AWESOME!!

Matt Cadwell is AWESOME!!! Matt Cadwell, and the entire staff at Boyd law, gave me reasons to believe that lawyers are not money suckers. In my experience, Matt has proven that the team at Boyd Law actually cares and thinks about their clients first. Divorce is one of the most stressful things a ...person can go through. Matt was right there with me every step of the way. His commitment to my case give me the courage to fight for what is rightfully mine and not be taken advantage of. He is the most kindest, supportive, easy to talk to attorney I've ever met. He attended court with me on several occasions throughout my long complicated divorce and won some unthinkable hearings. I am very grateful for all the help and support Matt provided me and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

Extremely Thankful - Dissolution

It has been an amazing experience in what could be the most stressful time in someone's life. I'm extremely lucky to have worked with such an amazing group of professionals who were supportive, caring and treated me with the utmost respect. Matt Cadwell (Managing Attorney), Maggie, Susana, Ashley, Ri...chard and Kimberly were amazing (there are probably a few others that have helped - it felt like I had the entire firm on my side)! They were relentless (in a good way) and kept me aware of what was going on with my case at my pace. They were extremely responsive to any questions I had. Matt was an amazing individual - he truly tried to keep my options open and gave me different routes we could take - balancing financial and time concerns. He never quit and always had a plan in place if certain avenues didn't pan out - this was a very intricate dissolution. I'm fortunate that we were able to get a resolution and it was worth the time and investment. Overall I’m very thankful for all of everyone's efforts - especially Matt's. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs legal support!

Matt Cadwell is an attorney you need!

I never imagined having to fight for my kids. We always said it would never happen. Well my ex banked on the fact that I would not be able to fight. I almost couldn't until I found Matt Cadwell. As an attorney Matt went above and beyond to help me and my children. As a human being he understood my po...sition and took all necessary stes to make sure my case was heard and my needs were met. Listening to all my concerns, wants and needs, Matt developed a strategy that proved to be successful. While preparing for trial, Matt gave me the opportunity to read and review all questions and gave me an opportunity to insert questions of my own while constantly reminding me that this was all up to me and he would do whatever I wanted. He showed concern for my well being each and every step of the grueling court process. Matt is not only smart and professional, he has a heart and understands his clients needs. This was not easy, but Matt prevailed and the judge had no choice but to make a decision in my favor. Each time I was nervous or scared, Matt was able to calm me down by reminding me that being nervous was good because I cared. He cared too. Whether I needed help with emails or understanding procedures, Matt made sure I understood. He fought hard and spent countless hours preparing himself and me for trial. I would recommend Matt Cadwell to anyone that should find themselves in need of services through such a difficult time in life. Trust me. I had to interview several attprneys after firing the first one I had. Matt is honest, dependable and will work extremely hard for each of his clients. If you found yourself on this page because you need someone to fight for you, Matt is the fuy you want and need to stand with you and fight for you.

Best I've ever worked with.

Matt Cadwell is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He: - Listened attentively. - Provided strong strategic thinking. - Communicated well with an experienced understanding of the law. - Was always reliable and dependable. - Was incredibly responsive to my messages and delivered fast... turn around times on any edits or questions. - Was very thorough, answering every single question I had. - Produced top quality work. I've worked with several attorneys over the years on various matters, and Mr. Cadwell was easily the best lawyer I've ever worked with. I highly recommend him. I wish every lawyer was this good.

Excellent Experience

Divorce is never a journey you want to experience and so having a lawyer who helps you understand the process, stays on top of it and gets it done is such a blessing. I truly appreciate everything Matt did for me during this challenging time in my life. He did an excellent job and also help me keep... my own confidence up that I could get through it. I would recommend him to everyone.
