About Matthew
Biography
Matthew G. Matrisciano expertly assists clients with estate planning, revocable living trusts, wills, irrevocable trusts, medical and health care powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, probate and estate administration and trust administration, and other related areas of practice.
To be a successful estate planner, an attorney should behave more like a family consultant and advisor. Matthew Matrisciano wanted to be a planner and consultant for most of his adult life. He worked in real estate briefly during college before deciding to continue his education so he could become a lawyer and learn to provide the best advice to his clients and help them build their legacy. He ultimately graduated with a joint JD/MBA degree from Willamette University and worked for a while in estate planning, nonprofit business planning, and business litigation. He then moved to Bend where he focused on criminal law, estate planning, and probate.
Following his passion for estate planning, he opened MGM Law Firm. There he is excited to apply his knowledge and expertise to a variety of circumstances to help build solutions for clients.
Mr. Matrisciano's estate planning focuses on a holistic approach. What is your unique situation, what suits your needs best, and how can your goals best be accomplished? Everyone wants to be secure knowing that both they and their family will be taken care of according to their wishes in the event of incapacity or death. Mr. Matrisciano understands that communication is key to successful "wealth planning," "legacy planning" or even if you simply want to ensure your health care decisions are followed. His expertise, passion, and understanding help to make him an excellent attorney. To call for a consultation:
