About:
Your peace of mind and financial stability are important. It is critical to hire an attorney if you are facing a mountain of debt or considering a divorce, or if you have been charged with a crime. How you resolve these situations can make a huge difference to your future. At the Law Offices of Matthew D. Roy, we work hard to present clients with the options that will yield the most favorable outcomes. Mr. Roy has a distinguished track record as a Sacramento divorce lawyer and as an advocate for consumers going through a bankruptcy, defendants facing prosecution, and aging individuals devising an estate plan. Family law  matters can become heated, particularly when the spouses disagree about how property should be split or what it is worth, or when they dispute whether alimony or child support should be paid. California is a community property state, which means that the community estate should be divided equally unless there is a valid written agreement specifying otherwise. Community property includes any asset acquired or income earned by a married person while living with his or her spouse. Each spouse can keep his or her own separate property, which is anything acquired by a spouse before the marriage or acquired during the marriage by bequest, devise, or gift.

"When I say Matt is the best, I truly mean it. During my divorce and settlement process, Matt stepped in seamlessly and immediately caught up on my case. He knew exactly what moves needed to be made next. Before retaining Matthew as my attorney, I felt completely lost and unprepared for what was ahead. But with him—and Vanessa, the absolute best paralegal you could ask for—by my side, I not only made it through, but I was able to resolve my divorce in mediation without having to attend countless hearings. Matt is incredibly well-connected and respected within the Sacramento and Placer County Family Law community. He took the initiative right away to reach out to opposing counsel and figure out the best strategy. He took on my case at the last minute and was, by far, the most efficient of the three lawyers I had worked with. Matt always greeted me with a smile and a positive attitude, which helped keep my spirits up during the toughest moments. I would wholeheartedly recommend Matthews Law Firm to anyone who wants genuine client care. Vanessa was attentive, organized, and always eager to help—her communication was consistent and clear, and she never missed a detail. Together, they bring a big-picture mindset with strategic guidance tailored to each client’s journey. I can’t say enough good things about this firm—they’re amazing."

"When I came to Mr. Roy I was in complete shambles with the uncertainty I felt about the possible outcome of my child custody case. I had no legal knowledge and the thought of being in court about such an important matter gave me severe anxiety. Mr. Roy helped me navigate my case from beginning to end, providing constant communication and explaining the legal process through and through. His knowledge is unmatched and I would recommend his services to anyone seeking favorable results in their case. Thank you Mr. Roy"

"I was in the middle of a messy 2 year divorce/ custody battle before I met Matthew. It was stressful and exhausting. Matthew was very honest and handled the whole process. He was always available. I will always be grateful to him and his team for everything they have accomplished for me."
