My thanks to Matthew Briggs

Matthew Briggs is a respectable lawyer building a solid practice in Marin. I got in contact with Matthew after attempting to resolve my custody issue for more than two years talking with my ex and several rounds of mediation. It had been extremely difficult and I was discouraged, stressed, financia...lly strained, and more afraid than I can summarize. Matthew was honest, professional, and kind. He got to know my situation thoroughly, let me know my options and possible outcomes, and never made unrealistic promises. The process was very hard work and included a full court trial. Matt guided me through every facet with confidence and skill. He comes from a place of thorough knowledge of Family Law, and is not fast talking or grandiose. Matt returned my calls and emails in a timely manner, set realistic goals, and his guidance gave me a sense of calm through the most tumultuous experience of my life. I am relieved with the outcome that Matthew advocated for on my behalf. He truly believed in me and my family. Prior to meeting Matt I felt despair about the future of my relationship with my daughter. I am more than thankful for his support, and it has brightened my future.
