Our Estate Planning experience with Andrew R. Matteson was amazing!! We were overwhelmed coming in with all the details and trepidation if such an important process. Andrew put us at ease immediately with his knowledge and understandable approach. It was clear and concise plan that covered all our concerns. We felt confident that he would counsel us in all the next steps, and he did!! Thank you.
Andrew took care of our needs in a thorough and professional manner. All information was communicated to us in an easy to understand fashion. Documentation was comprehensive and detailed. We felt assured that our trust was in good hands. Thank you
We are extremely pleased and satisfied with the very professional and efficient services we received from Andrew and his assistants, Sam and Jessica. Every step of revising the trust that Andrew had prepared for us over 20 years ago was explained clearly. All of our questions were answered patiently and fully. We have a real sense of peach about having placed our estate planning in Andrew’s capable hands. Thank you, Andrew!
We used Andy’s services to re-vamp our estate documents. His attention to detail is extremely good. He also seems to think very logically and is then able to present a plan in a logical fashion to the client. He made sure that all matters of concern to us for this transaction were addressed both timely and completely. We absolutely would recommend him for estate planning needs.
Great Service, quick turnaround, very responsive and helpful. Per my friend I recommended, a bit pricey, she went elsewhere.
Thank you so very much for your exceptional efforts to complete my Estate Plan as needed since my husband passed away in 2016. My desire to make the transition as easy as possible for my three children upon my passing. Andrew, along with his assistant, Jessica, expedited the process (after discussion, explanation and agreement) so efficiently that I was able to carry the necessary documents to Alaska where I joined my three children on vacation and promptly got the necessary signatures and notarizations for finalizing my Trust. I have never worked with more pleasant and efficient people and I very much appreciate you! I would also like to thank Eric Schott for the recommendation. I feel that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!
Attorney Matteson did an excellent job in guiding us thru the entire process and made excellent suggestions all along. We are very happy with the final copy and feel that it covered all the issues that needed to be addressed. Thank you.
My attorney, Andrew R. Matteson, has updated my trust, at my request, in 2010 and now in 2019. He is both knowledgeable and thorough. He has been ethical, honest and forthcoming in representing me always with my best interests in mind. He explains everything clearly and is patient in answering all my questions. I trust him!
What an absolute pleasure it was working with Andrew Matteson. We had been referred to him by someone who had used his services in the past. We so appreciate his kindness, attention to detail and patience. Since we had a lot of questions he took the time to carefully and thoughtfully provide explanations. Throughout the process he laid out all the options and scenarios possible making the process very clear. His easy relayed approach made us feel confident with all the decisions we had to make. In addition, we so appreciate Jessica with her focus on all details. What a great fiend this team has been for us. Thanks Andrew and Jessica. Would highly recommend you to our friends.
I have been a client of Andrew Matteson’s for several years. He is easy to work with, understands your needs and how to accomplish your goals regarding your estate. He goes over every item and walks you through every step. His staff is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him.
Initially, I started my will and trust process online with Legal Zoom. However, it wasn’t working out because I felt these two legal documents needed a lawyer I can trust who specialize in these matters. In addition to the thoroughly organized binder containing all my legal documents, Andrew introduced me to something perfect! He provided myself and all the people I designated to manage my estate complementary USB cards. Having this card readily available in my wallet is fantastic because if I become incapacitated, it is easier for my designated executors to execute my wishes. Now here’s why you can trust this testimonial. I am a young Generation X person in my early 40’s who makes a living developing e-commerce sites. You can imagine a lot of intelligence going into the work I do. So believe me when I say Andrew is the right person and someone you can trust to set up your will and trust right! I also want to thank Andrew’s staff for their experience in making the process smooth. Thank you, Team!
I have recommended Andy many times through the past 15 years and my clients have always returned highly satisfying reports. Thank you for helping me to get my house in order.
Andy was very helpful working with me on my trust. He was always patient in pointing out various ways of dealing with problems which might arise in the future. Andy is easy to work with and I was comfortable with his suggestions and would recommend him to any who might need his services.
I was very impressed with Andrew from the very first visit to his office. He brought up things I needed to know and do in order to complete the things to be completed. I would highly recommend to all. Thanks to him I now know all about my Will and everything else that needed taken care of.
Thank you for continuing to provide me with excellent advice and necessary revisions to my Trust to keep it up to date. I have appreciated you and your staff answering my questions and taking whatever time I need to complete the update Trust to my satisfaction.
We were very pleased with Mr. Matteson and his staff. Every step in the process was explained thoroughly – for the first time we completely understand how to carefully choose the wording in our Will and Trust. This was not our first experience with an attorney, but our best experience.
Andrew Matteson handled my parent’s estate and when the time came helped me settle their wishes. At that time we started our family trust with him as were so happy with his services. Now 17 years later we updated our trust and again Andrew and his staff were amazing. He is so helpful and so knowledgeable 100% great service
My Trust was done originally in 2004, family circumstances required an update. Mr. Matteson professionalism and attention to detail was the reason I returned to his services for the update.
Andy is a wonderful attorney, we’ve worked with him on settling my parents estate as well as updating our living trust. He is extremely thorough, detail orientated with excelled communication skills. He explains every step of the process and follows through with commitments. We highly recommend his services.
It was a pleasure working with Andrew. He helped us clearly define our goals and develop the roadmap to insure our goals were met. I recently lost my husband and Andrew reviewed the plan my husband and I made, discussed options and took the time to help me clearly understand all the changes. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone.
Andrew Matteson is everything you would hope to get in an Estate Attorney. I retained him to help guide me with my former father-in-law’s estate as the successor trustee. He was well organized, knowledgeable of the law and the procedures in helping me settle the estate and distribute assets to the beneficiaries. Given his thoroughness careful follow through and well organized office support staff, I could not recommend him more highly. I was thorough pleased with his work and guidance.
We really appreciated the way Andy presented the “blue print” of how our Trust would be set up. Andy and his team made the entire process so easy for us. Once we received the final Trust binder, we were very impressed with how comprehensive it was. We thank you for giving us piece of mind. (
Mr. Matteson, Thank you for all your help and fabulous advice. You were very thorough and informative. Gave us peace of mind. Thank you.
Our Attorney, Mr. Andrew R. Matteson, was very patient with our procrastination and numerous questions. It’s not a subject most people care to discus, let alone think about. Thank you for helping us through this difficult, but necessary, step we all should take.
The Law office of Andrew Matteson was highly recommended to my wife and I by our financial planner in 1998. Merging two families together we wanted someone that understood our needs and had the ability to explain things to us clearly. We have met with Andy on several occasions since then and he has always been very professional and always listens to our needs. I would highly recommend Andy and his staff for any of your Elder Care needs or estate planning.
Andrew Matteson is the kind of attorney for older people in particular. He spoke slowly and precisely, making sure that we were understanding the information he was conveying to us. He also spoke to us in laymen’s terms so that we were able to understand. We certainly will recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney among our family and friends.
Our neighbors recommended Andrew Matteson to us. He made are experience in revising our trust very enjoyable. They’re so knowledgeable and caring. I would recommend them to family and friends in Sun City, Del Webb.
My wife and I needed to update our trust and we were pleased with the services provided by Andy and his staff. Andy did his homework and was well prepared for our meeting. He listened carefully to our needs, asked important question we had not considered, and created a diagram as we talked to ensure a common understanding. This diagram served as a blueprint to the high level structure of the trust, making the process easy to follow and in terms easy to understand, and at the same time helped us streamline and simplify the trust. Andy and his team were very thorough and efficient and we were very impressed with the end product.
