My two sons were subjected to emotional and physical abuse by their mother and her boyfriend while living with them in California. I live in Chicago and had one son who stayed to live with me. For 1.5 years I was unable to contact nor visit with the second son who remained with his mother in Californ...ia. Mattis Law drafted a perfect filing for our case presentation, including statements written and executed by my wife's father, step mother and sister which resulted in my Illinois son continuing to reside with me and a court ordered visitation for the son living in California. Amelia Mattis is organized, intelligent, poised and calm even when opposing counsel's behavior was obnoxious. Her suggestions to me for preparation of the court ordered mediation were perfect and kept me from falling into the traps being set by my ex-spouse. The office staff of Cassidy and Cheyenne were superb and I truly felt that we were a team united for the same goal. Mattis Law was the last of four law firms I interviewed for this important work. I wish I had found them first. They are brilliant, organized and stay on task by not participating in petty details. Look for Mattis Law on the list of California's Best Attorneys for many decades to come for they truly deserve this designation. Bravo!

Amelia is walks into court cute as a button, but every word out of her mouth is so precise, factual, and loaded with information. When she speaks, she does it in a way that settles all the dust and allows her verbal argument and points to be not only heard but received. She is smart as a whip, knows ...her stuff like the back of her hand, will work with you to get what you want but won’t lead you astray if she doesn’t think it’s doable. She’s compassionate, professional, and will absolutely work wonders for you. Highly recommend! Unlike a lot of attorneys, she will advocate hard for you and your children, but without bringing the drama, antagonism and inflammatory/smear campaign into the mix. Her office staff is wonderful too. Cassidy has been so helpful in getting communications to and from myself and anyone else who needs to be looped in. So, so thankful for Mattis Law. This is the first time in my 4 year custody case that I’ve felt like I was in good hands and feel some sort of comfort.

I retained Ms. Mattis for a very difficult move-away case when my ex-spouse requested full custody to take our daughter out of the country for several years. She knew exactly how to handle my case, was caring and kind, and VERY knowledgeable. Furthermore, Ms. Mattis was able to look at our case in ...a manner that was in the best interest of our daughter, kept me on track with what I felt were the most important aspects, and we collaborated on numerous strategies - resulting in a successful win for us! I cannot thank her enough.
