I can’t thank Carlson and Work enough. They were honest, set realistic expectations and told me exactly what was expected of me not just them to accomplish the necessary results. I never felt like I was misled and I was proud to work with them throughout the entire process. Great people!
I was referred to Attorney Matthew Work for a personal injury case from a former colleague he worked with at the prosecutors office. it was immediately obvious, Matthew still had a lot of prosecutor left in him. The insurance company’s attorney was visibly scared and not up to task when trail came around. I am so happy I hired and retained somebody with real trial skills rather than somebody who would’ve just pleaded my case out and took the first offer to make a quick buck.
I am forever thankful to Attorney Mathew Work and his team. Hiring him and his team was simply the best decision. They have impacted my life for the better and the dedication he showed to myself and my family has been life-changing. Great attorney and even better human.
The hype you read about attorney Mathew Work is real. As far as trial is concerned , there is no attorney in the state that is better than him. From the moment opening argument begins, it is his courtroom. He is smarter, relatable, aggressive while being polite. They just don't make many attorneys with his ability, he has it all. I'm so glad I hired him
Rebecca and Mathew are hands-down the future of Reno‘s legal scene. They are sharp, honest and genuinely care about their clients. They present each case very well and in a professional manner. I was really proud to have hired these duo as my attorneys. Ultimately, Rebecca delivered on every promise she made and I walked away with an incredible outcome. Don’t hesitate, talk to these folks!.
I met with Mr. Work after interviewing for other divorce attorneys and within 10 minutes I knew I needed him on my side. He was blunt, straightforward and told me exactly what my strengths were but more importantly how to prepare for my weaknesses. The other attorneys simply tried to sell me and make it seem like everything would be a slamdunk. Mr. Work is blunt and even in some ways can come off rude at times but at the end of the day his heart is in the right place and i knew i made the right choice hiring him because he really cares about delivering the best for his clients.
Work Law is comprised with absolute hard-working and dedicated people. Tanya, the paralegal I worked most directly with was so on it. She answered the phone when I called and was always willing to do her best to help. Rebecca was an absolute rock star in court and within weeks I had an outcome that I had waited years for. I am so happy I hired this crew
After one less than impressive experience with a Reno family law attorney, I made the wise decision to do my research, read reviews and asked around. I found Mathew and Rebecca and hired them as my attorneys . The experience with Rebecca versus my previous “billboard attorney” was night and day. She answered the phone, quickly responded to my emails and was reassuring throughout the very emotional custody battle. I am so grateful to have found these kind and caring people. There are still good ones out there.
I hired Work Law after being falsely accused with a rather serious crime. Matt and his team were able to present my side of the story in a clear and honest manner. I admire the enthusiasm and passion shown by them while handling my case Ultimately, all charges were dropped. I am very thankful for everyone over there at the firm.
I hired Mr. Work During a very emotional divorce. He was incredibly dedicated and determined throughout. Obviously, this was a very difficult time for me and my family but he made it slightly more manageable. I felt as though I was well represented, respected and fought for.
