She demonstrates exceptional expertise and provides thorough legal guidance with a strong focus on the well being of the child.

My two sons were subjected to emotional and physical abuse by their mother and her boyfriend while living with them in California. I live in Chicago and had one son who stayed to live with me. For 1.5 years I was unable to contact nor visit with the second son who remained with his mother in California. Mattis Law drafted a perfect filing for our case presentation, including statements written and executed by my wife's father, step mother and sister which resulted in my Illinois son continuing to reside with me and a court ordered visitation for the son living in California. Amelia Mattis is organized, intelligent, poised and calm even when opposing counsel's behavior was obnoxious. Her suggestions to me for preparation of the court ordered mediation were perfect and kept me from falling into the traps being set by my ex-spouse. The office staff of Cassidy and Cheyenne were superb and I truly felt that we were a team united for the same goal. Mattis Law was the last of four law firms I interviewed for this important work. I wish I had found them first. They are brilliant, organized and stay on task by not participating in petty details. Look for Mattis Law on the list of California's Best Attorneys for many decades to come for they truly deserve this designation. Bravo!

Amelia is walks into court cute as a button, but every word out of her mouth is so precise, factual, and loaded with information. When she speaks, she does it in a way that settles all the dust and allows her verbal argument and points to be not only heard but received. She is smart as a whip, knows her stuff like the back of her hand, will work with you to get what you want but won’t lead you astray if she doesn’t think it’s doable. She’s compassionate, professional, and will absolutely work wonders for you. Highly recommend! Unlike a lot of attorneys, she will advocate hard for you and your children, but without bringing the drama, antagonism and inflammatory/smear campaign into the mix. Her office staff is wonderful too. Cassidy has been so helpful in getting communications to and from myself and anyone else who needs to be looped in. So, so thankful for Mattis Law. This is the first time in my 4 year custody case that I’ve felt like I was in good hands and feel some sort of comfort.

Amelia Mattis is a great litigator, attorney and knowledgeable. She helped me throughout this process and responded to my concerns either email or phone calls.

I retained Ms. Mattis for a very difficult move-away case when my ex-spouse requested full custody to take our daughter out of the country for several years. She knew exactly how to handle my case, was caring and kind, and VERY knowledgeable. Furthermore, Ms. Mattis was able to look at our case in a manner that was in the best interest of our daughter, kept me on track with what I felt were the most important aspects, and we collaborated on numerous strategies - resulting in a successful win for us! I cannot thank her enough.

Attorney Amelia Mattis was highly attuned to my child custody concerns. She prepared me for my Family Court Services Mediation and when our mediation date arrived, I could tell I was much more prepared than the other side, and it showed in the report we received. I felt very confident in her representing me in the most sensitive and important matters of my rights to my children.

Ms. Mattis is an excellent family law attorney. I highly recommend her for custody and move away cases. she paid close attention to details and was always very prepared in court. Thank you so much for helping my family through a difficult time.
