Matteson & Matteson Family Law

Going through a custody and mediation case is never easy, but having the right attorney made all the difference. Brittanie was compassionate, thorough, and always had my family’s best interests at heart. She guided me through every step of the process with clarity and professionalism, and thanks to her expertise and dedication, we achieved the best possible outcome for my family. I am truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney. In her rare absence, Ross was always available to answer quick questions, and together they are truly dedicated to their clients. I never felt like a number, but rather heard and respected as a person. During one of the hardest times of my life, having them on my side was incredibly comforting. I am truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend Brittanie and the team at Matteson & Matteson.

I was referred to Brittanie by a trusted friend in the legal field, and I will always be grateful for that connection. I reached out to Brittanie the evening I learned I was getting a divorce. Despite being busy with another matter, she took the time to inform me about the next steps and what I needed to be aware of. Although there was a brief wait before we could officially begin working together, I knew from the start that choosing Brittanie was the best decision I could make. I wanted her by my side as I navigated one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Divorce is incredibly challenging, but Brittanie made the process more manageable. There were several unusual challenges thrown our way as well as several other specialty attorneys that had to be brought on and she handled it all with great confidence. Throughout my lengthy case—lasting nearly three years and involving several attorney changes from the other side—Brittanie’s dedication and focus never wavered. I never once felt that my case was anything less than a priority to her. She was always so quick to get back to me. The patience and professionalism she demonstrated were truly impressive. If you are facing a divorce, I cannot recommend Brittanie highly enough. Her work ethic, responsiveness, legal expertise, communication skills, and genuine compassion are exactly what you want in your corner during such a difficult time.

As I sit here today looking around at the love surrounding the second life and home I have created, with my 3 healthy & happy children by my side, I often think of the immense gratitude I have for Brittanie Matteson. When I first met Brittanie, I had spent years in an unhappy home that rarely felt safe & was void of love. I threw myself into work & my children, working way too many hours & endlessly volunteering for any position at their school that would keep me close to them & keep us away from home. I was a shell of my prior self, one I no longer even recognized, & I was terrified that the endless family funds afforded to my ex would make it nearly impossible to get myself the proper representation that could stand up to the opposing party. When I sat down with Brittanie at our introduction meeting, the first thing I noticed was that she is no nonsense. She had no desire to waste my time or bill me for minutes that were spent chit chatting about the weather. She wanted to get down to the brass tacks & give me a realistic summary of my situation & next steps. At the time, there was another attorney involved that had a very different approach (this was just before moving to this office with Ross - just to be clear that the other attorney is no one in her current office) & I immediately knew who I wanted to work with as my main attorney. I watched as Brittanie (who stands maybe 5' 6" tall on a good day!!) stand up to the first attorney the opposing party hired. Then the second. Then the third. Every time they felt the scales tip in my direction, the opposing party would hire a fancier & more expensive legal team. This woman believed that my children & I deserved a second chance at happiness so strongly, that she stood tall to FOUR TEAMS of lawyers, by herself, at every hearing. Watching her unwavering bravery ultimately gave me the strength to carry on & believe in myself as well. Divorce & custody fights are the most draining & painful thing to go through. It's agonizing & you spend a lot of time questioning what the best next step is. Brittanie stayed by my side the entire time, she always took my calls, answered my emails, listened to my fears & never let me take my foot off the gas pedal (even when I made it really difficult for her - trust me.) I really feel like anyone else would have given up hope & no one would have stayed in the trenches with me for as long as Brittanie did. At our first meeting, Brittanie said to me "I know this feels really scary & you are worried that it will ruin your family forever, I get that, but I'm telling you that when this is all over we will sit down together, not as attorney/client but as friends, and you will be able to tell me how much happier all of you are BECAUSE of what you are choosing to do today. Your family will all be better for it." I've never been able to forget that sentence because it was true. We are all, my ex included & especially our children, a happier co-parenting family than we ever were before as a traditional one. If you are looking for someone to help you see through all the legal babble, be more than fair with your billed time, and to suit up to jump in the trenches with you, call Brittanie Matteson. You won't regret it.