Outstanding by all means. Since our relationship started 12 years ago, Andrew Matteson has produced and delivered, on our behalf, the best Estate Planning. His team have serviced our interests beyond expectations and we feel that our directives have been duly stated and will provide the security that our family relays on.
Very good and understanding and patient. A very caring person. Thank you.
Everything we contracted for was completed on time and at the price agreed to. Andy’s information and advice was given clearly and with sound back-up. Andy is very knowledgeable in his specialty and is a joy to work with.
I contacted Andrew Matteson through a referral as I needed to revise my Trust. The original Trust document was drawn up by a Southern California Law firm and was my only exposure to the process. I must say my experience with Andy was quite a contrast. I was particularly impressed with Andy’s patience and attention to the many details that are so critical to creating an infallible document. The original Trust was lacking in a couple of important areas and with Andy’s eye for detail and with his advice the corrections were made. He clearly explains the procedure, the mutual responsibilities and the required follow ups. The experience was gratifying. I would proudly recommend this law firm without hesitation.
The association with Andrew was painless and more than satisfactory. His staff is well-trained and efficient and available at all times. It was a pleasure to do business with someone as personal and knowledgeable as Andrew and his staff.
Andrew R. Matteson was a pleasure to work with and answered my questions clearly. He was extremely organized and appointments were made in a timely manner and easy to arrange.
We have rated Andrew Matteson and his team a “10” because our recent (& previous) experience with them has reflected “outstanding” work, in every aspect of the Trust update process. We particularly appreciate the detailed blueprint & diagrams that Andrew creates & uses to give us a visual picture of the Trust decision we made. He is very thorough in explaining every aspect of the trust, so we can be confident that each decision we made, clearly represents what we feel is in our best interest – and, we actually leave his office each visit, clearly understanding every document that we initiated and signed. Andrew’s team members are friendly and helpful, as well. We have and will continue to highly recommend the services of Andrew Matteson’s law firm to many.
Our original trust was prepared in 1998. Since then we’ve had a couple of Restatements. When we needed our estate plan looked at again we were referred to Mr. Matteson. He far surpassed our expectation. He analyzed our estate plan and discussed reasons why certain items should be changed. No other attorney has provided us with as much information as Mr. Matteson. For the first time we have a good understanding of what our trust does. We highly recommend Mr. Matteson, and his staff, to anyone who has estate planning questions.
He got the job done correctly and it was complicated. It took longer than I expected with so many office visits and cost more than I expected. His staff is excellent.
I am completely satisfied that Andy was able to assist me in getting all my thoughts on paper. He made recommendations that were very helpful to me in making my estate plan complete. Andy took enough time with me so that all my concerns and questions were answered.
I have worked with Andrew and his staff on three Trusts since 2006. They are always very professional and reliable. I rest easy with them on my side.
We sold our previous home and needed to transfer the necessary deed requirements to our new residence. Andy Matteson explained and carried out the update information in a very professional and competent timely manner with minimal office contacts on our part. We definitely recommend him to anyone needing to seek legal advice.
When my wife and I were looking for an Attorney to draw up a trust for us we sought the recommendation from friends and was referred to Andrew. We found Andrew’s relaxed visual method of explaining development of our trust to be extremely helpful and easy to understand. Andrew was in no hurry and took the necessary time to ensure we had all of our questions answered to our satisfaction. The entire process of getting our trust outlined the way we wanted it all the way through the signing of the documents was unrushed. Andrew’s staff was very helpful and enjoyable to deal with. We would highly recommend Andrew Matteson to anyone who was interested in a competent and caring attorney to help with your estate planning.
Enjoyed meeting Andy and his staff. Was very impressed how everything was explained! Diagram was of great help to understand the making of a trust and how it’s “built”. The whole meeting was very impressive. Would definitely recommend!
Attorney Andrew Matteson patiently took the time to explain to us page by page on how to fill up estate planning documents by giving us examples, choices and scenarios. He is very professional and with excellent knowledge in his job. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodated our questions and needs.
We are pleased with the speed, and service we received regarding the preparation of our trust. All the staff was pleasant and helpful. Attorney Andrew Matteson was very professional, explained everything in detail and used language we could understand.
My husband and I found Andrew R. Matteson very knowledgeable and extremely organized in explaining a Trust and Will. He outlines everything so you can visually see how a Trust and Will work and what you need to know and do. His staff is also very pleasant and helpful. We highly recommend him.
Mr. Matteson was very well organized. Our binder was in very good order with tabs identifying the various sections. He explained everything in detail and answered any questions. Our Dr. was impressed with the HIPAA document.
Extremely professional and complete. I recommended Andy Matteson’s office to my son and daughter and will certainly recommend Andy’s office and practice to other friends.
We employed Andy to execute a Revocable Living Trust for us. He spent a lot of time and effort to totally satisfy our wishes. Since we wanted to leave a good part of our trust to charities, Andy worked closely with our financial advisor to make sure the charities would receive 100% of the amount designated to them. Andy also recommended a fiduciary service to us. We were very happy with them as well. Andy and his staff were very personable and easy to work with. We highly recommend Andrew R. Matteson, Attorney.
The entire team was: professional, knowledgeable, answered our many questions. Were on time and we never felt rushed. It is very comforting to put our affairs in order with Andrew Matteson.
Andrew Matteson Law has been extremely helpful in dealing with all the necessary things after my husband passed away, with updating our trust. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful even with questions I had regarding articles of mail I had received. Thankful they were there to walk me through the whole process.
We just updated our family trust with Andy and enjoyed the experience. He is methodical and clearly explains each step of the process. We never felt rushed in our appointments and were never made to feel inept if there was something we didn’t understand. He also helped simplify our original trust which we appreciated. Andy’s admin, Sam, was terrific too. She is friendly, professional and helpful at all times. We would have no hesitation in referring Andrew Matteson’s law firm to anyone, in fact, we already have!
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Andrew Matteson to be your attorney. He shows that he cares very much about his clients and about what he is doing.
We can’t think of anything that Andy didn’t cover. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and a great help to us both. We learned many things that we hadn’t previously been told by our former trust people. The entire staff was efficient and pleasant. We will definitely recommend them to our friends.
Andrew’s process from start to finish was outstanding. His three step approach from information packet, to interview, followed by document signing was thorough and complete. Lastly, his detained instructions and paperwork to support funding the trust was instrumental in fully completing out “homework” in under two weeks.
Mr. Matteson’s efforts have showcased impressive knowledge and professionalism combined with delivering great customer service which delivered phenomenal results. He was very proficient in the development of my 5 part “Estate Planning”. He also provided a very professional staff that can support your needs. I worked with Andrew directly to complete my “trust” and at the end when everything was completed, he provided a memory stick with all my trust documents for myself, as well as my trustee and beneficiaries. I would highly recommend this Law firm and I would whole heartedly recommend Andrew Matteson for legal representation.
Changes in my life dictated that I needed to upgrade the Miller Family Trust of 1999. To rectify this situation in my life, my son, Doug III, recommended you via a mutual friend. I was favorably amazed with the rapid approach you presented with your “blueprint” depicting “Team Order” and “Team Status” as “Active” to simplify the whole process. We are extremely please with not only the document but also the “portable chip” given to all parties enabling them to produce immediate results during an emergency.
Our pleasure, having just worked with Andy Matteson on our trust papers. As an attorney, he is very organized, detail-winded and goal-oriented. Listening to his clients attentively, he leads them, step by step, through the process to arrive at the final product which is exactly what they wish, presented in a lucid and coherent plan. Andy wasted no time in getting the job done right for us, therefore our recommendation.
Andrew R. Matteson and his staff have given outstanding service establishing and understanding our Trust. They have always been available by telephone or in person to answer questions and encouragement.
Mr. Matteson is a consummate professional. He systematically explained all aspects of a living trust patiently answered all of questions and addressed our concerns.

