Very disappointing
Simple she hasn't helped me whatsoever in my case. Doesn't do the things I asked her to do just does what she wants to do. Even including moving a trial date without even asking me or telling me about it. Enough said.

Dreadful Experience
Absolutely dreadful experience with my divorce. I was referred to her by a family member and had high expectations. There was rarely any communication. I set my expectations upfront and never did I see or hear anything communicated about my requests or what I wanted out of the divorce. My divorce was...

Excellent Family Lawyer
Kristina has been a pleasure to work with. She goes above and beyond to not only represent me but also to guide me in the overall process. She made sure I understood what I was about to go through in every step.

When I consulted with Mrs Matthew's, the complexity of my case was overly stressed to her and she said she would be aggressive in the matter. Mrs. Matthews was everything but that. She would not be in communication till the last minute and always put it off on the other parties attorney. Whenever I a...
"I’ve known Kristina for the entirety of her legal career and highly recommend her. As a fellow member of the State Bar, I have no reservations referring clients to her. She is a talented attorney who navigates complex criminal and family law cases passionately and effectively. Many attorneys with brilliant legal minds struggle with efficiency and efficacy. Not Kristina. She is a wicked smart straight shooter who gets the job done - and well. Clients are notoriously pleased with her work and find her relatable, honest and compassionate."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kristina is a knowledgeable, reasonable attorney who effectively advocates for her clients. She is a capable of reaching fair agreements with her clients' interests in mind or litigating if necessary. Kristina has years of criminal courtroom experience behind her as well."
"Kristina is a great lawyer who isn’t afraid to litigate on behalf of her clients. She has a great deal of trial experience in criminal and family court. Highly recommend!"
"When I get phone calls asking for a referral to a family law lawyer I recommend Kristina Matthews. I've known her for over a decade and know her to be an accomplished litigator and strong advocate for her clients. The ultimate compliment I can pay her is she is one of the very few people that I would NOT want to go up against in court. I've sent several clients to her and they have all thanked me. That says a lot."
"Kristina is well know in our community for her skill. She is highly skilled, direct and aggressive."
