I was very fortunate to retain Deb as my Attorney in assisting me with the duties associated with administering my uncle's estate. This was my first experience with the probate process, and it seemed quite daunting at first. As it turned out, navigating through the probate process was made much easier thanks to the exceptional experience, knowledge, organization, support, guidance and professionalism of Deb and her team. I was provided with the necessary information, documents, and referrals. Communication from her office was courteous, timely and professional, and follow-up by her office was performed in a timely manner. I am most grateful to Deb and her team for services, guidance and support provided. I highly recommend Deb and her team for their dedication, experience, and ability to effectively and efficiently provide the necessary legal assistance associated with the handling of any estate matter, with compassion, professionalism, and respect.

Deb came highly recommended to me after I had a difficult time dealing with my father's estate. I did not want my family to have the same issues. She and her time were great, explained all the steps need for a Will and estate planning, everything was done in a timely manner. I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she has provided for me

Deborah has been SO helpful to us at different phases of our life. After we had children it all became real! Deb helped us with all aspects of estate planning – writing a will, establishing a trust, setting up medical directives, powers of attorney, etc. And she looked out for us over the years. When our oldest child turned 18, she helped them set up their own power of attorney and medical directive so that we could continue to legally act on their behalf if the need ever arises (something we weren’t even aware we needed to do!). Our youngest just turned 18 and completed the same paperwork and I am so grateful with how much time and care Deb took with her. She was very welcoming and patient, taking the time needed to make sure she understood everything. She has always made us feel comfortable, no matter our questions! Deb is extremely knowledgeable and very caring. Highly recommend.

As coincidently both my estate attorney and the estate attorney for a real estate client of mine Deborah hit it out of the park for the rapid and seamless transfer of my dear client's Trust when he suddenly passed a week before settlement of his condo. The condo was in his Trust and I was sure the formalities could not be done in time to close on a wonderful contract for the sale of his condo. In one day Deborah contacted to successor and lined up all the paperwork with her and the settlement company in order for the successor to sign 4 days later. I know without a doubt it would not have happened if not for Deborah's swift actions, excellent knowledge of what to do and desire to get it done for my client. Five stars for sure!!!

Deborah was highly recommended by close friends who's judgement I respect.We were not disappointed with the service that was provided.We had wills,medical directives,and trusts prepared that totally satisfied our needs and feel like we are well protected.Plan to use her again for future work

Ms. Matthews was very thorough and thoughtful in helping us revise our wills . She made changes and then more changes as we thought about how we wanted our estate to be settled. Her staff is very responsive and kind.

I was recommended to Deborah by a close friend of mine who’s judgement I respect, (perfectionist when it comes to legal/tax matters). I also have advanced cancer so there was a time constraint to get this done. Deborah was very considerate and got me into my initial meeting within the week – I know she had to shuffle a few appointments as she is in very high demand. I required several documents of a high legal/technical nature that included: • Last Will and Testament • Trust Deed • Deed of Assignment • Memorandum of Instruction • Power of Attorney • Advanced Medical Directive • HIPAA Release I received a draft of the documents much faster than expected. Not a single amendment was required. We set up an appointment to sign the documentation. Deborah was completely prepared for the meeting which was completed in record time. I walked out knowing me and my loved ones are legally protected to the full extent of the law. Also want to take this opportunity to give a big shout out to Deborah’s legal team Cassandra and Natalie, (hope I spelt your name right). They are a delight who really know their jobs. Well done folks. I would recommend Deborah and Team to anyone.

Deb handled my estate plan and documents in a professional and efficient manner. No time was wasted. I'm confident that I got the best legal advice and recommendations for my situation.

She responded quickly and saw me right away when I had an urgent need. Everything was completed smoothly and efficiently by the entire office team. They offered full service completion of my estate documents. Ms Matthews rhinks quickly and planned all my documents including communicating rapidly with my other attorneys to make sure that I had all I needed. She was very kind with the fees and understood my problems very well.

I am a 60 year old career professional with two properties and nearing retirement with a big family. Deb assembled all my legal papers including a revocable trust, power of attorney, health care power of attorney, deeds, and will. She is an expert lawyer, patient, kind, willing to explain numerous complicated legal scenarios, savvy, and dedicated to educating her clients. For anyone of any age, I highly recommend her for estate planning! She is on top of current legal needs for all.

Deborah guided me through the entire process of making a will, creating medical directives and establishing a trust for my heirs. She provided excellent legal counsel and answered my many questions thoughtfully and with a great deal of legal knowledge. I highly recommend her services.

I have worked with Deborah for nearly 10 years. She first helped me review and re-order my affairs after the death of my husband and then after the death of my mother which left me guardian to my brother who has disabilities and lives in another state with other laws. I found her guidance excellent--she was able to help me sort through all kinds of questions, both familial and financial. She helped me complete and file all the documents in two states to get the job done. Highly recommended.