I am very pleased with Andrew R. Matteson, Estate Attorney. He performed his duties with clarity, concise and methodical. Any and all questions answered understandably. Wonderful and helpful staff.
It was a great experience working with Andrew Matteson (Andy). The wife and I had a will drawn up 10 years ago. A close friend recently had his done, and we discussed how thorough Andy was with his. Very complete. I was surprised of what was left out of mine. I went to Andy with mine. We added things that would help our children understand clearly a benefit from. This man dots his “I’s” and crosses his “T’s” and I am fully content with the work he has done for us. You will to.
I really enjoyed working with Andrew Matteson. His team was thorough, professional and walked my wife and I through all the steps of our Trust, ensuring our understanding of the process. I would recommend Andrew and his team without hesitation.

Having retired and decided to get my affairs in order, I was recommended to contact Andrew Matteson by a colleague and friend who had an excellent experience with Mr. Matteson herself. I was not disappointed! Mr. Matteson was extremely personable and knowledgeable and was able to make the entire process of deciding on a trust vs a will and all aspects of a trust quite straightforward and clear. The trust “map” and subsequent binder made clear to me what my role in the development of the trust entailed and will guide my successor trustee through her/his role when the time comes. Getting an appointment and follow up meetings were easy, prompt and efficient, as were Mr. Matteson’s office administrations a wholly satisfactory experience. I would happily recommend Andrew Matteson in the future.
We are very pleased with the work that Andy and his very qualified staff did regarding our Family Trust. From our first meeting to the final meeting Andy walked us through the process and was excellent about explaining every detail. We are very happy that our friends, Mike and Joan referred us to him. They had used him to handle their work along with Joan’s elderly mother’s trust and were very pleased with how Andy handled the process as well. We want to thank Andy and his staff for an excellent job, you have met all of our expectations regarding an issue that requires attention to details. We would not hesitate to refer our friends or family members to his office.
Over the many years we have worked with Andy Matteson and his staff we have found them to be efficient and respectful. Any questions we have are answered. Andy has made the Trust a simpler road to follow.
I recently contacted Andrew to help me with a Trust for my family. He was very good at explaining everything to me, and helping with putting my properties in the trust. He was very helpful, patient, and great at organizing all the information so my duties were easy to follow, and the Trust is very well done. I would recommend everyone to work with Andy.
You made this so easy. You explained it all so well.
Mr. Matteson and his staff are exceptionally professional; as well as, very knowledgeable and sensitive to my needs.
I cannot recommend Andrew Matteson highly enough! Andrew is knowledgeable in all aspects of estate planning and customized what was best for us. The whole team was kind and efficient.
My financial advisor introduced us to Andrew Matteson in 2011. In the past, I have used 3 different attorneys to update my will and none of them as thorough as Andrew. He was very patient and made sure that we understood everything he was doing for us.
Working with Attorney Matteson and staff was all that we expected and more. They were able to present clear and concise answers to our change of Trust questions. All documents were prepared on time.

Andrew R. Matteson was highly recommended to us by my dad and my brother who both had their estate planning completed in the past. We worked with Andy recently to plan our estate as well and were happily satisfied with the process and our experience.
Andrew and his team provided very comprehensive estate planning services. They are very efficient and worked very hard to ensure they understood our goals and objectives. We feel very confident in the end result. We have recommended his services to other family members who now also use Andrew & team for estate planning. He also helped us coordinate with our financial advisors. This made the process a seamless and simple experience.
Highly organized, thorough and explained everything in a very understandable way. As a retired Attorney, I appreciated all of this.
Andy and his staff were very helpful and thorough. My husband and I appreciated Andy's complete and detailed approach. We met with other estate planners but had no apprehension coming back and choosing Andy and his staff. Professional, courteous, punctual and friendly.
We have used Andy as our estate Attorney for a long time and we have been extremely pleased with his service. He always takes time to explain things so we understand everything that he is doing.
This is the third time we have had Andrew update our trust. Each time he has been very thorough and attentive to details large and small. He is patient, a very good listener and has the ability to explain details in an understandable manner.
The people at the firm were very helpful to me in completing my estate planning. Everything was done on time. The pre-talk with Attorney before our meeting, helped me think how I wanted to set up my estate.
My financial advisor recommended Andrew to update my trust. I couldn’t have been happier. He was experienced, knowledgeable, thorough and a very effective teacher. He explained everything in a way that I understood all the details of the goals and decisions I was making. I valued his advice and he helped me put together my trust quickly and easily. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend Andrew Matteson for anyone seeking to have a willing trust prepared. He has many years’ experience in this field and is very well organized. I was amazed at how he had tabbed the binder indicating where signatures were needed, which greatly helped to speed up the process. He made certain his instructions were thoroughly understood before proceeding on to the next item. I believe his fee is very reasonable. He is very personable, and I was very pleased to have chosen him as my attorney.
At the very end of our meeting, I said to Andy “well, this is it. It’s all taken care of then”. He said “no, we have to check on your mobile home “(or something like that). It was 1/3/17. We had our final meeting to sign paperwork for the Mobile Home on 2/22/17. If we hadn’t asked, we would have thought we were totally finished. However, we thought our Attorney and his staff were very professional!
I have been a client of Andrew Matteson’s for the last 14 years. Due to life events I have used his services to start a trust, change a trust, or as a trustee, help in settling a trust. I have found him extremely knowledgeable, helpful and available for any questions. He goes over all the details, to make sure you understand the decisions you are making. His staff is friendly, and readily returns phone calls, I would highly recommend Mr. Matteson for all your Estate Planning Needs.
I first contacted Andrew in 2006. He was recommended to me by my financial advisor. I wanted to review my will and discuss other necessary legal documents. In clear English, avoiding legal jargon, Andrew reviewed my present will and then explained the necessity of an updated will and a family trust. Within a week the will and trust were ready for review. Again, very clearly, we reviewed the documents so that I thoroughly understood them. This past month (Jan of 2017) we repeated the process and I was very happy with the process and results. We also spent some time on my POLST reviewing various options relating to my healthcare when I would no longer be able to participate in decision making. Somewhat more complicated that I first thought. If I need any more changes in the future, I will return to see Andrew. I guess that speaks for itself.
Andy and his staff have helped us through a difficult and confusing time. Andy takes his time and explains questions we have in detail and makes sure we understand. I feel confident that Andy, has answered all of our needs and he is much appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work!!
Andrew Matteson and his staff are always courteous and professional. My questions are always answered immediately or in a timely period. Mr. Matteson continues to follow up with our needs and explains details and what is required in a way that is easily understood. He takes the extra step of documenting and describing on paper; we are very satisfied and recommend him.
About sixteen years ago, my husband and I were ready to set up a living trust on our assets. After research we chose Andrew Matteson, as our attorney. Due to life changes, I have had to revise this trust four times. Mr. Matteson has always listened to me and my concerns and worked with me to set up a new trust in a timely fashion. I have always been happy and satisfied with the work that Mr. Matteson and his agency has done on my behalf.
We felt Andrew was very professional and explained terms very well. We were impressed by his organization and were happy his appointments were timely.
I found Andrew Matteson to be very helpful in every way.
I undertook the task of being the record keeper of my Mother’s Estate. I feel the office should have explained the importance of the sheet that listed the beginning balances to be used for my mother’s assets. Because of that the beginning balance for her checkbook I used was different. Otherwise things went well.
Mr. Matteson did an outstanding job in helping me update my estate plan.
We have been clients of Andrew Matteson since 1992. His office is an inviting and comfortable environment. His staff is efficient, friendly and accommodating. We are very happy to give him an “excellent” report, and we do offer him as a referral to our friends looking for an honest, thorough and friendly estate attorney. He is very professional in conduct, commitment and meeting time agreements. He is extremely well organized, and explains things carefully to assure we understand exactly how our trust is written so our desires are carried out correctly. Andrew suggested legal ways for charitable groups to receive maximum benefits from estate gifts. He is also understanding and sympathetic to family situations. He is good at listening and when asked, offering possible solutions to avoid family controversies. Andrew also works well with our financial advisors. We feel blessed to have him attending our estate plans.
Dear Andrew, My son (Arthur) and I wish to thank you for a smooth and seamless transition through much paperwork that would have exasperated and mobilized us. Your swift and professional manner in dealing with our situation was greatly appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend you to family or friends. Sincerely, Marie and Arthur Beauchamp.
A recent meeting, upon our request, regarding a change of beneficiaries resulted in our complete satisfaction. Not only were our requests implemented but helpful insight was provided by Andrew which was well appreciated. Yes Andrew, “the wall around the castle” has been straightened.
Andrew was on time. He had done is homework and was ready for each of our meetings. He explained each page or document with intensity. I asked a lot of questions & Andrew was patient with me.
In January 2003, my wife and I asked Andy for his help in setting up our Trust. Andy patiently helped me making changes when my wife passed away. Now, 13 years later and my 6th visit asking Andy to again help me with my wishes to update my trust. He has done so, more than just my Estate Attorney I am pleased to call Andy a trusted friend. His staff are also wonderful people to work with. I know when my time comes I can trust Andy to help my executor like he has helped me.
I am most impressed with the professional procedures in which Mr. Matteson and staff conducted. Our continued needs from the first trust document issued and on to subsequent updating of same, as our needs required from time to time. Clear and concise guidance was provided that allowed for complete understanding.
In my experience in having Mr. Matteson help me with my Estate Planning, I have found him to be very attentive to my concerns, patient, and knowledgeable of all that goes into Estate Planning. A special attribute of Mr. Matteson is his ability to explain legal terminology in a way that I was able to understand. I would be honored to recommend him at any time.
We found Andrew Matteson to be everything one would expect from a lawyer; well versed in the law; thorough and accurate in the details; guiding us to decisions that best reflected our desires; considerate of special needs we had over the course of our 20 year relationship. In addition, we found him to be compassionate and kind. Andrew and his staff were very pleasant and easy to work with as well as respectful and patient.
Mr. Matteson greeted us warmly, acknowledging each one of our family members. He was very knowledgeable and organized, and the procedure of updating our trust went very smoothly. We would recommend Mr. Matteson to anyone who is looking for an attorney to handle their trust.
Mr. Matteson is very organized and he clearly and succinctly explained the workings of a trust. He worked with us in seeing our wishes were clearly stated on the document. Because of his efficient office, we completed the trust in a weeks’ time. He comes with our highest recommendation.
We have worked with Mr. Matteson for five years. Recently, he updated my mother’s trust, as well as my husband and my trust. Mr. Mattson’s expertise, professionalism and intellect is beyond reproach. Also, Jessica, his notary, goes beyond the call of duty. We highly recommend Andrew Matteson.

