Ecxelente abogado

Es el mejor abogado que pude haber encontrado me ayudó cuando más lo necesitaba en la caso de parenting plan y su asistente siempre disponible y servicial, me mantuvo informada de todo el proceso. Realmente me encantó Estoy satisfactoriamente agradecida por su trato incondicional y profesional.

Professional and excellent service

I felt so lucky that I found Matthew Webbeking when I was frustrated for going through a divorce the first time and not knowing what to do. Matthew is a great attorney as he is very nice, kind and supportive when we discuss about my case. He always gets back to me quickly via email or phone anytime I... have questions or requests. My case is complicated which involves both divorce and immigration, but Matthew always try to think of the best plan that would be most benefit for me in the case and make the process go smoothly. His assistant is also very helpful and polite when we speak on the phone. I highly recommend Lawgena Firm and Matthew for anyone who is going through a stressful divorce and need help.

Excelente abogado

Excelente abogado todo muy bien. Como lo esperaba. Me acompano con la gente de violencia domestica. Su asistente Brenda siempre al pendiente y supo explicarme muy bien las cosas. Estoy muy contenta.

Hire them!

Matthew Webbeking and his Spanish speaking translator/assistant, Carlos Villamayor did a phenomenal job in my very odd, drastic divorce case. They went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. He takes his time, gets to know you, and begins working immediately. They are both very efficient an...d I would hire them again if I had to. Thank you Webbeking and Villamayor for all your hard work. This wasn’t easy but I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

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.
