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!

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.

Diligent in his efforts

I highly recommend Winston Matthews. He represented me on an insurance claim dispute. He is knowledgeable and diligent in his efforts. My claim was complex, but Winston muscled through it and really seemed to understand the nature of my claim and the goals. He is responsive. He returns calls promptly.... He is vigilant, keenly watchful of what the insurance company was trying to pull and called them on it. He put a stop to the game playing before they even got started. I will continue to call on Winston for any legal needs, should they arise. Very impressed with him as an attorney and happy with the outcome of my case.

How an Attorney should be

I cannot say enough good things about Winston. When going about the process of hiring an attorney it can be quite draining. I had already been turned down by two other firms prior to meeting with Winston. By the time we met I was frustrated and emotionally spent. The other attornies I met with seem...ed very professional and knowledgeable and probably would have done an adequate job on my case, but I felt like, as they listened to me describe my case, they were only crunching numbers to see if it would be worth there time. I never felt as if they were engaged in my story and the effect it was having on me and my career. I felt like a number. During my first meeting with Winston I immediately felt very comfortable. He was very engaged with me, listened intently and by his questions I could tell I had come to the right place. We worked together for over three years on my case. My calls were always promptly returned, any new information was passed on to me quickly. He never did anything unilaterally, always consulted me on things that were of importance. I felt like a part of the team and was never made to feel dumb. I felt he really cared about me and not just about the amount of money he would make. The case was researched and handled so well that we never went to trial and both sides walked away with a fair result. I cannot thank him enough for helping to restore my dignity and my life.
