Ross Michael Matteson

I live out of State and my husband lives in California and filed For dissolution there. I was referred to Matt by a firm in Utah and he was so helpful answering the questions I needed help with and how to proceed from here. He was extremely genuine, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. I would highly rec...ommend Mr. Matteson.

Ask anyone who has had to endure divorce - it is hard. No question. I sought a divorce attorney that I felt would represent my best interests in a professional and thorough manner and interviewed Jim Scott and Scott Matteson. From the start, I felt they were extremely well qualified. Throughout m...y case, we worked together as a collaborative team to reach the best outcome. The entire staff of Scott and Matteson Family Law was excellent and responsive. They have earned my great respect and strongest endorsement.

My name is Paul. Let me tell you my story: I started by representing myself, (cost was a big factor), and my case had gone on for over 3 1/2 years! Having used up a lifetime of my work and resources, she wanted the moon in a short term marriage, that was never there in the first place. And she was ...going to get it! She was smart, and aggressive. While I learned much about family law and was able to help myself through much of the issues and the hearings in my case, it came at a very high price. Lots of time away from work cost me big time. Mistakes I made in early hearings cost me a lot as time went on. One of the hardest things became the incredible stress of accurately preparing the reams and reams of court paperwork necessary to manage the case. While I did learn to do it, I often felt and lived overwhelmed. While I knew and I could converse my case issues well, I realized from the overall struggle of the many previous filings and hearings, the final trial was not something I would be able to negotiate well. There is little wiggle room in the final, "TRIAL SETTING", for inexperience and improper courtroom protocol. The rest of my working wage and life was on the line! I COULD NOT AFFORD TO NOT HAVE A LAWYER! I went to the Law Offices of James C. Scott for consultation and advice. A wise and knowledgeable attorney Mr. James Scott, sat with me in review, and then called in Attorney Ross Matteson. I was soon blown away by Ross’s abilities. I dropped 3 1/2 years of mind blowing paperwork on him, and came back but a few days later. I was actually stunned how quickly Ross came up to speed. He was conversing with me knowledgeably about extensive and minute details of my case, asking questions, and making good points and comments. This was a big relief and put me at ease right away. I needed this! Ross was able to sift the important matters from the non-important ones streamlining my case. Ross put together a winning menu for the trial, filing ALL the documents needed to everyone, all in time for critical approaching deadlines. At trial, Ross was organized, calm, had a plan and he worked it! He communicated with me at every step. In the courtroom he was able to bring reason to bear on an unreasonable situation. Ross effectively executed my case. He was professional, and extremely authoritative in the court room, but never inappropriately so, a perfect balance. Ross won the day and my life back! A+++ for this amazing powerhouse! Thank you Ross Matteson, and the very capable law firm of James C. Scott!!!

I needed help and he was professional and knowledgeable and acted fast to help me get my daughter back within a matter of a couple of days. No one could have got this accomplished faster. He had it prepared and filed the next morning and had a court date the next day. I can't say enough about how ...he responded to the urgency of this matter and knew exactly what needed to be done and got it done as quickly as possible with a highly favorable outcome and I look forward to the next step with much more hope and confidence that the best interest of my daughter will truly be the final outcome in the future court date. On top of the hope having someone like him on your side gives you,Mr Matteson showed much patience and professionalism with me personally and in the courtroom he showed strength and knowledge and the necessary skills for that situation and I highly recommend him for anyone fighting for their child's best interest.
