Superb Trust Attorney

Rebecca Matthias was referred to me by a trusted colleague. She is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. My Trust was created at a time of deep personal family loss (2 losses in one week). She is compassionate and helped me by posing very excellent questions and possible solutions/recommendati...ons. The entire process was efficient, organized and her communications were clear and timely. I would (and have) recommended her to all of my friends and colleagues.

Estate and Trust Planning Attorney

Rebecca Matthias provided careful, considerate advice to my wife and I in the development of our Revocable Trust paperwork. She went beyond any expectations that we may have had in this process as we were encouraged to prepare this very important paperwork to protect our family heirs and our assets d...uring the life changing events of one or both of us passing away. She was very helpful and courteous to our requests and needs. Her trust book and electronic file are in a very safe place in our hope. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trust and probate services. Peter & Priscilla R.

Exceptional Experience

Rebecca Matthias made the entire process of creating a living trust easy and comfortable. She is conscientious and thorough. She was patient with us and made sure we understood each step of the process, encouraging us to ask questions and feel confident with the outcome. We have every trust in her a...s an attorney and with her professionalism. Beyond that, she is a truly lovely and genuine person, and it is a privilege to entrust Rebecca with our most important matters.

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.
