Legal Practice Areas

Matthews & Jaasma, L.L.P. was founded to provide exceptional yet affordable legal help and personal service to those in need.

“I’ve never called a lawyer before” or “I never thought I’d need a lawyer” is one of the first things most of our clients say when they call. We understand. Facing the probate process after losing a loved one is often difficult emotionally. When something life-altering does happen, you need someone you can trust to listen to you, to help you understand your options, and to work hard to help you in your time of need.

Can I afford an attorney?

The cost of legal services is always a concern. We are proud that we can keep our fees lower than many other lawyers because we keep our operating expenses low. We provide flat fees for simple wills and trusts. Contact us to discuss your legal issue and the best approach to your particular case.
