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.

Divorce case

Matthew and his team have been helping me with my case. He has been very ethic and supportive, and always giving excellent advice, and trying to keep the costs low, which is rare from what I've heard from people that have gone through divorces with other lawyers in the past. I've asked Matthew to wit...hdrew from the case initially because I was getting an agreement with my ex wife but she changed her mind almost at the end of the process and Matthew and his team took the case again and helped me to get the best outcome possible with a low cost. I'd definitely consider and recommend working with Matthew again.

Divorce

I was getting a divorce for the first time, scared and not knowing what to do or where to go, I was able to find Matt. The best decision I ever made! I met with him and he showed compassion with my situation and laid out a plan to make this a smooth process. Absolutely delivered!! Sara was awesome th...rough the whole process, keeping me updated along the way! I would highly recommend Matt to anyone needing legal assistance! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!!
