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.

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.

Best help I could ask for

I had a 3 year nightmare I got married to a man who had a restraining order against him based on lies. The other party stalked us and made false police reports weekly. We went though the court system to get modification so we could see our kids get awards or do anything at the school since she omitte...d the fact that they went to the only high school . Attorney Foress help us with the complicated side of family law it is not as simple as people think. IF WE HAD HIRER HIM IN THE BEGINNING WE WOULD HAVE SAVED OURSELF YEARS OF PROBLEMS.I can't thank him enought then after my husband passed they were there to help me with the Guardianship of my step daughter once again I didnt know were to even start and they were there. The office staff is awsome listened to my concerns and were always there to help

Very helpful!

I was referred by my Employee Assistance program at work. Turns out Matthew didn't handle the type of case I had, but he was very helpful and contacted an attorney for me to help answer my question. He called me after hours to tell me what the other attorney told him.
