Matthew Clay Bishop

If you need to go to court, this is the guy you want on your side. He prepares meticulously and does not enter a courtroom to LOSE. Don't let his laid-back demeanor fool you—he is wicked smart, an absolute powerhouse, and more than professional in the courtroom. I would 100 percent never want to ...be opposing him in court, that's for sure. When I was facing the prospect of needing a family law attorney, I had no idea where to start in this highly stressful and emotional time. I was lucky enough to be familiar with two Napa Sheriff court bailiffs. These gentlemen both referred me to Matt Bishop. One told me that if he ever had to sit on the other side of the table, the only person he would want in his corner was Matt Bishop. I ended up needing Matt Bishop more than I ever realized. I was facing a separation. This turned into a muliti year high conflict divorce with complex asset division, business issues, child custody, child support, a move away request, mediation, custody evaluation, private mediation, therapists, guardian ad litem, supervised visitation, high asset property sales, criminal court dealings, restraining orders, depositions, multiple hearings and domestic violence issues. He was the rock and advocate I needed in my corner. He kept myself, my children, and our assets safe. He speaks plainly and maintains honesty, telling you the hard truths you need to hear. Anytime a complex asset division, legal hurdle, or business issue arises where he doesn't immediately know the answer, he finds the professional needed to advise and get the job done. His billing is fair, and he is a man of deep integrity who truly helps people. I have since confidently referred him to others for both family and business matters, and he has helped them to complete satisfaction as well. He gave me my peace of mind at every turn. If you need to go to court, this is the guy you want on your side.
