Law Office of Matthew B. Rosenthal - Elk Grove, California

Arthur JR

Mr. Rosenthal and his team represented me in a custody/child support case. I have never needed representation before and had no idea what the process entailed or how to go about navigating the family court system which can be very difficult and intimidating. They were honest and straightforward, knowledgeable, and were quick to respond to my many emails and questions, even on the weekends. His rates were very affordable which was a big deal for me because I had already spent hundreds of dollars on a paralegal before I had found Matthew. I walked into court nervous and anxious, and Paige did a great job of calming my nerves and assuring me she had it handled. With the help of Paige, they were able to get my son’s mom to agree to my requests (which is not an easy thing) and the case was settled without conflict. She even caught “mistakes” on my ex's income declaration at the last minute and saved me from paying hundreds of dollars more a year in Child Support than what it should have been. I left court feeling like my son's mom and I got what was fair, and I never would have been able to do it on my own. I highly recommend this law office.

By way of background, I’m a legal secretary working mostly large firms for senior partners, so I’m picky about attorneys. Matthew has been first-rate. From my work experience I already knew the procedure and what would happen, and it’s been a pleasure to see a real professional at work on my behalf. I also know from work experience that quality representation is often expensive. Matthew’s practice is a breath of fresh air; his billings reflect efficiency and respect for his client’s resources. Trust me, too many California attorneys know how to fluff billings, and Matthew stands apart from that. In family law you’ll also work with paralegals, and Matthew’s paralegal Traci is excellent. They both are good listeners, quickly “got it” about my details, and strategically have litigated my case appropriately and economically. As I well know, that is about as good as it gets.
I have a lot at stake in my case, and knowing that my interests are so well protected is extremely important. Also, Matthew’s practice stands out among the family law bar: The client gets the benefit of efficient professional expertise. In California, unfortunately, this is unusual.
I highly recommend Matthew.

Matthew has been supportive and thorough for the entire time of my child custody issues. He is very patient with me and understanding. He shows great guidance and his knowledge has worked for my family and I. He is shows genuine concern for you and treats you with respect.

Matthew worked with me for round two of my divorce. Round two went on and on and on but not because Matthew prolonged things as some divorce lawyers will do. He does not rack-up the hours on purpose and I really appreciated this-- after round one.

He was very patient and diligent and was my absolute advocate. We finally got to resolution which, given the circumstances, was a good outcome for me and I am now, finally free.

Matthew will do good by you! He is modest, knowledgable and focussed.

I was referred to Mr. Rosenthal by my dad for immediate help with my daughters custody’s hearing only weeks before the trial was going to take place and god bless him for first giving me a free consultation and taking my case with only a few weeks to prepare. He was him and his staff were so on top of everything and got back to me on a daily with updates and info needed. He was very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and a huge one, very very genuine and up front. No beating around the bush. Telling you to the point. I’m a firm believer I got the best outcome in my favor and am beyond happy with what Matt was able to get for my daughter and I. Last but not least, when everything was finalized, Mr, rosenthal gave me a huge hug that meant the most to me. It felt like that “Jerry miguier” moment. That was more respectful and heart warming that went miles with me. If you are in need of one amazing family law attorney don’t hesitate to give this guy a call and see what he can do for you. I highly doubt (from my personal experience) you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Matthew and staff for everything and being so on top of it with the time we had. Blessed and lucky to have chosen you to represent me through that difficult time

Well... divorces are never fun but working with people who know what they're doing help! Mathew helped me with my divorce YEARS ago and every so often I will have a question and he timely calls me back to offer his input on how I can navigate things and use his services. He has provided great customer service, knowledgeable in his field and worked hard representing me multiple times now.

Where do I begin. I was referred to mr Rosenthal by a friend. I can't begin to tell you how stressful it was to find representation on a fixed budget. Mr Rosenthal worked with me every step of the way also reassured me to all my questions that I had as this was my first time dealing with Family Court. Mr Rosenthal and his team Crista & Paige were all so very pleasant Helped me from getting parenting time with my son. Mr. Rosenthal pushed for me to get as much time as I could with my son as we got some time not exactly what I wanted personally but is it start to something in the future and that is what mr Rosenthal assured me it's just the begging and continue with the time and we can address ask for more time down the road. I can not express how much I appreciate everything that has been done all the hard work and efforts you and your team provided. As my case was not a easy one. With the op being very difficult. But you and your team did just what you promised and that's time with my son so I can not thank you enough I will be sure to refer everyone I know to your firm

Thank you once again.

I was searching for an attorney in 2015 when I lost custody, home and all assets during my divorce case. Mr. Rosenthal helped me get my fair share of custody, property and all. He fought for everything very sincerely until it was all resolved. His office staff is very thorough and very professional . His documentation portal is very well organized.
He did custody trial, property trial as well as contempt of court trial for my divorce case.
Thank you for his ethics , professionalism and kind support.
