Job well done
I cant say enough about Ms. Dene Matthews. She was very knowledgeable, consistent, diligent, well organized, and professional. She made me aware of what to expect in a case such as mine. Her expertise in family law helped me through a difficult situation. I'm grateful for her services. I couldn't have asked for anything more than what she offered. I will recommend her to anyone in need of family law services.

Ms. Matthews is Amazing! I was referred to Ms. Matthews after speaking with an old friend about my upcoming court case. In my situation, my childs father was taking me to court for custody of our son. After corresponding with Ms. Matthews through a few emails about my situation, I had total confidence in her that she would give it her all in my custody battle against my sons father. Not only is she genuine, and caring, but you can truly get a sense that she has a love and passion for family law. Ms. Matthews is confident, and was a strong advocate for me as her client. In addition, she was expeditious in her efforts to respond and communicate with me. I never felt alone, and she always kept me up to date on my case and her progress no matter how minute the detail. She won my case, and there are no words to express my gratitude for her services. Although she won my case, it did not end there. Ms. Matthews followed up to check and see how I was doing two weeks later. It feels great to know that I was not just another court case or client. Ms. Matthews is a beautiful person inside and out!

An Outstanding Attorney
Dene Matthews is a very outgoing, dedicated and dependable attorney who takes all steps possible to ensure the best outcome for her clients. She is very determined to do whatever it takes to keep her clients satisfied. She is really awesome and amazing. She is currently working on my child custody case that was actually closed, but as the hard striving attorney she is she made sure my case got accepted to be retried properly. She has moved quickly to handle all issues and concerns for my case. It took her no time to get me a court date. She is truly the best. I would recommend her any day to anyone in need of a great family law attorney. I definitely look forward to working with her again if need be in the future.

Good Attorney
Mrs. Matthews is a very knowledgeable and personable attorney. She handled my child custody case and I was always aware of what was happening with my case. I highly recommend Mrs. Matthews because she is easy to talk to and really cares about the clients she serves.

She's a great lawyer
She was very professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me up-to-date on my child custody case. She is one of those lawyers you feel like you're in good hands and not just doing it for the money. The only thing I didn't like is the fact she closes at 3pm on Fridays instead of 5pm, so if you have a question for her you better call on your lunch break. I would highly recommend her.
