Excellent family attorney

Attorney Webbeking was really helpful throughout my whole case. Him having a bilingual assistant helped me out a lot since English is not my first language. Not only is Attorney Webbeking a very respectful and professional attorney but he goes above and beyond for his clients. I would undoubtedly rec...ommend him to any person looking for a family attorney.

Great experience

I highly recommend hiring Matthew Webbeking + the Lawgena firm. This is the second time I have had to hire Matthew. I feel confident in his guidance, advise, and expertise. Let me start by saying I have never wanted to be in family court. My daughter's father has taken me to court for child support... (2x), and custody. He failed. Not only is my ex bitter and antagonistic, he is also extremely reckless. He falsified documents to hide his money, and lied in court. With the help of Matthew, we were able to show the court these discrepancies and have the case cancelled. Although difficult, I wanted to be sensitive to his mental health struggles, and try to retain some sort of copacetic relationship, for the sake of our daughter. Matthew has always understood this and advises me as such. I have always felt very informed on my options and choices, and have never felt pressured. Matthew, as well as Sara, have been great communicators. Matthew takes the time to explain to me all possible outcomes and scenarios, and Sara is very prompt with her replies. Every time a motion has been brought against me, I have won. I credit a lot of this to Matthew.

EXCELLENT Family Law Attorney

Matthew and Sara are amazing!! By far the best team I have ever seen. After speaking with Matthew back in May 2017, I told him what I am looking for (child visitation and partial custody) and that I live in CA and my child lives in WA. He informed me that he has done several cases like mine before an...d said that my requests were reasonable and that the case should be pretty easy and straightforward. Oh my how we were wrong haha. My ex decided to fight us hard. But Matthew kept his word and fought (and continuing to fight) hard for my case. Everything that he said he would do, he has done. His assistant Sara has been amazing in keeping me updated with emails and phone calls. His rates are VERY reasonable and he is completely honest! I am very happy with Matthew and Sara. HIGHLY recommend them for any Family Court case.

An excellent attorney

Matthew Webbeking has helped me out tremendously. He is a great attorney. I was in California on vacations and I called him because my child father's was trying to accuse me of kidnapping our daughter. The attorney helped me out to go to the court house and get all the documents that my ex had... already filed. My ex was requesting full custody of our child, and thank to Attorney Webbeking, the court did not grant it. I would highly recommend him, and every chance I get I tell people to go to him

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