I worked with Andrew Matteson as the trust Attorney for my parents for more than ten years. My parent’s living trust had been established by another attorney, and when he retired referred them to Andrew. When my father died, Andrew helped my mother and me through the process of establishing the successor trusts and allocating the assets; he worked closely with us and the accountant to ensure that the assets were divided legally and financially distributing the trust’s assets between me and my sister. He and his staff were thorough, well-organized, knowledgeable, and kind, and made what could have been very onerous and confusing procedures into manageable tasks. Even though his office is in Sacramento, and my mother and I lived in the East Bay, we were able to communicate easily and he came to see us when necessary. I know that my mother was very confident in Andrew’s abilities and appreciated his expertise in trust law, and so did I; additionally, we felt the cost of his services were quite reasonable. I would highly recommend the services of him and his firm.

This was the second time working with your office. Everything was handled very smoothly and are very appreciated of the work completed.
We were assisted very well. The last charges I was not aware of a final bill if I had known this I would have paid it out of the trust instead of my personnel account. Also I’m sorry my brother acted like a fool staring at Mr. Matteson.

This is our second update of our original 1997 trust with Andrew. Andrew also handled my dad’s 2 revisions of his trust and the closing of his estate. Obviously, we have confidence in Andrew or we wouldn’t keep coming back. It is very easy for me to communicate with Andrew. He understands and supports my forward planning and attention to every detail. Others seem to get impatient. During our most recent planning meeting, our son had to become personally involved. He is extremely sensitive and all of these planning, forms, and the decisions he would have to carry out was too hard for him. Andrew handled his concern in a very clean and understanding manner. The only negative experience I encountered was a communication problem with Andrew’s staff. I had a meeting scheduled with Andrew but unfortunately he got tied up in an urgent situation. The staff failed to communicate the reason for the delay and keep me posted on the time frame. It would have been better to inform me of the delay and offer to reschedule my appointment.
Diagram of Estate Plan was very helpful.
Andrew is thorough, professional, fair and pays great attention to detail. Highly recommended in fact I sent my father/mother to him to update their trust.
Mr. Matteson provided excellent and expert service, and enabled us to make sense of a complicated estate. He completely guided us thorough the estate settlement, even though he had just suffered a major loss of his own. He was a pleasure to work with at every stage.

We have been working with Andy for several years and without hesitation would refer him to friends and family. Thorough, knowledgeable, accurate and a sense of humor! Who could ask for more in an Attorney?
The lawyers and his staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. They listen to you and what you want to do! They are very friendly and have helped me settling my fathers’ Trust and setting up my own Trust. They are always ready to take your phone call and offer assistance any way they can. I would, and have recommended this firm to my family and friends.
I have had a Revocable Trust for 20 years that was initially written up by Mr. Matteson. He has recently updated and revised this trust in order to change my co-trustees. He did the required changes and presented me with a complete new Trust agreement binder. I appreciate his willingness to accept many postponements due to health problems within my family during this revision process.
Andrew – thank you for doing a great job on our estate planning documents that you did for us. You are very good at the work you do. My wife and myself are very happy and grateful the way our documents turned out. I would just like to say thank you.
Very efficient. Very thorough.

Andrew’s professional guidance and help in handling my mothers estate made the whole process smooth and less stressful. So much so, that my brother and I had Andrew draw up trusts for each of us. Andrews staff was efficient, positive and a pleasure to work with. We are both appreciative of their and his professionalism.

Mr. Matteson recently did a trust for the father-in-law of our friend. She highly recommended him and knew he would be a good fit for us. We were also surprised how affordable the fee was for all the work that went into the documents. I cannot say enough good things about our estate planning experience.

Andrew Matteson prepared our Revocable Living Trust in 2002. There have been changes in the law in California since then. Also there has been a change in the relationship between parties that needed to be addressed. Andrew prepared a revision with options that accommodated the changes that were necessary. He also recommended that we align our IRAs with the beneficiaries that we identified in our Living Trust. This was accomplished through a Trusteed IRA with a reputable Trust Company. This process took several months. We were advised of the progress of these changes along the way either by Andrew or his staff until its completion. A final review made sure that we understood and approved of these changes. We would highly recommend Andrew Matteson for anyone to plan their Estate whether it is simple one or in our case a complicated plan.

I’m writing this well deserved review of Andrew Matteson, who with his assistants Loraine, Lisa and Jessica, helped me – rather guided me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. They were at all times sympathetic, friendly and always available to direct me in the legal aspects of the dissolution and finalizing of my late father’s will and trust.

We first used Andrews services to do my late fathers trust. My wife and I had trusts created by Andrews office, and we have referred him to several friends. After my father died, and after a neighbor died, I experienced using the trust documents acting as successor trustee with the help of Andrews office. They helped me with some difficult dealings with stock companies.
Andy and his staff made updating our living trust so easy to understand and do. He did a one page summary page that was so clear our adult children now understand our living trust. We appreciate the professionalism and friendliness of Andy and his staff. Highly recommend them!
This is truly a team you want working for you when you’ve had a loss of a family member with a living trust! It is hard enough dealing with a loss, and the last thing you feel like tackling is legal paperwork. However, Mr. Matteson and his staff were so kind that it made all the paperwork flow so that one was not overwhelmed. Mr. Matteson traveled to our town which is over 3 hours one way not once but twice to guide us through the process! Thank you Mr. Matteson. A big ‘THANK YOU’ to Jessica for making sure I sent the right papers and answered all my questions with a smile. What I respect Jessica the most for: she gave me the correct answers the first time and if she didn’t know the answer, she didn’t guess but reassured me to find out and get back to me – which she did 100% of the time. Great job Jessica!

Thank you so much for being so helpful in writing up our revocable trust and again in up dating it. It was great being able to do it in the quiet of my home. My daughter was here and as she is my ‘Co-Pilot’ and was so impressed she decided to have you write her trust. I would recommend you highly. Thanks again.

We received a written estimate of the cost. Within a week we had our changes done. His office staff was friendly and courteous. I would recommend his services.
Charleen and I have worked with Andrew Matteson since 1996, shortly after I (Bob) retired. We have been more than satisfied with the way Andrew and his staff addressed the various aspects of our trust documents. They brought up so many items that we could not have even dreamed of as being important in planning for the future. Recently, we went in to update various documents as result of some changes that we initiated, but more importantly, changes that were necessitated by various law changes. We would not hesitate to recommend Andrew Matteson to family and friends. And in fact we have done just that over the years.

We contacted Mr. Matteson for assistance after finding a myriad of complexities involved with their estates and a hard deadline for filing inheritance tax return. Mr. Matteson jumped into our situation with both feet. He cleaned up my mothers assets so that when she passed away 2 months later we were not faced with more problems.

Overall I was pleased with the assistance the Mr. Matteson provided during this difficult time with a very complex series of estates.

