Honest, straightforward, and great communication!

I hired Matthew Tabo for a legal case in regards to a Spousal Support buyout that my ex husband initiated. I was thoroughly impressed with Matthew's knowledge and communication during this time. I appreciated his honesty regarding items that may come about if my case entered into litigation. We do...n't always want to hear the reality that anything can happen in litigation. Matthew explained in detail the potential downfalls in a way that allowed me to really weigh my decisions moving forward. I felt heard and understood by Matthew at all times which is very important in hiring an attorney. Due to Matthew's articulation of my situation and negotiating skills, using pinpointed facts in communication with opposing council, the case ended in my favor and I'm extremely grateful! I wish I would have hired him when I first divorced!!! (Mason and the rest of the staff were also very helpful during this difficult time)

Excellent lawyer!

I have worked with Matthew on several cases- a prenup for me, a divorce, and then a protective order for my family. Each case Matthew took seriously, was timely in his responses, and also cared about me as a client knowing my cases were difficult. Really appreciate working with him!

One of the best lawyers I ever seen!!!

I looked for a good attorney for a while. Everyone I met with had that slick-talking, false bravado as if they could get me the world, just to get my business. I saw right through them quickly and continued looking. Since day one Mr. Tabo has been very professional and knowledgeable. You know what ty...pe of service you will get from him within a few minutes of meeting him. He is very hands-on, responds to all of my requests and updates me on everything that goes on in my case, and is very affordable. Because of his hard work and dedication, I received more than I expected out of my divorce. I recommend anyone that's looking for the best divorce attorney in the area, make sure you give this one a call first. You can thank me later.

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!
