5-Star Client Reviews

Happy Client

Ms. Mathews provided an excellent professional service with a very friendly attitude. I greatly appreciate all her help in my case and would definitely recommend her to all of my colleagues and friends if anyone needs any legal service.

Happy Client

I highly recommend Lisa Mathews. She worked with me quickly and efficiently setting up a trust for my sister. I am out of state and timing was very important…I trust her completely and am very relieved to have found her. Her assistant Amanda was professional and very kind. Ms. Mathews explained things clearly. She was very patient and extremely kind and professional. I know I can reach out to her with confidence in the future and that she will advise and help me, as needed. A difficult situation was made easier than I expected, thanks to her.

Happy Client

Lisa came recommended from a coworker. She was very understanding and knowledgeable. She was direct and up front explaining what to expect. I felt I could trust her to be honest and ethical.

Estate Planning is for everyone!

Divorced?

Did you know that divorced people accidentally leave their assets to their exes all the time in America? Don’t let this happen to you.

Have children?

Court cases can take months or years if your children’s guardianship is contested after you die. Don’t leave it to a judge to decide what happens to your kids.

Single?

Estate Planning is for you, too! Make sure that the state does not determine what happens to your possessions if you die.

Estate Planning isn’t just about creating a will.

Are you a mental health practitioner?

A professional will outlines who will contact your clients and settle your professional responsibilities if you die or become disabled.

Getting married?

Planning isn’t just about death and disability. Prenuptial agreements are a good idea if you want peace of mind about a potential separation from your spouse.
