I recently had a personal injury case that I was told was "hopeless" - I've been spoke to Mathew Work and his business partner Jared Clark and was shown I had HOPE! Six months later I just received a check in the mail for over $50,000. If you've been injured and feel like there are good guy, attorneys left, I'm here to tell you there are! Thank you!

Five. Stars for legal talent. Five stars for honesty. I've worked with several law firms in the past and was always frustrated by the pointless updates and redundant emails simply looking for an opportunity to bill against my account. Because of my past experience, I was worried Carlson Work would do the same. Not a chance, they only updated with critical information, they looked to protect my trust resources for important matters, and always communicated succinctly in a way to protect my trust. These people are awesome and ethical!

I've worked with several law firms in the past, and Carlson and Work is above and beyond the best I've experienced. They are prompt, diligent and levelheaded, and all of their approaches. It was obvious throughout settlement that they were far more focused than the opposition. I can't think them enough!

If you're looking for a law firm that won't pull punches, will be blunt, and tell you the difficult truth, even when you don't want to hear it, this is your team. They don't sugarcoat anything, and they were always honest throughout my entire experience with them! 10 stars for honesty.

I had a consult with Mr. Work and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He was very blunt and straight to the point. He didn't beat around the bush, which saved me so much time. It seems like honesty is his strong suit because he, in no way, tried to sugarcoat anything nor try to lie about which party would receive favorable outcomes.

Huge thank you to Mathew, Rebecca and Kenton! What a dynamic group of attorneys. My life has improved so much after retaining this firm and seeing the case to the end. We had ups and downs and difficult days but in the end, they never stop fighting for my family and me. 10 stars!

Take time and interview multiple attorneys . After you do, it will become as clear as it did to me that Carlson & Work is the obvious choice for family law in Reno Nevada. A+ experience with Mathew and his team.

I recently consulted with Mr. Work but in the end, he refused to take my case. At first, I was annoyed by this but in reality, I am very grateful that there's an attorney out there willing to shoot it to you straight when you don't have a legal basis to move forward. Most attorneys would have taken my money and ran. Five stars for the straight forwardness.

I had never needed a service like this before and I was nervous about who to go to. But I got an appointment quickly and they were always helpful. They explained everything to me twice if it was needed to be sure that I understood. I will definitely recommend them if any of my friends or family need something!

I recently hired Rebecca and Mathew to fix the mess that a local attorney had created in my case. My previous experiences made me very nervous about hiring any attorney without screening them thoroughly. I wish I would have contacted this firm from the beginning. My experience was night and day! They were patient, direct and knowledgeable throughout. I probably paid more than I should have to complete this case because they had so much to clean up but boy did they do a remarkable job. Don't think twice. These people are incredible!

I found Carlson & Work through a close family friend who strongly recommended Rebecca. I feel so lucky to have found her. She fought tooth and nail for my family and in the end, achieved life-changing results. Rebecca is in the business of changing lives for the better! She definitely changed our lives and our families lives for the better. I can't think Rebecca enough for having mine and my families back.

Rebecca Carlson is an absolute bulldog! I needed a fighter to stand up against the so-called "men's rights attorney" and Rebecca absolutely out-classed, outsmarted and was overall the attorney we needed to put a bully in her place! If I've learned anything while looking for an attorney, it's that the attorneys who brag about how tough they are are the ones quickest to tuck their tails between their legs when an actual sophisticated attorney is it on the other side of the court room. I made the mistake by hiring a slimy attorney before Rebecca. I've lived in Reno for years and I have seen all of the tough talking commercials. This is not Rebecca Carlson's mode of operation. Rebecca is all about results and she delivered. A+

I recently had the opportunity to work with Phil Koci and Kenton Karrasch and was very impressed with the teamwork they both showed. Kenton initially handled the divorce portion of my case and then once things were complete to my extreme satisfaction, I was lucky enough to work with Phil to modify my estate and upgrade the estate documents. They were prompt, thorough and detailed with all of our correspondences. These people rock. I highly recommend Carlson & Work to anyone looking for a five star law firm !