What seemed to be a complicated process was made simple and painless with clear explanations and thorough follow through by the entire staff.
My parents had a living trust under the direction of Andrew R. Matteson. After my father died in 2005, I became a joint trustee with my mother. Since my mothers death in Dec 2007, I have had a personal working relationship with his office as sole trustee regarding the distribution of my mothers assets. I did not hesitate to have his office draw up my trust. They are a professional, compassionate group of people, who truly care about your concerns for your future and assets.
Andrew Matteson and his staff have been extremely good to work with after all these years!! Thanks again Andrew and your staff!
Andrew Matteson and his staff are very knowledgeable and professional when helping us create a living trust. Andrew helped us understand the process and purpose of a living trust, and answered all of our questions very thoughtfully. When I asked him a question that I thought had a simple answer, he explained in detail an answer that turned out to be not so simple. I’m glad Andrew and his staff were able to guide us through this process while providing us a lot of detail and knowledge.
While in preparation for my retirement, my wife and I began looking for an attorney to assist us through an appropriate process to preserve our wishes relative to our estate. Mr. Matteson and his staff came highly recommended by another city employee who used his expertise prior to her own recent retirement. We had a vague idea of the path we desired and considerably more questions than answers. Within the first one and one half hours of our initial appointment, Andrew made the outline extremely simple to understand, guided us through the entire process, answered every one of our questions and provided alternatives for us to consider in order for us to reach our goals. From the first meeting we were convinced we made the correct choice in Andrew. Two weeks later the trust was completed, but not before he and his staff caught an oversight by our mortgage company relative to names on the property ownership papers. It was immediately corrected. From start to finish, what we thought would be a cumbersome and confusing experience, was pleasant, expedient, comprehensive, attentive to detail and well worth the small cost involved. We highly recommend Andrew’s firm for needs of this type.
Andrew Matteson was most professional and took great pains to straighten out a serious problem I had with my living trust. It had been prepared by a now disbarred attorney. This has given me peace of mind, and I would recommend his services to anyone needing a proficient, thorough attorney.
Very friendly – spoke directly to me and my daughter (not just my daughter) and treated me with respect. Explained everything in terms easy to understand.
Andrew Matteson recently advised and worked with us concerning a very difficult matter consequently making it easier to resolve some issues which had arisen during the sudden death of my son.

Andrew Matteson and his staff were absolutely the best in assisting me with the Certification of Trust after my husband passed away. They were professional, thorough, extremely patient, and walked me through every step of the process which otherwise would have been overwhelming. A time line was provided from the beginning which proved accurate. Mr. Matteson and his assistant Lorraine were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting with other items that would have fallen through the cracks. They were available for any questions or direction that I needed at all times. I sincerely recommend Andrew Matteson without hesitation. Even more than the professional commitment to his clients is the fact that he and his entire staff truly care. The heartfelt compassion, thoughtfulness and patience to his clients they displayed helped me through this difficult time. I am very appreciative of their guidance and assistance.
Mr. Matteson was very thorough and provided plenty of time to go over all documents, so we felt comfortable about them. His office staff was very pleasant and efficient.
Andrew Matteson explained all the aspects of the trust and other documents in ‘non-lawyer’ easy to understand language. Also, the staff, (specifically Jessica Ray with whom we had numerous contact with) was very helpful. If and when the need arises I will use him again.
I am a trustee for a friend and when it came time for me to prepare my own trust, I chose Andrew and his firm. They are very professional in every aspect of the preparation and conclusion of a trust. But, more importantly, Andrew is a caring person who understands grief.
Our experience with Andrew was informative and very positive. We had an outdated living trust which was written in 1989. He explained what and how the document needed to be changed, and explicitly went through all the necessary details for the update. Andrew and his team did a very professional job. We will highly recommend Andrew to our peers.
When we called, Andrew had a telephone conference with us. He then proceeded to ‘walk’ us through a complete trust during several office visits. He was very clear with every detail, assigning ‘homework’ for us between visits. He also coordinated with our financial advisor to be sure all areas were covered. We believe we have a good comprehensive plan for our future.
Mr. Matteson made my estate planning set-up easy. He goes through everything involved, detail by detail, so you are never confused. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely refer him to anyone starting this process.
The service and quality delivered was excellent. As a suggestion the binder provided could be more professional looking and show the trusts name etc.
We found Andrew to be very very thorough in all that he and his staff prepared for us. He was wise in suggesting what was best for our circumstances and in allowing us room to make our own decisions. His documentation as we progressed was thorough and proper amount of time was dedicated to bringing us up to date when follow up was necessary.
Seemed well versed in procedure. Answered questions fully. Explained items questioned by me fully.

My good friend (who was like a Dad to me) suddenly passed on 5/11/06. This was the first time I had to settle a living trust. Mr. Matteson and his staff stepped up to the plate and carefully guided me through all the steps necessary to process everything in a timely manner, and nothing fell through the cracks. I found the procedure to be difficult emotionally, but the paperwork end went really well. I don’t know how I could have ever made it without Mr. Matteson and his ‘wonder staff’ on my side. I very highly recommend him to anyone who needs to go through an unfortunate situation. Thank you Andy!

He is truly an Estate Attorney we would recommend.
As the successor trustee of my uncle and aunts’ Family Trust, it was most gratifying to me that everything was in place when they both passed away, making the settlement of their estate a fairly simple and straight forward procedure. This was due to the excellent manner in which the Family Trust was set up by Mr. Matteson years earlier. Mr. Mattesons’ step by step explanation and guidance as to how I was to carry out each phase of the settlement made the accomplishment of the task much easier to perform. His professional and congenial manner, as well as his acumen of knowledge was very important in bringing this settlement to a successful conclusion.

I am doing my Estate Trust with Mr. Matteson. Once you meet him you will be happy with him. My Dad had his trust done with Mr. Matteson several years prior to his death in 2005. I met Mr. Matteson at my Dad’s house when he would update my Dad’s trust. I was the Trustee of my Dad’s trust and he would go over what I needed to do. He is very easy to talk with and he will not leave you until you understand everything you need to know. All I needed to do was call his office and let him know my Dad was no longer with us. Mr. Matteson and his wonderful staff took over and made it very easy. Mr. Matteson and his staff did all the paperwork that needed to be done. Mr. Matteson’s staff was wonderful.

Cathy Cotton, (Administrative Assistant) was so wonderful and helpful. She never got tired or impatient with whatever I would ask or need.

I worked with Andrew & his staff after my husband passed away. We immediately went to work settling my husbands’ estate while also establishing a living trust for me. I found his staff to be very friendly, professional & accommodating. When Andy explained how everything needed to be handled he made sure I understood everything – drawing diagrams ad interpreting “legalese” terms if there was any confusion. It took a little longer than expected, but I felt confident with Andy & his staff, knowing they would be able to settle the estate favorably.

He did not rush through our telephone conversation and willingly answered my questions. When we went to his office, the staff had all the papers in order and explained each section of the trust to me.
Andrew Matteson and his staff are absolutely the most efficient organization. My husband and I had our living trust drawn up with revisions by Mr. Matteson in 2004.

I am a 77 year old widow. Andrew Matteson took the time to carefully explain legal matters to me in a way I could easily understand. He made a point of letting me know that even though I have a co-trustee, I was his client and in charge. He was prompt and courteous. I am confident that he thoroughly covered all the bases in setting up my Revocable Living Trust. I highly recommend him as an excellent estate planner and elder law attorney.
When I first completed my trust, Andrew Matteson’s office contacted me regularly to arrange updates. Each time this was done, I paid an additional fee-generally around $250.00. Friends have their trust updated periodically at no additional cost. Since the initial fee was substantial ($1,200 in 1992), I feel updates should be included at a nominal cost especially if they are generated by law changes and consist of “boiler plate” changes.
Working with Andy was great. He was very accommodating in scheduling our meetings. His staff were very responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. We joked with him that the only way we’ll really know if our trust is set up well is when it is put to use and then it will be too late for us to write a review. But Andy was very thorough and clear in his explanations and helped us reason through an important process with attention to detail.

We appreciated his professionalism and referred him to several of our family and friends, also in the Bay Area. He did their trusts and all were very satisfied. So when time came to update our trust, of course, we went to Andy. He did an excellent job and did it in a very compressed timeframe to meet our travel schedule.

Whenever, we called their office, we were treated as if we were their only client. It is comforting to know that the Matteson Law Firm will be available to provide the proper assistance in executing the Living Trust for us, our Trustees and Beneficiaries in the future.

He listened to our concerns, took notes and developed a guideline to serve as a path forward in preparing the trust. He is very organized and quite willing to take the time to answer or explain any items of concern. When my mother passed away I chose Mr. Matteson to help me settle her Trust.

The efforts & final results submitted by Mr. Matteson is the most complete, organized & understandable we have experienced to date. He was especially helpful in providing the most complete provisions for one of our children, who is disabled. He took time to insure all in the family, including our disabled daughter, understood our estate plan. We had a total of 4 sessions, objectives & explanations were established at the conclusion of each session. The completed documents were bound and tabbed with additional tabs divided for copies.

