Saved Relationship
Just over four years ago I found myself in a civil matter with my ex spouse that lead me to believe there was no light at the end. I was fighting to see my son and be able to keep a roof over my head at the same time. While living in Orlando FL, Matt put forth the effort and gave the time to help me in a way that I could never have expected. I owe the relationship that I have with my son now in most part to what Matt was able to help me accomplish.
Recent Verdict
The Mecklenburg County District Court Judge entered a Court Order in our client’s favor at the conclusion of an Alimony and Equitable Distribution trial. That Court, after lengthy arguments and production of case law, attributed almost no debt to our client and awarded her a sizable share of the parties’ marital estate, including retirement funds from her ex-husband’s retirement accounts.
