Mrs. Van Matre has helped our family on a few cases and we could not be more satisfied. Her office and staff gives you the feeling of home and comfort and everyone is very knowledgeable. Mrs. Van Matre is very straight forward and never leaves you in the dark. She works very hard and obtains a lot of knowledge about case before going into court. My family Highly recommends Mrs. Van Matre.

I highly recommend choosing Van Matre as your legal representative. I very recently hired her to do my divorce and custody. The results were perfect and Van Matre and her staff are easy to talk with and always ready to help if you have any question. They are quick to respond, very friendly, and to the point.

Ms. Van Matre and her Legal Secretary handled all of our questions and concerns very quickly. She also treated my daughter with respect and seemed to speak to her from the heart. We are very happy with the services that were provided and highly recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney who is caring and one who will get the job done. We used her to help us get a well needed restraining order which was handled much quicker and more discreetly then it would have been if we had simply went to the court house to file one. She also handled another family members divorce and she was also very happy with the services that she provided to her.

I consulted with Caryn on the process for a divorce. She was friendly and informative, and also provided a cost estimate. She explained each step that would take place, and approximately how long it would take in a conversational, yet professional manner.

I hired Attorney Caryn A. Van Matre for a divorce case and her professionalism, knowledge, caring attitude and outstanding service and dedication made my divorce proceedings go very well and quite easy. She sat down with me and explained what to expect and how everything was going to go throughout the entire ordeal. She handled my case in a very professional manor. She ensured my ex didn't get away with anything that she wasn't entitled to, and was quick to put my ex in her place when she tried. Attorney Caryn Van Matre was always willing to put in the extra time that was required to ensure the case was handled properly. Being in the military and being deployed during the majority of the preliminary portion of the case, Attorney Caryn Van Matre went above and beyond to ensure that I was kept well informed of the status of the proceedings. Attorney Caryn Van Matre is phenomenal! She's the attorney you want on your side. I highly recommend Attorney Caryn A. Van Matre!

Never in my life thought I would need a lawyer. I was referred to Caryn by some friends, to handle my divorce. I could not have asked for a better attorney for this. She was no nonsense, straight laced, and kept me on track. I highly recommend Caryn for any Legal needs.

Caryn recently helped my wife and I with a step parent adoption. The first phase of this case was to terminate my ex wife's parental rights. This type of case in family law is very difficult. It was a very stressful time for my wife and I. Caryn and her staff were very friendly and helpful during our experience, at times taking on the role of a mental health counselor. They were always there to put our minds at ease every step of the way. Caryn's knowledge of the law and abilities as a court room lawyer are top notch. My wife and I were both very impressed. Throughout our endeavor I expressed to Caryn that I know that she couldn't guarantee our verdict, but no matter the outcome, I couldn't have been happier with her and her staffs performance. We ultimately got the decision we had hoped for. I would absolutely recommend Caryn Van Matre to be your next family lawyer. She certainly will always be ours.

Karen spent quality time with both my cases. She and her staff provided exactly what I expected and then some. Both outcomes were favorable, mainly due to her attention to detail.
