Matt has integrity. Matt is solution-oriented, brilliant, creative and compassionate, and represented me very effectively while also taking into consideration all parties involved - with a strong emphasis on the effects the case would have on my three children. Matt is AMAZING. If there was something higher than excellent on that scale, I would choose it! My ex's lawyer wanted to instigate; she fueled the fire between my ex and me - which led to more challenges - and more costs. Matt gave me things I could do on my own to cut costs whenever possible. He told me the pros and cons of each battle along the way so I could knowledgeably make choices. For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day. His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life. That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day. His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life. That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Matt has integrity. Matt is solution-oriented, brilliant, creative and compassionate, and represented me very effectively while also taking into consideration all parties involved - with a strong emphasis on the effects the case would have on my three children. Matt is AMAZING. If there was something higher than excellent on that scale, I would choose it! My ex's lawyer wanted to instigate; she fueled the fire between my ex and me - which led to more challenges - and more costs. Matt gave me things I could do on my own to cut costs whenever possible. He told me the pros and cons of each battle along the way so I could knowledgeably make choices. For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING!

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day. His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life. That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Matt has integrity. Matt is solution-oriented, brilliant, creative and compassionate, and represented me very effectively while also taking into consideration all parties involved - with a strong emphasis on the effects the case would have on my three children. Matt is AMAZING. If there was something higher than excellent on that scale, I would choose it! My ex's lawyer wanted to instigate; she fueled the fire between my ex and me - which led to more challenges - and more costs. Matt gave me things I could do on my own to cut costs whenever possible. He told me the pros and cons of each battle along the way so I could knowledgeably make choices. For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life. That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Mathew was completely honest and upfront. I would hire him again if I needed representation. He has a very deceiving demeanor..but Mathew has an amazing integrity and confidence that gets the job done.

Matt has integrity. Matt is solution-oriented, brilliant, creative and compassionate, and represented me very effectively while also taking into consideration all parties involved - with a strong emphasis on the effects the case would have on my three children. Matt is AMAZING. If there was something higher than excellent on that scale, I would choose it! My ex's lawyer wanted to instigate; she fueled the fire between my ex and me - which led to more challenges - and more costs. Matt gave me things I could do on my own to cut costs whenever possible. He told me the pros and cons of each battle along the way so I could knowledgeably make choices. For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day.

That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Mathew was completely honest and upfront. I would hire him again if I needed representation. He has a very deceiving demeanor..but Mathew has an amazing integrity and confidence that gets the job done.

Matt has integrity. Matt is solution-oriented, brilliant, creative and compassionate, and represented me very effectively while also taking into consideration all parties involved - with a strong emphasis on the effects the case would have on my three children. Matt is AMAZING. If there was something higher than excellent on that scale, I would choose it! My ex's lawyer wanted to instigate; she fueled the fire between my ex and me - which led to more challenges - and more costs. Matt gave me things I could do on my own to cut costs whenever possible. He told me the pros and cons of each battle along the way so I could knowledgeably make choices. For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day. His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Mathew was completely honest and upfront. I would hire him again if I needed representation. He has a very deceiving demeanor..but Mathew has an amazing integrity and confidence that gets the job done.

Matt has integrity. Matt is solution-oriented, brilliant, creative and compassionate, and represented me very effectively while also taking into consideration all parties involved - with a strong emphasis on the effects the case would have on my three children. Matt is AMAZING. If there was something higher than excellent on that scale, I would choose it! My ex's lawyer wanted to instigate; she fueled the fire between my ex and me - which led to more challenges - and more costs. Matt gave me things I could do on my own to cut costs whenever possible. He told me the pros and cons of each battle along the way so I could knowledgeably make choices. For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day. His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life. That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

For being so young, I was surprised with the vast amount of knowledge he had - especially with the issues pertaining to military law that we had in our case. He was also interested in finding solutions (utilizing the latest technology like apps or software) for my ex and I to work together to co-parent, not just focused on the litigation aspect. He guided me to separate the roller coaster of emotions from the matter at hand as often as possible so that I made decisions that were sound instead of ones based on the feelings of one awful moment or incident. Yet he listened to everything I had to say with compassion and with the conviction to resolve the issue in my best interest - and he really understood that what I wanted most was for my kids to have everything work out in their best interests. Being that my ex is in law enforcement and a military officer, I often just wanted to give in to the bullying from him and his lawyer. And Matt calmly fought for me when I was exhausted from the battle. Today I am a more empowered woman than I ever was during my 22 year marriage, I have completion in my relationship with my ex and my kids are THRIVING! I am truly blessed that I was referred to Matt Purcell.

Mat jumped into my case late but has so gracefully been able to get my divorce settled in our third attempt at mediation. Previous council got me into a huge mess and that left a lot of work for Mat. He worked countless hours to get me what I wanted. I appreciate the professionalism, privacy, and diligence, you are definitely more deserving of 5 stars! Thank you Mat!

As an attorney with many years of commercial litigation experience I thought my divorce would look similar to the cases I had handled for years. I quickly realized I was pretty lost in a foreign territory with a very different language and customs; until I hired Matt. While there were no children in our marriage, my divorce was financially complicated. There were multiple professional businesses to be dealt with, widely varying retirement account balances, differences in age and differences in social security payments. Matt was great at giving me an outline of what was to come, what was important and what was not important, how the law applied to the facts of my divorce, and the likely outcomes if we had to go through a trial. He did a great job of dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, and keeping me sane in the midst of what at times seemed like craziness. When we went to mediation Matt did a great job of presenting to the mediator things that I did not explain very well. We were able to negotiate a very fair settlement during the mediation. Matt's fees were very fair considering the outcome, and based on what my ex- spouse has said about their fees, Matt's fees to me were less than a third of their fees. Matt simply stayed focused on what was going to make a difference and did not get dragged into unnecessary (and expensive) meaningless skirmishes. I think Matt is a great choice for a more-complicated divorce where analysis and detail, and clear communication, are critical.

