What Our Clients Say

Mat has always provided extremely sound advise even when I’m unsure that I want to hear it, and has personally guided me through the pitfalls that are so prominent throughout this challenging time.  I personally attest and recommend Mat for anyone who finds themselves in my position from not only a professional standpoint, but a personal one.  This whole thing is very hard and emotionally draining, and Mat has been there to help my kids and I literally every step of the way.  It will always be appreciated and remembered.

Going to court to fight to be with your family is one the most difficult experiences you can go through. Kristin McDonald helped me navigate all of it from start to finish. She took the time to understand my personal situation and helped me chart a path forward. I truly cannot say enough to express how grateful I am that she was my lawyer.
