About

Since 2009, I have focused solely on family law including divorce, custody, support, abuse, adoptions, prenuptial agreements and name changes. I practice in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and have experience handling cases with a variety of financial circumstances. Prior to forming my own law firm, I practiced family law for nationally recognized firms in the Philadelphia area and New Jersey. With offices in Philadelphia, Media and Haddonfield, I am using that experience to continue helping my clients in the most cost-effective manner.I currently serve as the programming director for the Doris Jonas Freed American Inn of Court. I previously served as the co-chair of the Equitable Distribution and Alimony Committee in the Montgomery County Bar Association. There, I drafted changes to local court rules and planned programs on new developments in equitable distribution and alimony matters.I have been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers every year since 2017, a designation only 2.5 percent of attorneys receive in Pennsylvania. I am also a frequent author and presenter on family law topics for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, Pennsylvania Bar Association and Pennsylvania Family Lawyer.I am also a member of the following organizations:

Scott was very responsive in all matters that I reached out about. He was always willing to give me constructive feedback on where we stood in the case and I had a sense that he truly cared about me and families well being during the course of it. I would 1000% recommend Scott to anyone that needs a good, thoughtful lawyer that will fight for what's best for you.

I've been nothing but elated with the level of service Scott has provided. He's been extremely attentive to my needs and requests from the moment I reached out to him. He consistently helped me strategize and overcome every obstacle thrown our way. A couple years ago I used two separate attorneys who couldn't hold a candle to Scott. I sincerely hope he doesn't leave this area or decide to change careers, because I am certain I will be needing his services in the future and that he will satisfy my needs to the best of his abilities.

Scott Matison helped me with my divorce. I truly didn’t realize I needed an advocate to speak for me until he did. Getting divorced is emotionally very hard. You are losing a partner. To have an attorney speak for you and in your best interest is very comforting. He is good at what he does but more importantly he is a kind and good person.

Scott Matison was a pleasure to work with these past few months. Some important details for anyone looking for a family lawyer to know are these; Scott was prompt in answering questions, he would take them at nearly any time of the day, and even on the weekends he would take phone calls, or E-mails, no question was ever too stupid and Scott made it comfortable to ask. I knew nothing about how the law works and this guy was professional, prompt, and on point. I felt like I let the hounds loose when I retained Scott, he went after every small detail that would have helped me in my situation that I didn't think about until I heard his opinion. I got the best deal that I could get under the circumstances. He was very knowledgeable and I am more than proud with my decision to retain Scott Matison to represent my case, and if your searching for a family lawyer to represent you, then it stops here. This guy will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you deserve, and is fair in his line of work.

I spoke to two attorneys today. Mr. Matison was clearly the winner among the two consultations despite not giving me a great deal of hope. His fees are more reasonable, and he gives you a very clear, honest look at what you are facing in courts and court fees. He even told me that right this very moment is not the time to retain an attorney until some stuff is settled with law enforcement... again, very honest. And even without retaining him yet he told me I can email him further questions as they come to my mind. P.S. I suggest you call attorneys or email them directly. Don't message them on AVVO. Seems few if any actually check their AVVO inboxes.

Scott was able to make a plan for us to be successful. He realized that my son had a better living environment with me, and he made it happen. I highly recommend Scott matison. I will tell-all of my friends and family about how helpful Scott was. THANK YOU!!
