  Matthew was polite, honest and diligent. He changed rough situation to being straight-forward. I would advise anyone that wants the best lawyer to contact him.

  In my experience, this attorney lacked integrity and delivered far less than he promised. He charged $400/hour for emails and the same rate for court appearances, plus two hours of travel time — totaling $800 just to attend court. In my case, he forgot important points in front of the judge, which hurt my custody outcome. I also relate to other reviewers who have described similar issues. He promised to secure 4 months of child support arrearage, but due to his negligence it ended up being 11 months — and he did not take responsibility. If you still consider hiring him, read the attorney-client agreement very carefully. One of his first questions to me was the year, make, and model of my car — something that, in my view, had nothing to do with my case but may have been used to gauge how much he could bill. In my opinion, he is not worth the $400/hour rate. Look elsewhere for representation.

  If you are thinking about hiring Matthew M. Williams as your divorce law attorney please read. In February of 2023, my ex took me back to court to file for parenting time and official rights to his kids after I had been awarded full custody of them in 2017. In between getting divorced in 2017 and returning to court in 2023, I have received little to no help from Tom with his children. In fact Tom would not see his kids for long periods of time in this time period not to anyone’s fault but his own. I hired Matthew in February of 2023 to defend and support my case. Immediately I brought up to Matt how I have been paying for my kids dental, health, sports, etc alone for years and I have receipts for many things (hoping to get this paid back) Matt then told me to gather receipts for all of these things I paid for in the past. We end up emailing back and forth for weeks about this. It takes me a few weeks to gather all receipts (some from 5-6 years ago). I had a stack of papers of receipts that looked like an encyclopedia. I drove out to his office in aurora and dropped off all the receipts physically. One month later I was requesting as to why I haven’t heard anything about all the receipts I dropped off…Matt responds by saying that he spoke with Tom’s lawyer and there is actually nothing in the order signed in 2017 requiring him to pay for any of his kids expenses. Because Matt didn’t take the time to check the original court order in 2017, I wasted hours of my time and thousands of dollars in emails discussing this with him. He did not apologize. We had a GAL get involved in our case. I kept trying to ask what were the GAL’s final recommendations? (Final recommendations from the GAL is really what the judge will go by). Matt told me on a phone call at one point that the GAL recommended that I get the rights to the kids. I was thrilled. Matt then wrote up an agreement awarding me all of the parenting rights -(charged me $800 dollars to do so). We all assumed that Tom will sign it because that is what the GAL recommended. Tom however, did not sign this agreement and said it was very far from what the GAL had recommended. Weeks and many emails later (thousands more dollars later) I found out that the GAL awarded me rights to medical decision making ONLY. He did that because I am a Family Nurse Practitioner. Every other right was split down the middle including sports, school, religion, etc…so the agreement Matt wrote up awarding me full parenting rights was a complete waste of time and money (and frankly it confused everyone). Finally, we came to an agreement and it was signed 8/2024. However, I recently discovered that this order unbelievably also does not specify that Tom has to pay for half of medical bills, dental, or school bills for our children. So at this point after paying 20,000$ for Matt to represent me, I still have a fairly large problem on my hands of Tom not being required to pay for my children’s necessities. I am and was very angry about the wasted money and prolonged time taken due to confusion and Matt giving me misinformation about the GAL recommending me full parenting rights. He did not correctly clarify when it was easy to do so on two occasions and did not have my best interest at heart. I have to wonder if any of this was prolonged purposefully for financial gain? Can he really be that inept as a divorce lawyer? In the end I do share rights with Tom which has worked out okay because I advocated for the correct wording in the court order to protect my children. The point is -if you want a lawyer to waste your time and money (and have no apologies for it) and do ALL and I mean ALL the work yourself then hire Matthew M. Williams. I reached out to Matt with all the details about why I was upset with the order not specifying Tom has to pay for his child’s necessities and that is why I hired him to represent me. I was hoping he would help me correct this problem on the order that was signed in 8/2024 but he did not care and said I am on my own he did what he was hired to do.

  I hired Matthew for my divorce, and I can honestly say that he has exceeded my expectations. Matthew and his team are not only experienced but are very thorough with their cases. He is professional and patient and treated me with nothing but respect. I highly recommend Matthew! Going through a divorce is hard enough, you need someone that has your best interests at heart, and with Matthew that is exactly what you will get when he represents you.
