Recommendation 100%

I cannot say enough about Mr. Tabo. Having found myself in need of a criminal defense attorney, I retained him and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. Mr. Tabo is a skilled attorney who advocates for his clients. Not only is he a great communicator and a great listener, he also is very responsi...ve and available to his clients every step of the way. He and his staff work diligently, provide top notch service and were able to give me peace of mind while I was going through the legal process. He successfully defended me and provided the best possible outcome for my situation and even educated me about my rights. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal advice and/or representation. I can’t thank you enough Mr. Tabo.

Child Custody Trial

I don't even have the words to describe the amount of credit Matthew and Nicole deserve. Not everyone can be a trial attorney, but Matthew is this, and much more. If you're going through one of the most stressful times of your life and you happen to be reading this, please save yourself the sufferi...ng and hire Matthew. I can't explain how many consultations, hours and days of research on top firms/attorneys ranging all over Northern California, etc.. As soon as I met Matthew I knew he was the right attorney to represent my son and I. You can be rest assured he will give you 150%. There is something to be said about an attorney who can multi-task, especially during trial. (Ex: Examining the Judge, listening to opposing counsel, taking notes and adjusting direct/cross examinations all at once.) Mr. Tabo takes it to another level. He knows the law (which trust me.. not all attorneys do.), he knows what is attainable in each situation. Not to mention Matthew was one step ahead (more like 5 steps ahead) during the duration of our two day trial, regarding child custody. Always on time, organized and ready to go. Thank you thank you thank you... I owe everything to Mr. Tabo and his assistant, Nicole. Would I recommend this attorney? Yes, to every person I know.

Excellent Attorney!

I contacted Attorney Tabo for my divorce proceedings. Through the process, both him and his assistant, Nicole, have been very helpful, responsive and professional. Attorney Tabo is knowledgeable, honest, and I believe he used his best judgement in my case. It is clear how passionate he is about his w...ork, which was refreshing for me in my search for the right attorney. You will not be disappointed if you hire him - he will work hard to get whats best for you!

Child Custody

Matt and Nicole represented our family to the best we could've ever hoped for in our custody case. Our family is forever grateful for the outstanding work. Choosing a lawyer is like choosing a mechanic and it really is just being lucky. I'm not the biggest believer in reviews as many of them can be f...ake but this one I assure you is for real! We were in court way longer than I'd ever imagined and I can't say enough how lucky we were to make the choice we did. It's easy to get mad at your lawyer when everything didn't go the way we wanted but he was extremely professional and always spoke with the utmost respect and understanding. I probably wrote way to many emotionally based emails while going through what were but at the end of the day, the result was everything we ever hoped for! Thanks Matt and Nicole!!! I would definitely recommend and your odds will be good!
