Biography
I can’t begin to express what a wonderful experience I had working with Matthew Smith and his paralegal. They were professional, thorough, knowledgeable and most of all, kind and understanding during a difficult and painful process. Divorce is a scary time and there’s no greater comfort than feeling you have the best on your side—and hiring Matthew is hiring the best. He consistently worked to balance what was best for my case based on his extensive experience, knowledge and genuine interest in my well-being, as well as my personal values and needs. He cared about my case and I always felt like a priority. Matthew’s paralegal was an absolute joy—she took all of my calls as though I was speaking with a trusted advisor and friend. They worked diligently, efficiently and with genuine compassion to resolve my matter in a way that was better than I could have ever hoped for!
Matthew Smith & Caitlin Wilkinson offered exceptional counsel throughout my separation and divorce. As a former military spouse, I wanted to make sure that I was protected and understood my rights concerning military retirement pay and benefits. Matthew was extremely knowledgable about military divorce and well versed in the required language for our separation agreement. He also offered excellent advice that helped protect me financially in the initial stages of separation. Although he was more expensive than many lawyers I consulted, this investment paid off in the end. Matthew and Caitlin were both very helpful and prompt with their responses and reassuring throughout this stressful time. I highly recommend contacting them if you are dealing with a divorce or separation.
Matt Smith was my primary attorney and handled my divorce. I felt comfortable with him from the start. He has a mix of compassion, toughness, experience, and frankness you want from your attorney. He gave me legal advice but ultimately let me make the decisions in stepping through all the phases of the divorce. He was a very reassuring presence for me. His support staff is excellent. I mostly interacted with Caity Wilkinson who was always very friendly and helpful. The whole team (Matt, Caity, Brianna Salerno, and Catherine Fu) went the extra mile to get things closed out just before the end of the year. Thank you L&M.
I was going through a separation when I obtained Matthew Smith, at Livesay & Myers, as my legal representative. It was truly a difficult time for me. Matt was patient, understanding, and helpful with my case. I am proud and thankful that he was on my side. I had never seen so much dedication, great rapport, impeccable work, and professionalism. Also, his paralegal assistant, Kim, was always there with kindness and a helping hand whenever I needed it during my case. I can’t thank Matt and Kim at Livesay & Myers enough. I would definitely recommend Matthew Smith and Livesay & Myers to anyone in need of legal assistance in a divorce.
I came to Livesay & Myers during a time of high distress. I honestly did not want to file for divorce but Matthew Smith, in his patience, worked out a Marital Settlement Agreement on my behalf. It was a drawn out process, but Matthew Smith and his paralegal Caitlin Wilkinson was always there with clear and concise legal advice. Something that I never expected from the legal profession was compassion and was more than surprised to find it in both Matt and Caitlin. They were always timely but most of all realistic and explained the fine language of a settlement. I cannot thank them enough for the hard work and compassion.
