Matt handled my divorce in 2018 and did a good job then. He got the best realistic deal we could. I had to take the ex back to court to get a reduction in alimony due to the ex *finally* getting a fulltime job. In the course of that my position was eliminated at work and I decided to retire. He assigned this to Corrine Corrine was able to negotiate and not only get my alimony completely eliminated permanently, but also a deal that allowed me to not have the ex claim any of my severance package. She saved me 36K! They got WAY more then I could ever have hoped to expect. She did a fantastic job. Also, Matt and Corrine both communicate well. You always know where you stand. Matt will give you bad news when it comes directly and without sugarcoating it. No unrealistic promises. in my initial divorce that made a huge difference. He will always fight for you to the utmost, but he keeps you in the loop and keeps it real so you can make the ultimate decisions. I would highly recommend.

I went through Matthew for my divorce and the proceedings were done seamlessly. I got done within a year and the entire staff, specially Corrine, was amazing in their thoroughness, helping me understand the various, often complicated issues. Highly recommend them.

Do not hire! Save your money and go somewhere else! He kept charging me and didn’t give me what I went in for. In the end he told me I was better off going through the state. He had no problem taking my money even though he knew he would not be able to help me. If I could give him negative stars I would.

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.

Never again

I would not recommend this attorney. Despite charging $400 per hour for emails, court appearances, and even travel time, I did not receive the value or results I expected. If you are looking for someone who truly protects your interests, I suggest exploring other options.

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.

If you are thinking about hiring Matthew M. Williams as your divorce law attorney please read this review.  To fully understand my experience, I want to explain that I was married back in 2015 and had two children with a man we will call Tom that is and was a narcissist, liar, cheater, and gambler. I quickly realized this marriage was not going to work for myself or my kids filed for divorce in 2016. At the time of the divorce I was working as a nurse but I currently work as a family nurse practitioner. Tom (my kids father) stopped showing up to court in 2017 and I was awarded full custody and all rights to my kids for this reason. In February of 2023, my ex took me back to court to file for parenting time and official rights to his kids.  In between getting divorced in 2017 and returning to court in 2023, I have received little to no help from Tom with his children.

Williams, P.C.  Once the case was closed he sued me less than 4 weeks later for owing him as little as $2,000 stating he would drop his representation of me if it wasn't paid. Of course I paid him I had no other choice. Unbelievably terrible lawyer.  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.

Attorney is very good at taking your money and slow walking your defense. Continuance after continuance then will run your bill up so you cannot afford him anymore and leave you high and dry. He will barely communicate progress in your case unless you want to be billed for a simple email asking for an update. If you are a veteran like myself fighting for parental rights I suggest avoiding this office.

Well I have to agree to all the negative comments on Matthew Williams law firm I will never retain or recommend said law firm unprofessional and every time you walk in, there’s like you’re a new client doesn’t know his own clients after eight months of service. I would recommend David Lee law firm out of Aurora over Matthew Williams at least they won’t screw you over.

Matthew and his team have been amazing to work with. They really do care about communicating with clients and making sure there are no questions left unanswered. Michelle, Brittany and & Ericka are ALL AMAZING! They are always available to help when needed. I would HIGHLY recommend Matthew to any one looking for a lawyer.

Mr. Williams and his staff were professional and efficient with my divorce. I am super happy with their work. And Corrine was easy to communicate with.

Matt and his team were easy to work with, responsive, and helpful throughout my divorce. I would recommend him to anyone.

Extremely responsive, felt fully supported the entire process. Matthew took notes and explained what would be expected throughout the process of our case. Great legal advisor, would recommend this firm to any friend, colleague or family member without hesitation. Really worked with me and fairly billed for services provided. Thanks again for all your services provided Matthew, I was very happy and impressed with our outcome!

I utilized the Law Office of Matthew Williams for representation on divorce matters, and based on positive outcome, highly recommend Attorney Williams and his team. Attorney Williams and his team were extremely proactive in providing regular / routine status updates as the proceedings progressed, as well as, prompt in being available for legal consults when needed during the proceedings. Additionally Attorney Williams was aggressive in responding to opposing counsel and favorably represented my interests.

I highly recommend Mr. Williams, he was very helpful, understanding and thorough.

Matthew is a thorough professional. He got me what i wanted in just a matter of a month. I would highly recommend him. Thanks Matthew.