From day one Matt put me at ease. He always maintained a professional demeanor and portrayed integrity throughout the mediation and court dates. He was consistent and never surprised me with unforeseen issues. With that being said, no one has that ability except God. So I always felt I was given a gift from God when I picked Mathew Purcell as my attorney. My case was awarded to me and im completely satisfied with the results. Your kindness is appreciated Matt.

I have hired Matt for a complicated divorce case, extremely complicated child custody case, and complicated business case. He has done a great job so far. He is great at business. He is easy to work with. He is very smart guy. He is good at debate in court. He is a very likable lawyer and person in and out of court. I am very happy with his work. He is probably the best lawyer in the area along with Shea. The best way to find a good lawyer is to sit in court and watch them argue. Matt is probably the best I have seen. He seems to have a lot of pride and integrity in his work. He cares about his clients.

My case was complicated, I had previously had three different lawyers and was feeling defeated until I saw Matt in court. He owns the court room when he speaks and he gets the respect he deserves. I knew I needed to speak with him and get his advice and when I did, I instantly knew that somehow, someway we would be able to solve my problems between my ex and myself. I am a no BS type of person and have to have things black and white and no sugar coating; Matt was exactly that but still compassionate to my situation at the same time. He told me straight up what he thought, what his plan was and what all of the possible outcomes would be. I had been to mediation twice with different lawyers with no resolution yet when I went to mediation with Matt the process was so different, he made everything run smoothly and we came to a solution that day. His honesty and integrity shows in everything he does. From how he speaks to you one-on-one to how he represents you in court, you can tell Matt has a true passion for what he does. He knows your case in and out and when you have a question he quickly has a solution or an answer to help. I can't say enough to thank Matt along with his amazing staff and their help they provided to make an uncomfortable process smooth sailing. I can now take a deep breath, move on, and look forward to my next chapter in life knowing that I absolutely got the best outcome possible thanks to Matt's help.

When we walked in for a consultation with Matt, our situation was lightly described as a massive mess. Up against every single obstacle possible, a wall of lies & at our wits end for a resolution. Matt was very honest and blunt and described exactly what we were up against and what it would take to make it right. He told us that he would take the case, but that he demanded our cooperation in timely responses and documentation. It was almost an entire year process, but Matt made EVERYTHING worth all the work and time put in to all of it. He always responded to questions, he worked with us through everything. When we hired Matt, I hadn't seen my children in almost a year. They had been literally ripped from me and no one listened to anything I had to say or the truth put in front of them. Until Matt, with his hard work and dedication - my family is now working on being whole again. I not only got visitations restored with my children, because of Matt, someone finally listened that they were in an unfit situation & I have custody of my children. With the help of Matt and his staff, I am able to now raise my children in the healthy, happy & supportive environment they deserve - and my children are excelling in every aspect of their new life. That in itself, is absolutely priceless. Matt is a straight shooter, he doesn't beat around the bush. He is straight to the point, beyond ethical and he gives it to you like it should be. He doesn't want his time wasted and he doesn't waste yours. He gets the right done. Our family will forever be grateful to Matt and his entire staff for making our family whole again.

Matt was very fair about his billing,his knowledge of the law was incredible, He is one of the most HONEST Attorney in the tri-city. Matt had to fix the errors made in my Divorce degree and the CR2A agreement made my attorney in Richland, and my x wife attorney in Pasco AFTER THE DIVORCE WAS OVER. The first time, I meet with Matt and told him that both attorney left my x wife retirement account open ,so she could pull all the money out of a community Property account, She did pull $85,555 before the divorce was over, That even her own attorney in Pasco did not disclose to the courts. Matt was in court the next day and put a stop order on that account. Matt save my my part of that retirement, because after the divorce,she moved to Florida and went missing, he had to track her down. Matt work with my x wife retirement account to get the right paper work in to them, to get my share. That, both the divorce attorney never contacted my x retirement account though out the hold divorce to get a balance on the account. I just moved to Pasco before the divorce and I did not know anyone it took 2 attorney, That I hire to mess up my divorce and I wish, I would of found Mathew Purcell and my divorce would not cost over $35,000 plus, what I had to pay Mathew Purcell to fix the other attorney mistakes. I am truly bless for Mathew Purcell and his staff, they were great to work with.

Matt took on a very complicated case of mine. Before I hired Matt, I had a final parenting plan that was put in place back In January 2016. After spending an abundance of money on my prior Lawyer, I had decided to settle in court, although it wasn't what I truly wanted. I was then referred to Matt and heard wonderful things about him and his line of work. Soon after, I sat down with Matt and decided to hire him. Matt was completely honest and upfront with all the questions I had. He was very professional and straight to the point, which I loved because he didn't beat around the bush and said things for how they were. In the end, Matt was able to open my parenting plan back up for a major modification. I ended up getting custody of my son, which was something I never thought I would get as a father. Honestly, if it wasn't for Matt and his amazing staff working hard on my case, I wouldn't be where I am today with my son. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney. He has literally done what no attorney could and what I never expected to happen. After a long, hard fight, I finally have my son and it is all to the thanks of Matt and his staff!

Mathew was completely honest and upfront. I would hire him again if I needed representation. He has a very deceiving demeanor..but Mathew has an amazing integrity and confidence that gets the job done.