Not once have I heard a complaint. In fact, I’ve heard nothing but praise. The advice Andrew has provided has been invaluable. We plan to use his firm indefinitely in the future.
Our Living Trust was prepared initially and subsequently updated by an associate of Mr. Matteson. We recently contacted him about our desire to simplify signature requirements because our trustee has an illness making signatures difficult. He reviewed our trust and said that later changes in estate law made the trust excessively complicated and would result in expensive revision upon the death of one trustee. He recommended simplification now and his charge was very appropriate. He accomplished this at the agreed upon time and then thoroughly and patiently reviewed the revision with us. We are very pleased with the service we received from him and his staff and recommend him for similar services without hesitation or qualification.
Lorraine was outstanding in helping to clear with Sunterra to get our grant deed recorded correctly and to be put into our trust. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Andy Matteson provided very good advice and service. He provided us with a simple trust, rather than a special needs trust, for our situation in which our only disabled son will not be eligible for any long term public benefits after we die.
Excellent professional & reassuring service!

Andrew Matteson was professional, organized, and attentive to our questions and concerns. He clearly explained all of the procedures and parts of our trust. We highly recommend Andrew Matteson.
Andrew Matteson and his entire staff were gracious and friendly.

He gave me is undivided attention, speaking directly to me, as opposed to speaking “around” me to my son. We felt that his advice was explicit, straight-forwarded, and in the end, very well documented.
Andy Matteson was referred to us by our financial advisor. We needed to see an attorney to have an updated review of our living trust—one that we had originally established back several years ago.

We found him to be very easy to work with. He is a very pleasant man. Our daughter and her husband have also chosen to have them do their estate planning.
I was first introduced to Mr. Matteson by my financial advisor shortly after having moved to Del Webbs Lincoln Hills Community. At that time, he helped revise my Trust and April of this year he suggested I should up-date some areas of my trust. My daughter accompanied me at that time and she, as well as I , were very impressed with his professionalism. He, as he had in my first visit, gave us a sense of security and thoroughness. We were also very impressed with his gracious, helpful, office staff as well. I had the opportunity to recommend Mr. Matteson to a neighbor. Although financially it wasn’t a good time for them to consider making an appointment, it may materialize in the future.
As a trustee of my uncle and aunt’s “Family Trust, “ it was most gratifying to know that when my aunt passed away last summer, everything was in place to begin processing the settlement of her portion of the estate. This was due to the excellent manner in which their “Family Trust” was set up by Mr. Matteson, years earlier. Since there were certain trustee duties that I was to assume during this process, Mr. Matteson’s step-by-step simplified explanation as to how I was to accomplish them, certainly made the tasks much easier to carry out. His professional and congenial manner, as well as his acumen of knowledge was very important in bringing this settlement to a successful and timely conclusion. For anyone who is looking for an attorney who has the expertise in estate planning and elder law, I would highly recommend the services of Mr. Matteson, and his very capable staff.
I had the advantage (disadvantage!) of a previous attempt at a legal documenting of estate distribution.

During the review, our daughter was present at the meeting and my son was on a speaker phone conference call. Andrew wanted to have them both ask questions so they personally would be completely up to date on all issues of our plan. We have been very pleased with Andrew and all his staff. He as given us valuable information over the years. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I know for a fact that it is very complicated. We felt at all times we were in very capable hands. Andrew has been very helpful in assisting my husband in guiding him through another Living Trust of which he is the executor. The other trust was also written by Mr. Matteson.
Andrew and his staff provided excellent service. He is very knowledgeable & professional and took the time to thoroughly explain the estate planning process.

My relationship with Andrew Matteson goes back several years. While a former colleague of his helped my wife and me draft our original trust, Andy and his staff helped me execute the provisions of that trust when my wife passed away in 1999. They also helped my mother-in-law with her trust when my father-in-law passed away last year. As a trustee, I was present at the meetings. In these dealings, Andy and his staff were always very professional, well organized and friendly. I especially like the way Andy established a new Trust for my family. I recommend him without reservation, as does my wife.
Determining our Trust requirements. Reviewed our old Trust to determine if it met our present requirements. Created a separate trust for husband & wife. Transferring properties into a new trust from an old trust. Determined items that would be better served outside trust. Andrew provided guidance as to the best way to accomplish this. Andrew does an excellent job in explaining the Trust & fitting ones needs into this document. I have had a previous trust & am an executor to another & have never understood the document & purpose as clearly as I do now. Thank you Andrew & staff.
What should have been a very quick & easy trust became very complex & lengthy. Andrew & his staff’s friendly, informative & reassuring guidance helped keep my sanity & perseverence in correctly administrating this estate. They recommended an excellent stock broker (Dave Loffeler) & real estate attorney (Bob Dale) that made my job effective. I can highly recommend (& I do) Andrew & his wonderful staff to everyone.

My wife and I had our Living Trusts updated. We were very pleased with our visit. There were some areas that needed updating. This was done with promptness and very thoroughly. We were very pleased with his professional attitude and his knowledge of current laws.
This was so easy. Thank you so much for making this possible. I’ve referred you to everyone I know.
When I contacted Andy for assistance with our estate planning, my husband was experiencing a health crisis. We first met on a Wednesday at 11:00am, and by the next Friday, two days later, at 11:00am Andy and his team had all our documents prepared and ready for signatures. I was amazed and very grateful that this could be done in that short amount of time! Andy and his staff were helpful, professional, warm, and very easy to work with. I know they were working with other clients at the time, but I was made to feel that we were the “only game in town”! It was very comforting to me under the circumstances. I would, without hesitation, enthusiastically recommend Andy to anyone in need of estate planning services, and after working with him, I strongly feel that everyone with any assets needs help with this. I learned a great deal from him. He was very clear in his explanations of everything, and even though I am 58 years old and have a Master’s degree, I sure didn’t get THIS before! I credit Andy with saving us a lot of hassle and headache down the road.
Very pleased with Andrew’s ability to break down a complex topic to simplistic terms. Our decision making was more focused & met more accurately our strategic desires. His staff was equally helpful & patient. Follow through was wonderful.
The offices staff was very responsive to my questions at all times. They as well as Andy, were prompt, professional, informative, and courteous. All filings and papers were done on time. The settling of an estate with out-of-state property was minimal work for me thanks to Andy and his staff.
He is outstanding.
We were very impressed with the professionalism of both Andy and his staff. Andy does not use “legalize” but explains each step in easy to understand language in a friendly atmosphere. He made a dreaded chore easy and our living trust was completed in a very timely fashion. We highly recommended Andy.
Documents were updated and replaced in a most professional and timely manner.
Mr. Mattson and his complete office staff were always friendly and helpful. As I had made a mistake Mr. Matteson went not just to his knowledge but to others to correct my mistake on paper work. My family and I are very thankful he could correct the problem and have everything come out to our good. Mr. Matteson did an outstanding job.
I just received the final documents from Andrew Matteson settling my parent’s trust. My mother died on August 22, 2001. Eight months seemed extraordinarily long to wait for a process friends assured me would be simple and efficient. Also, every change I made to their trust (e.g. adding my daughter as a trustee for mom in the event something happened to me) cost $487.50 for a “boiler plate” form! The final settlement cost an additional $1125.00 Friends pay one fee & changes do not cost anything. The initial cost was $1100.00 back in 1992. Admittedly, we should have examined the original terms and conditions when we took out our trusts, as I’m sure the provision for extra charges were discussed at that time. However, I never expected each little change to be so costly. Also, I feel I did a lot of the work (research, phone calls, etc.) in order to settle the trust. There were many fees associated with the final settlement (notary, copying, mailing of large quantities of documents) that should have been reimbursed or included in the extra $1125.00. I paid Mr. Matteson’s office. Thus, although I feel the estate was handled legally, I feel Mr. Matteson’s charges are excessive.
Mr. Matteson does the estate planning necessary to properly design your trust according to your input. He provided a comprehensive, understandable final document that I’m confident will do the job that I want done.
Andy always provides excellent service, is very knowledgeable and helpful. He provides answers and explanations that is understandable to the lay person.
Andrew R. Matteson is the best! He is kind, smart, caring, informative, intuitive and has taken care of my needs. He answers all of my concerns and then some. One word for him and his firm…awesome!! I recommend him highly!
Paul and I want to thank you for your professional assistance in reviewing our family trust and showing us what our estates’ value will be in the future. It is very reassuring to know that we have our estate in order so that our son and daughter will be able to carry out our plans when the time comes to activate our trust. We also enjoyed meeting your staff and feel comfortable in knowing that they too can be of assistance to us at any time.
Very polite, courteous, efficient. Andy & office staff gave me the impression of someone who cares, not just a client-attorney relationship. I would highly recommended him. Works very well with my financial advisor.

