Matthew I. Cooper

Matt was incredible -understood the need for expediancy and anticipated several issues that he dealt with before they could accelerate. He was kind, understanding and very informative. Very detailed. He has a sublte and disarming approach that completely wowed the judge and I could not have asked f...or or received a beter and fairer settlement. He is well respected at the courthouse and he was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I followed her advice and had him handle my case. He and his wonderful Paralegal Benjamin Wocjik are definitely the team to have on your side!

I normally don't do reviews, but this guy deserves a major pat on the back! I was referred to Matt by a high school buddy and my manager at my current job. I was told he was extremely knoweldgable, professional, and local to me in Kirkland. I had a good idea of the potential struggles ahead of m...e, and seeing how I managed to put temporary orders in place without an attorney at all, the war ahead of me I knew would be a tough one. Matt explained the process, what I should and should not do while we were establishing my final permanent parenting plan, and would also remind me when I got down that I have friends and family to "vent" to. He is extremely candid, and if he believes you need to adjust your lifestyle to get what you want, he isn't afraid to tell you. There's something about an attorney that isn't giving you the answers you want to hear, but moreso, what he feels is possible based on the situation. All in all, I ended up getting MORE than what I had asked for. My ex is the every other weekend parent now, and she gets about five weeks during the summer (one week on/one week off arrangement) and I pay NO child support! For a father in Washington state, I did extremely well, and I couldn't of done it without his help. He was very responsive and I felt I could tell him anything, which ultimately paid out in my favor. I HAVE recommended Matt (as well as his paralegal Benjamin Wojcik) and will continue to do so to anyone needing an AWESOME family attorney. I've learned that if you really want to take care of things the right way, sometimes it may cost some money. That isn't to say he is expensive but I previously thought I could make this happen without one. Boy, was I wrong. It took nearly 3 years to finalize my parenting plan, and with Matt's help, we were able to secure it for better than what I had originally asked for in just over a year. He is extremely flexible and is willing to work with you, I would definitely advise an individual with questions around process, your rights, or how you'd like to see your kids more to contacting him! Thank you Matt and Benjamin for everything! David Nakamura Renton, WA 98055
