case on the court's website and gave me answers and possible solutions to my court hearing. He gave me advice... as if I could represent myself. I hired Matt that day and he helped me at my court hearing and for the rest of my case. If I encounter future problems (which I am sure I will) I will be contacting Matt.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