Thank you again, and you can be certain that we will highly recommend your services.

Mr. Matteson has been my Elder Law Attorney since 1994. During the past nine years he has updated my trust after my wife’s passing. Transferred title of jointly owned property and most recently completed all legal matters on my mothers trust after her passing.

I thought Mr. Matteson did a great job for me upon my husband’s passing. He acted expediently in a very courteous manner and also explained this complicated process by drawing a diagram of my by-pass trust. He relayed all the necessary steps in layman’s terms which helped me to get a clearer picture of all the process. I highly recommend Mr. Matteson.
Mr. Andrew Matteson is and has been most helpful, informative, accommodating and courteous attorney I could have hoped for. When I telephoned with a question or for an appointment, I get an immediate answer or I’m told of a reply within a few hours. When an appointment is scheduled I’m alerted the day before verifying the date and time. I feel most pleased to have Mr. Matteson for my attorney and would be glad to refer him to anyone.
We had a very complex situation with our estate before working with Andy and his staff. Andy knew exactly what it would take to give us peace of mind and accomplish our goals. He was extremely knowledgeable, informative and precise with his work. His office staff went beyond their call of duty to help find information for us. They were always pleasant, proficient and supportive. We were very impressed and pleased with the results and could not believe the fee was so reasonable.
I was referred to Mr. Matteson by Steve Burnett at Hanson & McClain. Mr. Matteson called me the same day and over the phone took my information.

Mrs. Ashcraft & I were very well pleased with the service we received from Mr. Matteson and his staff. We would highly recommend them for any service you might need.
We came to the office after a contact call which was very friendly and sympathetic. The secretary called to reaffirm the appointment and sent very clear computer directions. When we got to the office there was a wait. The appointment before ours took more time. We had magazines to read and the secretary assured us it would be very soon. Both Andrew Matteson and Kim his assistant were very thorough and gracious to Julie (my daughter) and myself. There was also follow up after the appointment. The atmosphere in the office was very rustic and the work done there was very competently done. We were through even with an extra problem in an hour. Both of us were very satisfied with the experience.
Andy, Lorraine & Kim were very helpful & thorough in handling our mother’s estate. They were prompt in returning calls and answered all of our questions.
Moving from Florida, we were expecting a long and difficult transfer of our estate planning. Andrew Matteson and his staff, excellently relieved our concerns. Our California daughter, Robin (also a client) was right when she said, “Don’t worry, they don’t get any better than this team.”
Andrew R. Matteson has been our attorney since 1993. He has always been professional and his advice helpful.
Andrew Matteson and his assistants have been more than helpful to me. They came to my rescue when I really needed it. I will recommend them to anyone and I thank them again.
On 8-25-99 Mr. Matteson set up a Living Trust for us. Now, three years later we felt a review was in order to incorporate minor changes and also take advantage of changes in the law. We set up a meeting to discuss and review the trust. After a few days, we had another meeting with Mr. Matteson to review the changes and sign necessary papers and forms. The meetings were professionally conducted and we continue to be impressed by the knowledge, patience and excellence this office has displayed. We intend to continue to consult with Mr. Matteson every 2 to 3 years to make sure that our trust is current, valid and enforceable. P.S. It is also nice to work with Mr. Matteson’s staff, which is also knowledgeable and accommodating. The same ladies who worked with us in 1999 are still there which helps with the interface to the process.

We went in to see Mr. Matteson to have our trust reviewed and amended. This came about due to the purchase of a CD that we wanted to include in our trust. Mr. Matteson reviewed our original trust and advised us of important changes that needed to be made in the trust in addition to any amendments. His advice and recommendations were very understandable and he was thorough. We feel our visit was worthwhile and we felt comfortable in his office. He and his staff appeared personally interested in us and our problem.

My husband, Ruben and I are parents of two very young daughters. We are a beginning family with building assets and responsibilities. We felt it was necessary to set up a living trust. Andy and Lorraine were wonderful to work with. I felt they were kind, helpful, and very professional. I now feel confident that we made sound decisions for the future of our beautiful little girls.
What a pleasure it was working with Andy Matteson and his staff, on updating our trust. They were professionals and extremely competent. We would be pleased to recommend Andy and his staff to family and friends.
Recently we under took some revisions to our revocable trust. We felt it was necessary to update and make everything current as that when we pass away it will help to simplify and assist those who have been delegated as trustees. With amendments in the law from time to time, that too, suggests changes necessary to keep our trust current. With Mr. Matteson’s attention he gives to facilitate these revisions for us we know we can rely on his expertise. He and his staff are legally fit, skillful and thorough professionals and we would highly recommend his firm.
Andrew Matteson answered my questions clearly and in simple terms. Options were clearly defined. What seemed like a formidable task was accomplished quickly and efficiently. The office staff was gracious and helpful.
I’ve dealt with Mr. Matteson’s office several times for our mutual clients. The entire office is very helpful and knowledgeable. I feel very comfortable in the fact that in the event of our death everything has already been taken care of. I know that Mr. Matteson’s office will assist our successor trustee in any way if necessary. Working with Mr. Matteson and his office has been a pleasure.
My sister & I needed an attorney to settle our mother’s trust following her death last summer. A friend recommended Andy and described him as being very knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. We certainly found that to be the case. He and his staff led us through the process very efficiently. They were all friendly, responsive, and very professional in their dealings with us.
Mr. Matteson taught me well! I’m not a professional but rather I’m an elder in the ranks of “80+”. I was schooled, years ago to expect the teacher (Atty. in your case) to make sure that his knowledge and consideration reached it’s goal through his speaking abilities. This he did well with his “Legalese explanations and when I signed my name I felt good about the transaction. Mr. Matteson is my choice now for legal work.
Mr. Andrew Matteson & his assistant Lorraine Andrew were wonderful, prompt, and professional in helping me settle my Mother-In-Law’s estate. Lorraine did a lot of “hand-holding” and giving instructions that were easy for me to understand. Andy was available for consultation as needed, and a very honest, patient, kind man. I thank Andy & his staff for helping me do a job I wasn’t sure I could handle.

Andy and his staff are very professional. Both my wife and I felt very comfortable with his work and would highly recommend his services.
Mr. Matteson and his staff made the planning of a Living Trust a pleasant experience. I feel all my current needs were met and special consideration to my personal circumstances were given. I know I made the right choice in choosing Mr. Matteson for my Elder Law Attorney.

Within minutes consulting with Andrew, his knowledge to my particular requirements were obvious and then efficiently put into the restatement document. I also salute his staff, as the administrative tasks were efficient and courteous.
When I contacted attorney Matteson’s office and explained I had two letters from my mother’s doctors, and I needed an appointment to talk over for her health care and financial management so I can place her in an assisted care home. I got an appointment quickly. They put all the paper work I needed for me to take over as Power of attorney for her. The only problem I have had is when I phoned updates and asked for some information no one returned a call.
We were very happy with the advice Mr. Matteson gave us. He proceeded to explain the trust to us in a very simple manner instead of “legalize” expressions. This convinced us that he was the man for the job. Our thanks to Andy and his staff for their expertise in all things legal. Also, his gift of pens proved to be of great help in signing all the papers.

My husband and I were very pleased with Mr. Matteson and his staff. The information given about the Living Trust are through and was made very clear to understand. We would highly recommend Mr. Matteson to our friends.

My mother and I returned to Andrew Matteson after my Father’s death for changes in our family trust. While I felt Mr. Matteson was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and sensitive to our needs as a result of our family loss, I felt the fees of the small-required changes were rather excessive. I would certainly return to him for my own family’s trust needs, but I would explain my expectations thoroughly first.

Mr. Matteson was very gracious and helpful as he brought our living will up to date after a 10 year period. He recommended adding our out of state daughter as a third trustee, but we were disappointed that he did not provide a copy of the document for her, nor did she receive notary services from him. This of course meant added expense for us.
We were referred to Andrew Matteson by James D. Mattox and Associates who prepared our original trust when we resided in the Bay Area in 1992. Because of health problems with on of our successor trustees, plus several items that needed to be corrected and updated, we contacted Andy, as recommended.

Although his work was well done, it was awful trying to get a response to questions. It (several times) took me calling the office twice a day for several days to get the question answered or for Mr. Matteson to return my call. These delays really slowed down my ability to get the work of the trust completed.
Mr. Matteson is the forth attorney we have had help us with our trust since we first began in 1985. He has proven himself to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and courteous.

