Very helpful!!!

I was referred to Mr. Forsse and I called him this evening at 4:42 pm (his office closes at 5); however, I had to leave a voicemail since no one answered. I wasn’t expecting a call till tomorrow at the the earliest. Mr. Forsse called me the same evening at 6:11 pm, when he should be home with his fam...ily. Even though he couldn’t take my case, which I understand, (we had already had one day out of our three day trial due to a private matter on the opposing side, and it’s a complex case), he talked to me for 25 minutes and gave me a lot of useful information, especially since I could possibly be representing myself. He also gave me advise of how to possibly save a little money with finishing the trial. I would have hired him if he was able to take my case. He seems to have his clients—or non-clients best interest and understands how unfortunate these family law matters are. Since he couldn’t take my case, he could have easily ended it at that because he has no obligation to give me any advise since I’m not a client. Thanks again, Mr. Forsse!

Communication is key

I hired Mr Forsee for an alimony case. An ex has avoided paying since the divorce and we needed to take further action apparently. Mr Forsee doesn’t return calls, nor does he respond to your emails asking for a status update. After 2yrs of working with him and paying out thousands of dollars we’re go...ing no where with my case. If you want an attorney who actually cares about his clients I wouldn’t hire this one.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Forsse is an excellent attorney, he knows exactly how the law works and what he is doing. Mathew went above and beyond what I originally needed help with. I hired attorney Mathew to handle my case to modify visitation rights due to a sensitive matter and he also helped me with child support ...along with small matters. Sara who is the Legal Assistant for the Law Firm is wonderful, she would keep in touch with me via email or phone regarding any updates to my case. Also, attorney Forsse was great at communicating to me regarding my case and any questions I had. Mathew Forsse is your attorney for any family law matters, I definitely recommend him to family and friends.

What a Great Attorney

I hired Matthew to represent me in court in a guardianship case and he clearly knew his way around the courtroom and consistently made the situation work to our favor. Matthew is very experienced and knows his judges. Two years in court and it was the decision I hoped for. Quite a professional!

Guardianship of Grandson

My son passed away in motorcycle accident leaving behind my grandson that he had full custody of. My grandsons biological mother came and took him. I promised my son I would do what ever it took to protect my grandson. I consulted with other attorneys who told me I had no chance. I got Matthew Forsse... number called him and explained the situation. Matthew told me from the beginning it was a 50/50 chance. Matthew fought for me and with me for almost 2 years he was at every court date, he answered all calls and emails he was always available to calm me down when I was getting frantic and worried. Matthew won my case for me and my grandson is with us and is safe. I would recommend Matthew Forsse to any grandparent who wants to fight to protect their grandkids. Matthew and his staff were always so nice and available. THANK YOU MATTHEW.

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.
