I was anxious and excited about the interview I had with Matthew. I was initially told that it was related to Family Law Matters but not a specific issue or question. With such a broad subject I was unfortunately unprepared going into the interview. However, Matthew was very easy to speak to and once I learned that the interview dealt with a specific topic, which I was confident in discussing, my nervousness dissipated quickly. I would appreciate the opportunity to give more information in the future relative to family law matters here in Florida. Just give me a heads up on the specific topic beforehand