I was co-trustee, met Andy and his staff before my father passed, and then Successor Trustee. There were potential family issues, and I had to consolidate assets because my Father did not. I lived local, set up an office in my home, worked numerous weekends, lost more than two months of vacation time, and 18 months after his death we were ready for final distribution. It was not a fun process. Looking back, Andy (and staff) has earned my respect for the objective and professional advice and assistance they provide. Thank you.

Our revocable Trust was established in 1992 and revised in 1995 due to the death of our oldest daughter. In 1998 my wife’s ability to comprehend much of the details of the trust had diminished and we agreed that our remaining daughter should be involved in case my wife or myself should not be capable for any reason. Andrew Matteson promptly arranged an amendment for her to be a co-trustee. I was hospitalized through most of December 1999 and near death. With the power of attorney she had, my daughter was able to arrange housing for my wife and I in an assisted care home. A few days after I arrived home my wife was hospitalized with a broken leg. She contracted pneumonia and complications. She died February 2, 2000.

Mr. Matteson was involved in setting up our living trust. When my wife died, November 1999 he took over and settled the estate timely.

Andy & his staff set up our Trust a few years ago. We had no knowledge of a Living Trust. With only a high school education you can bet we had some questions.

They were kind, considerate and extremely helpful.
We were completely satisfied with the services provided by Andy Matteson and his staff.

His visit was well worth the time we took to properly prepare our future.
Very professional. Mr. Matteson seems to have a thorough knowledge of estate law. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.
Mr. Matteson and his staff were extremely helpful and professional in setting up our trust. They also set up and administered my fathers trust. They made a difficult time less stressful.
My mother established a living trust with these folks more than 7 years ago. As changes in the law affected her they contacted her for revision. I was impressed enough that we set up a trust through them as well. So far in the process I’m especially pleased with their thoroughness, attention to detail, and Lorraine in the office is always a pleasure to deal with. If the rest of it goes this well; we’ve dealt with the best.
Andy and his staff came very highly recommended to us by a dear friend of ours, and we are delighted to have this opportunity to recommend them to anyone that is in need of their professional services. Ours was a simple “Living Trust and Will” review, but there were some important changes that needed to be made. These were done helpfully and professionally and to our complete satisfaction.
I am not familiar with this new address of internet & email. My contact with Lorraine has been very understandable-I will refer to her if needed.

Our concerns were worked out to our complete satisfaction and all were given proper consideration. I can highly recommend Andrew Matteson and his associates. I feel confident my heirs will receive the same prompt professional attention.
Without Lorraine’s help I would have been lost. She was great! I think the entire process was very professional.
In my opinion Andy did a fantastic job. He not only developed a complete package for our trust, he carefully reviewed it with us. Later we had a couple of questions which were answered completely and timely.
In considering a Living Trust we knew we had to get ourselves educated first.We purchased Schumacher’s book “Understanding Living Trusts” which gave us a good understanding of the Living Trust process. We consulted the suggested Web site in Schumachers book to research and retain a competent Elder Law Attorney to prepare the Trust Documents. After reviewing the Attorneys on the Web Page and also on the Calif. Bar Assn. Web Page we selected Mr.Andrew Matteson to set up the Trust.

I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking at estate planning.

Rated a 10.
I hired Mr. A. Matteson’s firm to set up my Estate trust with my sudden disposition at the time. Andy went the extra mile to immediately set up my estate. Since 4-1-94 he has kept my Estate Trust & plans updated. I give Andy’s firm an outstanding rating.

Andy Matteson is one of the better attorney we had hired. He answered all our questions in terms that WE could understand. I had worked for (never with) California Deputies Attorney General, Deputies District Attorney and Staff Attorney, but never tax attorney (there were three others) that answered our questions with legal mumbo-jumbo.
If ever there is a well synchronized team, this is it. They are a closely knitted group each carrying his full share of responsibility – each being fully responsive. I encountered an emergency, being fully of my own doing. The team went to work and the results made it possible for me to live a more convenient and happier life.
My family and I would like to thank you for all your help with our parent’s Estate. My parents were very wise to have chosen your services. I had no idea how important a Living Trust would be.

It’s good to know all your investments are protected. Many thanks.

Having a person with legal expertise in elder legal matters is a calming effect for elder people. Mr. Matteson and his partners are highly recommended for this nerve wracking, mental maelstrom.
In January of 1993, my wife and I had Mr. Matteson prepare a revocable trust titled the Jacqueline and Cliff xxxxxx Revocable Trust and never once regretted it. In September of 1995 I lost my wife and had to go through all the miseries that are necessary at that sad period. But thanks to being prepared with the trust I didn’t have to go through all the hassles of probate. With the signing of a few documents the Jacqueline and Clifford xxxxxx Trust became the Clifford xxxxxx Trust and passed smoothly into my control. And I can rest easy that when my time comes the trust will pass into the hands of my heirs smoothly according to my wishes.
Andrew Matteson was very helpful to my wife and I on our revocable trust, explaining everything to us in language we could easily understand. He is a very brilliant and helpful young man.
“Andy” is one of the most helpful and sincere persons I have every met as an attorney for my “Trust”. I checked other Estate Planners but felt “Andy” was the one I wanted.

At our first appointment with Andrew R. Matteson, Atty, concerning our estate planning we felt very comfortable with him and know he was very qualified in his field.

We had to make an unusual request to have my husband a recipient of the trust but not have to deal with it due to his incapacity. Greta Jenkins in the Matteson firm was very helpful in accomplishing this and to make it work for us after my death, and not make my husband feel incapacitated.
We were treated very professional (sic) and are very pleased with everything they did for us.

Andrew is a very knowledgeable, well-organized and compassionate professional. He brings a good sense of humor and a nicely down to earth attitude to an area of law that is often terrifying and filled with emotional land mines for most people. He has helped my husband and myself as well as my father-in-law and sister-in-law resolve our estate planning needs in a timely fashion and with a minimum of fuss and turmoil. Andrew’s fees are also very reasonable and a very good value considering the completely customized service that he and his staff provide. I have recommended him to several persons for their estate planning needs and would do so again unequivocally. Andrew also referred me to a wonderful elder law attorney when our needs involved an area of law outside of his own expertise.
My experience to this point has been all that I expected and more. They have promptly advised me of any changes in law that may or do effect my trust. No hesitation in contacting me in person to advise and make changes as appropriate. We are satisfied with them to this point. Hopefully, this will continue should anything happen to one or both of us.
I learned of Mr. Matteson through discussion of trusts, etc. on KFBK. I am widowed and have no children and my estate’s worth was approximately $600,000.00. I attended a seminar hosted by Mr. Matteson on Elder Care and estate planning and was impressed by the presentation made. I ultimately made an appointment with him and the trust provisions were thereby discussed as was the pour-over will, etc. During the discussion, I was very impressed by the professional manners of Mr. Matteson and his entire staff.

Years ago my parents had a trust drawn up by Andrew Matteson. At that time it crossed my mind that my husband and I should have one also. Then after my father passed away I really saw the importance of having a trust. Andy and his staff were so great about handling all the matters that I didn’t know how to do. My mother passed away this year and I became trustee of their estate and realized having a trust was top priority for me. Andy and his staff were so wonderful. They fully explained to me what needed to be done and helped me every step of the way on handling my parents estate in the way they wanted it done. I am so glad my parents had their trust. It made a difficult time emotionally easier not having to worry about doing the right things to honor my parents wishes. Needless to say I already have a trust for my estate. I love my kids as my parents loved theirs and I wanted to make it easier for my children to honor my wishes. Andy and his staff make everything easier it is really more like having friends helping you. Thank you all so much.
Very happy with Andy’s service. Thoroughly explained each step so that I clearly understood. Very much appreciated.

The Matteson law office assisted me in my role as successor trustee for the administration of my Dad’s estate. Initially, I was concerned about having to deal with someone so far removed from the S. F. bay area. My concerns were groundless since their 1-800 telephone number made for frequent and easy communication. I conferred with Mr. Matteson at length two times in my home and twice more briefly by phone. The initial free consultation was outstanding and helped me get off to a confident start on my duties. I dealt mainly with Lorraine Andrew and found her to be of most invaluable assistance in handling the myriad details involved. I was most impressed by how well organized, thorough, efficient, punctual and reliable this office proved to be. Throughout our association I received very clear instructions and answers to my questions. I unreservedly recommend Mr. Matteson and his staff.
