Relationship: Worked together on matter
John was great to work with and I look forward to working with him again. He was collaborative, pragmatic, and highly technical with a high level of common sense.

I've has the pleasure to know John Matson as a personal friend for roughly 15 years. He is now practicing family law in WA, and he has agreed to handle my cases while I'm on vacation. I say this because I greatly value all my family law clients and I wouldn't ask anyone to handle my cases in my absence if I didn't have absolute confidence in their abilities and their desire to do their best for all their clients, including mine. I have no problem recommending John Matson to anyone looking for a smart, articulate, and caring attorney dedicated to achieving the right result for his clients.
