"My sister had the best experience with this man since her husband and his lawyer tried to make her look irresponsible and crazy during their divorce proceedings. They wanted to ruin her for having left him, fortunately Mr. Matthew managed to prove that everything was false, thanks to him she was able to obtain child support, alimony and attorney fees. He helped her get out of the process with dignity, she confronted her husband and his lawyer when they tried to intimidate and harass her in court."

"I travel a lot for work. My ex claimed I abandoned her and my family. She was furious and resentful, and demanded all my accounts. She also made false accusations of hiding money abroad with the help of a so-called expert, but this lawyer was brilliant in his response. He refuted all her arguments with real evidence before the judge. He managed to save most of my retirement. He also completely debunked the ridiculous claims made by my ex-wife and her dishonest lawyer about hidden international bank accounts. In the end, I got a fair judgment I could live with. He was also very well prepared during the court hearings and mediation."

"My ex-husband, in our divorce, refused to pay child support. He also demanded that I move out. He demanded 50/50 visitation, even though he had little interest in seeing the children, except perhaps a couple of days every other weekend. Attorney Matt Martell was able to protect my legal interests, curb my ex-husband's verbal and emotional abuse, and obtain a solid settlement for both of us. My finances are safe. I no longer have to worry about my ex-husband's harassment. Mr. Martell has extensive knowledge of family law cases. He is also courteous and very professional."

"My ex-wife wanted 85% of everything I had built for us through very hard work during our marriage. I thought I was doomed until I hired this lawyer. His knowledge of divorce law and his legal strategy were great. He left me with most of my assets protected and without giving up more than necessary. This was thanks to his tenacity and hard work. I recommend him to any small business owner in crisis during a divorce."

"My ex-wife tried to destroy me legally. She hired a nasty divorce lawyer, and a expert witness forensic accountant. The demanded a huge amount of financial documents, and accused me of hiding assets. I have an international business and had a lot at stake. This lawyer was my shield, protected my assets and my reputation, and got the judge to see the truth. He is the ideal lawyer for those of us who have a lot to defend in a divorce."
