He went in depth with the response, citing cases and applicable laws regarding the laws affecting this matter. It was truly complete and I believe the response was approximately 15 pages. The judge had to review the factual response and it was irrefutable. The court agreed with Mr. Stivers response and ruled in my favor. My opinion is that the response Mr. Stivers submitted covered all legal bases, and provided other similar rulings in similar cases. I believe this was the difference between having a ruling in my favor and losing with a ruling not in my favor. Mr. Stivers is a highly competent attorney. I strongly recommend Mr. Stivers and believe he will give you the best opportunity for fairness and success in court.

I was facing an incredibly high-conflict family law matter that was destined for long and expensive litigation. I had been dealing with a very difficult & extremely high conflict situation for years, with long litigation in the past. As a result, I fully believed I would only obtain a reasonable & favorable resolution through court. A peaceful resolution seemed impossible. so, I felt like I needed a judge to step in and save me... But I was wrong. Matthew's negotiation skills are truly unmatched. He impressed me so much! I had read a review about Matthew that said something like, "Just pull out the popcorn and watch him work." Well, that was my experience with him as well! When it was action-time, it was like watching a movie! When dealing with the other side, he's very persuasive and his points are compelling. He had a way of articulating & advocating my position that they couldn't argue with. And not only did he get me a huge win, he was somehow able to help improve our co-parenting relationship, which I had believed to be too far gone. My situation was unique, nuanced, and very complicated, but he came up with a truly wise & highly strategic plan, and executed it perfectly from start to finish. Matthew is also very mindful of the costs. He purposefully didn't just 'run the clock'; he made sure to be perfectly prepared for everything, while at the same time hedging against extra costs. Matthew, Vicky, and Christina actively worked to find a path toward a settlement that I never thought was possible. They were absolute rockstars from start to finish. They are meticulous with details, always responsive, very professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Matthew and his team achieved what my current wife and I thought was impossible. It's been over a week since our victory has been official, and we are still pinching ourselves! My family has been celebrating for over a week, and we're still celebrating! It feels unreal! If you want a lawyer that can truly fight for you, supports you, has unmatched negotiation skills, who will take a very strategic approach, can talk sense into the most difficult & unreasonable situations, and who genuinely cares, then you need to choose Matthew & his team! No matter what your situation looks like, he's more than equipped. He really has a way of cutting through the noise of a high-conflict case to focus on what actually matters. By reaching a settlement without having to litigate, Matthew, Vicky and Christina saved my family an incredible amount of time, stress, and money. Walking away with a victory for my family without the stress & cost of a courtroom battle is the greatest gift Matthew and his team could have given us. If you are looking for a legal team that is sharp, ethical, and capable of achieving the impossible, you need to hire them. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business.

When I was planning to get married again, I called Shawn and asked if there was a way I could protect myself.  He suggested a Prenup or as he calls it Premarital agreement. Working with him was simple, we spoke on the phone and he answered all my questions in detail.  I called him back a few times with more questions and he answered me promptly every time (He did that in the divorce too).  Once I was ready, he gave me a somewhat accurate price for the work which was reasonable (he did that with the divorce too).  Since I am busy, everything was done remotely because of Covid and my work schedule.  The Document was over 40 pages and extremely detailed and plans for every contingency. He worked with the other attorney to make sure every issue was addressed.  I highly recommend him and I hope I won't need his services again.

Schilling (who my father-in-law has dubbed, "The Orange County Baracuda"). John has been my family law attorney for years, always offering sound advisement for a myriad of divorce, and custody-related issues. John's office and staff (Tara Villa and Vickie Conner) have been so personal and kind during some of the darkest times of my family's life. With his unrelenting determination to seek a just and fair outcome for his client, John was able to gain "client control" over my petulant ex-husband that even HIS own attorney could not. John is very confident and commanding in the courtroom, and has decades of experience with all the judges and any fellow attorney worth their salt. THANK YOU, John, Tara, and Vickie!
