Attorney Information
Overview
Independence divorce attorney Matthew Branson is drawn to family law because of his personal experience.
“I like helping hurt families,” Mr. Branson said. “My wife and I have been foster parents for a number of years, and have seen how families can really struggle. Practicing family law lets me roll up my sleeves and try to make things better.”
Mr. Branson is a self-described “legal nerd” and loves researching all the unique and challenging situations. He also considers himself unflappable. No matter how crazy or chaotic a situation might be, he provides a calm and helpful voice of reason.
“It’s going to be better,” he said. “No matter how desperate it looks, we are going to find you a new and workable ‘normal.’ Litigation can be messy, but we will get through it and come out on the other end.”
