Welcome

Welcome to the Law Office of Deborah G. Matthews – the first step toward the peace of mind that comes with comprehensive estate planning, trust and estate administration, probate, and related legal matters.

In my practice I am devoted to working with my clients and their loved ones.  Working in a confidential and friendly atmosphere, I listen carefully to the unique concerns and circumstances of each client and seek to build a partnership that creates a practical approach to address each client’s individual needs.

Licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Maryland, and the District of Columbia, I represent clients throughout our region.  I also am admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Tax Court.

Based on peer reviews of my adherence to ethical standards and my legal ability, I am honored to be rated AV, the highest ranking by Martindale-Hubbell.

I am also active in my community, focusing on the needs of children and the elderly.
