Terrible communication and ignores you

Terrible communication and ignores you. Don’t waste your time on someone who clearly doesn’t care about your problems.

Highly Recommended!

I hired Winston earlier this year as my attorney in my Family Law case, specifically my divorce. He was professional, but kind, and responded to what felt like 1000 of my questions promptly and thoroughly. Winston had lots of great advice, but made it clear from the start that I was in control. He wa...s positive and courteous, but was also very realistic about his expectations for the case. His advice and knowledge helped ground me in a time when I felt ignorant and confused. I would highly recommend his services to friends and family in the future!

This was my first time needing legal assistance. Winston listened. He was always professional and was very good at communicating via email. He kept me in the loop as to when he was available and what next steps would be taken. His rate is very reasonable. I would rehire him.

Job well done!

Winston guided our family through probate after our parents passed away. He was professional, and gave us fantastic legal insight during a difficult time. It was reassuring to know we had representation who knew how to lead us through the process. We highly recommend Winston, and would not hesitate w...orking with him again. Thank you Winston.

Most relatable attorney I have worked with

Winston Matthews made every effort to completely understand me, as well as the complex personal and legal situation presented by my ex-wife. Winston always laid all the legal facts before me making sure I understood the realities, and he did so with consistent empathy and compassion. Winston truly he...lped me to organize my emotionally-charged thinking to lay the basis for a negotiated settlement. Inasmuch as my case involved both Washington and an out-of-state court, Winston was instrumental in helping me secure similar highly competent out-of-state representation as well. The ultimate result was a successful negotiated settlement ratified in both states, and the successful end to my recurring domestic relations nightmare. I now have my life back and it would not be so without the dedication Winston Matthews gave to my case. Mr. Matthews (and his firm) get my highest and most sincere recommendation
