Bob did a great job for me and my family. He took our best interests to heart and was always available to give advice. He understood how sensitive matters can be in a family business - he was both professional and careful to handle the matter in the most sensitive manner possible, leading to an outcome that left everyone involved satisfied. I can't recommend him enough!

I hired Ryan for my divorce. He explained the process very clearly and followed through on what he said he would do in a timely manner. His assistant was a great help. I think Ryan did an excellent job.

My wife and I met with Ms. Ball concerning a Trust matter. We were greeted and lead to a conference room. Ms. Ball was prompt and very efficient and effective with the time we spent with her. She completely answered all our questions and gave us useful documents to use as guides and reference. We hope that we do not need to use her services in the future; but, we are completely confident that she can satisfactorily handle any legal matter concerning the Trust that may surface.

My mother and I have been clients of Hale-Ball for many years. We have utilized their services first for establishing and then later modifying a Will and Power of Attorney for my mother. Their treatment and attention to my mother’s desires were first and foremost - the most important aspect of their customer service. Jean Ball and the staff made my mother very comfortable and valued in the process of developing and adjusting the Will, which can sometimes be a bit confusing to the elderly. My mother was always made to feel that all was taken care of and that she could be at ease with what she had established. I cannot express enough how important that was to me, to have my mother content with her actions when creating her Will with Hale-Ball. After my mother’s passing I enlisted their services again for Probate processing. Cecilia Sheil was very knowledgeable and thorough with the multitude of steps and forms and requirements for this process. I was informed of the various options available to me and decided to tackle the Executorship by enlisting their help with filings, form submission and accountings on an as-needed basis. With their help I was very quickly able to file the Will and Estate Inventory and initiate the process with minimal trips to the Probate office. With their guidance I was able to preemptively get all of the forms completed and get a quick jump on the distribution of assets which again with their help went exceedingly smooth from a Probate process point of view. As the distribution neared completion, family dynamics made for some complex and difficult actions involving ‘tangible personal items’. Again Jean and the team provided invaluable advice on the possible courses of action which clarified and simplified the steps to be taken. Where family matters were outside of the Probate purview, they were able to draw upon additional resources and references and direct me to them for assistance. As an encore to the completion of the probate, family dynamics once again required that I enlist Jean’s help for hearings and testimony preparation. Without her help, I know that the results would have been quite different. In the end everything was completed and their expertise exceeded my expectations. The probate process itself is long and complicated, but was definitely easier with their help. Aside from the outstanding assistance I received from Hale-Ball, the only thing I can impart to others that may read this is what Cecilia said to me as it relates to the family disputes…”sure, you can do this yourself if you want to, but in the end you may wish you hadn’t”. Even with the personal issues I faced, Jean and Cecilia were always there at every turn to help with the bumps in the road making it a much more manageable task.

I hired Ryan Mattson to handle important child support issues for me, and he did so with a substantive and nuanced knowledge of the law. I asked for specific issues to be addressed in my case, and Ryan was able to have my concerns and legal interests protected in a written agreement that was negotiated with my ex-wife's attorney and the Division of Child Support Enforcement. Ryan proved to be a skilled and substantive negotiator who kept me updated and informed during the entire negotiating process. I received quality legal services and representation at a fair and transparent price. I would recommend Ryan Mattson to anyone looking to hire an attorney to represent their legal rights and interests in all areas of Family Law -- including child support. I couldn't be any happier with the Legal Counsel and ancillary services that Ryan and his Law Firm provided to me.

Ryan was very thorough and focused on the issues most important to me. I feel he had my best interests in mind. He is very knowledgeable in the laws and legal procedures related to divorce / separation. When push came to shove Ryan got me the most favorable outcome I could expect.

Ryan has represented me in child support and other matters. He is very knowledgeable in the law and is good about keeping me informed on the status of the case and communicating with me. He has a common sense approach and looks out for my best interests. I have referred many people to him with good results. Highly recommended! Jim
