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.

Best experience!

I had my son at young age with a man whose presence has been inconsistent for the last six years. When he served me for half custody I was extremely stressed out because I've heard horror stories about custody battles. I had less than two weeks to get a lawyer and was referred to Mathew by my best fr...iend. I left a message and received a callback within 30 minutes by his wonderful assistant who was very understanding of urgency of my situation. When I met with Matthew, I was frustrated and upset but he was very empathetic and patient with me. On my court date, I was shocked at how smooth and quick the entire process went. Needless to say, I left the court with everything I hoped for. I highly recommend Mathew and his team!

Top notch

Matthew did an incredible job on my case. This was the second go around for me with my parenting plan and things had not been going well. He was there every step of the way and worked deligently to get my child back in the state and back with me. He was also very reasonable financially throughout t...he whole process. His assistant Ana was also very thorough and was always willing to answer any questions I ever had.

Excellent service

My divorce case was a very hard case, because I only had a few days to find and hire an Attorney.  Fortunately, Attorney Webbeking was able to take my case only two days before my Response with the court was due.  At the hearing, he defended me and the commissioner approved basically everything that ...I had requested, even though my ex-wife was accusing me of things I hadn’t done, and was also requesting a restriction order against me.  Thank to Attorney Webbeking, the court dismissed the Restriction order and accepted my Proposed Temporary Parenting Plan, and also ordered fair Child Support.  Now, the biggest problem of my divorce is over and I am able to enjoy my time with my children.

Fantastic Lawyer- Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Matthew Webbeking, and the entire Lawgena team, enough. I hired Matthew for temporary custody and temporary support. From beginning to end, Matthew was extremely efficient and professional. Considering this was my first experience with the court system, I was terrified, to say th...e least. I was terrified to put the fate of my child into the hands of unknown people, and a system that I didn't always believe in. Matthew was incredibly informative, prompt with responding, always willing to answer my questions (and I had LOTS), and made sure I was completely prepared for my case. Matthew made sure my goals were realistic, gave me a very clear idea of what to expect, and stood by my side the entire time. Not only did Matthew fight for me to get what I wanted, he fought for me to get more. He got me what I deserved. As a mother, the well being of my child is not something I take lightly. In fact, allowing someone else to take the reigns and fight for my child, the way I would fight, is not something I thought I would ever do. But I put all my faith in Matthew, and I have never regretted it. I cannot thank Matthew, Maria, and the entire Lawgena staff enough!!
