Law Offices of Matthew C. Bishop, Inc.

I cannot recommend my attorney enough. I came to him during an extremely difficult and complicated custody situation involving my child’s father and his former girlfriend. It was an emotional and stressful situation, and I honestly wasn’t sure how things would turn out. What impressed me most was not only his knowledge and experience, but the way he handled everything with professionalism, patience, and genuine understanding. He was able to help navigate an incredibly difficult situation while also helping smooth things over between my child’s father and me. Because of the way everything was handled, we have been able to move forward in a much healthier direction, and today my child’s father and I are co-parenting wonderfully. That outcome means more to me than I can put into words. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance, communication, and the way he advocated for me while also helping create a path toward a better co-parenting relationship. Going through a custody matter can be overwhelming, but having the right attorney by your side makes such a difference. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend him. I will always be grateful for the role he played in helping my family get to a much better place.

If you need to go to court, this is the guy you want on your side. He prepares meticulously and does not enter a courtroom to LOSE. Don't let his laid-back demeanor fool you—he is wicked smart, an absolute powerhouse, and more than professional in the courtroom. I would 100 percent never want to be opposing him in court, that's for sure. When I was facing the prospect of needing a family law attorney, I had no idea where to start in this highly stressful and emotional time. I was lucky enough to be familiar with two Napa Sheriff court bailiffs. These gentlemen both referred me to Matt Bishop. One told me that if he ever had to sit on the other side of the table, the only person he would want in his corner was Matt Bishop. I ended up needing Matt Bishop more than I ever realized. I was facing a separation. This turned into a muliti year high conflict divorce with complex asset division, business issues, child custody, child support, a move away request, mediation, custody evaluation, private mediation, therapists, guardian ad litem, supervised visitation, high asset property sales, criminal court dealings, restraining orders, depositions, multiple hearings and domestic violence issues. He was the rock and advocate I needed in my corner. He kept myself, my children, and our assets safe. He speaks plainly and maintains honesty, telling you the hard truths you need to hear. Anytime a complex asset division, legal hurdle, or business issue arises where he doesn't immediately know the answer, he finds the professional needed to advise and get the job done. His billing is fair, and he is a man of deep integrity who truly helps people. I have since confidently referred him to others for both family and business matters, and he has helped them to complete satisfaction as well. He gave me my peace of mind at every turn. If you need to go to court, this is the guy you want on your side.

Mr. Bishop has provided guidance to me on several occasions and was really thoughtful and efficient with each matter. I have referred several friends and family members to him. He is a great lawyer and I'm glad I have him on my side.

A couple of years ago, one of our employees was going through a custody issue involving CPS with his children’s mother. He came to us for help finding a lawyer and navigating the legal system. My wife and I reached out to a couple different attorneys who basically said the whole process was going to take 4 to 6 months; that’s a long time for kids to be displaced from their home . Matt Bishop and his team compassionately listened to our complicated issue (because what legal problem isn’t complex) but, broke down the process simply. The kids were returned home to their dad within 2 1/2 weeks. Some of the things that Matt did that ease our mind included hiring a translator, communicating with us regularly, and even crack a couple jokes that made us smile when things felt heavy. We will be forever grateful to Matt Bishop and his team for all their help.

I highly recommend Matt Bishop and his firm. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions thoroughly, and made sure I understood my options every step of the way. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome. If you’re looking for an attorney you can trust and rely on, I would highly recommend Matt Bishop.