Rebecca Carlson and her team, Lauren, Taylor, Phil, Kenton were all so lovely to work with. They kept me up to speed with the unfolding of my case and always took the time to be patient and diligent when answering my questions. The process was made so much easier because of their patients. If you’re looking for a team of legal experts, ready to fight for you, look no further. The Carlson & Work team ROCKS

10 Stars! I know lawyers get a bad wrap but this law firm ended up becoming more like family than a law firm to my family. I went through a very rough and heart breaking divorce. I felt totally lost. I can’t thank Rebecca Carlson and her team enough for being my North Star. Each step of the way, I knew what was going to happen and Rebecca’s dedication to me and my children is forever something I will be thankful for. If you were like me, scrolling through the list of lawyers to navigate the next couple rough months through, let me tell you, this is the best firm in Reno. No questions asked and there’s not even a close second. Thank you all!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Rebecca Carlson, Lauren Driscoll and attorneys Phil Koci. They both have their own personalities and styles but they blended well together and worked well as a team. I was always informed and most importantly they did incredible legal work. I went to court with attorney Koci and actually won my case at the very first hearing. FIVE STARS!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Carlson & Work on two separate family law matters. The first a Custody case and the second a TPO case. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome on both. They are top-flight, honest and aggressive attorneys. I was informed throughout the entire process and felt incredibly comfortable with the representation, preparation and communication throughout. If you’re looking for an honest, fair and trustworthy attorney, this is your firm. I hope I don’t need them again in the future but if I do it’s a relief to know that they are out there. It’s hard to come by professionals who hold their work product is such high regard.

Mat Work and his team are so communicative and responsive, which in my opinion is the most important aspect for an attorney/law firm. The knowledge and professionalism that him and his staff bring is so refreshing. At the end of the day they treat you like a person with compassion and not just another "client.". I highly recommend Carlson & Work. 🔥

Update:I was contacted shortly after leaving this review and they were extremely cooperative and understanding of my sons situation. They agreed to set up a consultation for my son TODAY 😃🙏. Thank you for your time and you have no idea how much you are appreciated right now.Original:The website says same day consultation but when you call to schedule you are told weeks out. Its an emergency case with a hearing scheduled less for than 24 hours after being served and I'm being told weeks after they state in black and white same day.

I was recently charged with a DUI and retained Mathew Work. They say a good lawyer makes all the difference, they do. Before meeting with Mathew, I met with one of the billboard-type attorneys. The entire meeting was the [other] attorney bragging about all the people he knew and how he would “walk me” through the process. Basically, how he was going to help me get convicted. Mathew, on the other hand, explained the entire process of a DUI conviction, what the DA would need and what he would attack. He did just that, three days later, all charges were DROPPED! He. Is. The. Real. DEAL!

I called the law office with a couple of questions. Before I could get the words out, they wanted to set me up with an appointment for $200.However after speaking with Matt York and answering my questions I was very satisfied and I am looking for a positive future relationship

Matthew and Rebeca were incredible to work with. At every turn, they returned our emails, or phone calls and were there for us whenever we needed to speak. I can’t thank them enough for getting me through such a difficult time. I would highly recommend Matthew and his team to anyone looking for an attorney in Reno. They were missed and compassionate and I can’t thank them enough for bringing a human element to my case. They changed my life in so many positive ways.

Matthew and his team were nothing short of Lifesavers. They came through for me when I needed them the most. My life has done a complete shift since meeting Matthew, all for the better.

I’ve know Mathew for years and he has helped me and a number of my friends out over the years. He will always put his clients first. There is nothing this attorney hasn’t seen. Very professional, friendly, thorough and does an awesome job explaining the legal side of things in lamemens terms. Highly recommend.

When seeking legal representation, there were many factors that I considered. Chief among them were Legal Competence, Trial Experience, and Accessibility. After interviewing multiple attorney's in the Reno area, Mathew was the clear choice to represent my case.As a former Deputy City Attorney with the City of Reno, Mathew is not only exceptionally well-versed with regards to the letter and spirit of the law, but also, he has a unique understanding of its application within the context of the local judicial environment there in Northern Nevada. Looking beyond his proven track record of successful litigation, Mathew is a warm, decent human being. I will continue to work with him in the future and would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation.

Work Law is the most honest and hard-working representation you will ever experience. Whether you are in need of family, defense, or business law, look no further than Work Law. Most importantly you get direct contact with Mr. Work. You will not be treated as "a number" like so many other law firms around. You will know he cares about your case. He will work hard to fight for you and you will go to court knowing all the different possible outcomes and what every step entails. Trust me when I say Work Law will go to court for you with the finest representation you will ever come across.
Mark C.
04:01 11 Oct 17
I have never met a more honest person in my life. Mathew always brings his "A" game, day in and day out. If you want an attorney that strengthens his argument, instead of raising his voice to get his point across, Mathew Work is your go to guy. He is by your side every step of the way.
Casey C.

This team knows how to approach delicate situations to maximize client advantage. My family appreciates the one on one family feel, with experience and expertise to match. Highly recommend.
