Effective representation and reasonable prices. My firm handles divorce, same-sex and unmarried couples, child support and custody. Domestic Violence. Landlord/tenant.
My philosophy is to find the quickest route to a fair solution. I try to advise my clients on the realities of their situation, agree on an outcome they will be satisfied with, and then work hard to get that result for them.
I have a pretty wide life background that I think adds value to my representation of clients. I have built fences, worked in mills, trained horses, been a hospital radiation safety technician, delivered coffee and doughnuts, taught computer programing in a community college, and managed construction of a detector system with an 80-ton magnet, a complex vacuum system, miles of cables and hundreds of electronics channels, among others. I received my JD from Lewis and Clark Law School in 2009 and opened my practice in 2010.

My boyfriend and I had been unsure of our tenants rights as we sort of "fell between the cracks". Not roommates anymore, so are we boarders? Tenants? Mr. Matthews helped immensely in putting us in the right track. Just a brief online consultation helped us to relax a bit and prepare for when we may n...
