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 hav...e asked for anything more than what she offered. I will recommend her to anyone in need of family law services.

Defendant

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 confid...ence 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!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
