Fifteen years as a paralegal shaped one of our attorneys’ path to law school long before she earned her degree. She balanced family, full-time work, and evening classes for four years before joining Matthews & Associates in 2009—and that road left a lasting mark on how she handles a case.
That background means she understands what happens behind the scenes of a legal matter, and why staying connected with the people at the center of it isn’t optional. For clients who may be years into a legal process, clear communication isn’t a courtesy. It’s part of the work.

Built for the Long Road
Spending 15 years as a paralegal before law school gave this attorney a ground-level view of how legal cases actually move—the documents, the timelines, the moments when clients are left wondering what’s happening. That experience informs how she communicates now: directly, and without assuming clients already know what terms like “discovery” or “mediation” mean. Legal matters can stretch on for years, and clients deserve honest conversations about where things stand and what’s coming next.
The Personal Touch, in Practice
As she explains in the video, what many clients want most is the personal touch—especially when a case becomes part of everyday life for years rather than months. Some of the matters we handle take three to five years to resolve. For clients living inside that timeline, regular contact and straight answers matter as much as legal strategy.
Our team at Matthews & Associates includes more than 20 attorneys representing individuals and families across the country. We work on a contingency fee basis and offer communication in English and Spanish, making legal representation more accessible regardless of background. This attorney’s approach reflects what we believe a client-centered practice actually looks like: not a policy statement, but consistent contact and honest conversations throughout the life of a case.
If you’re facing a legal issue and aren’t sure where to start, a conversation with our team can help. Reach us at (888) 923-7001.
