Matthew Paul Blouin

Matt is comforting, knowledgeable, kind and has the capacity to “break down” legal language expeditiously. He is available and consistently present despite managing two offices. He factors in the needs of opposing parties and anticipates outcome with all fairness. When opposing parties refuse to... negotiate, Matt advocates firmly. Our family highly recommends Matt and we thank him for his advocacy for our family.

I hired Mr Blouin to help me get legal custody, child support, revised visitation, and other modifications. Matthew meticulously read over my divorce and custody agreements, and made suggestions for my case that I would have overlooked. From the first meeting I knew he was the right lawyer. I had m...et with other lawyers, and by far, Matthew had the most extensive knowledge of family law. He took a lot of notes and drafted my requests based on our talk. In court, he was extremely professional. My ex was a nightmare to deal with, but Matthew was composed the whole time. In the end, the court ruled in my favor, and the modifications were more than I could have hoped for. I got full custody, and Matthew was also able to negotiate other terms that I thought would take even longer. I have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I thank Matthew for that. My daughters life is now more stable. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Matthew!

I hired Attorney Matthew Blouin and the case was only a week away. I was very happy with the outcome and the way the case was handled by him. He was always quick to respond with any questions and concerns I had and explained everything to me and what was the best way to handle certain situations. He ...went above and beyond for me and I will retain him if ever needed in the future. I highly recommend him, he knows what he is doing and does it well.

My wife served me papers 1 week before my trial date. I needed to make a quick decision on finding someone to represent my case. I found Mathew through a referral service. I contacted him on the phone and he met me at a McDonalds to discuss my case a day later. I gave him the best overview of the ev...ents leading to our separation. And, without going into details here, I provided him with concerning details about my wife's behavior that I thought would be very relevant to the courts decision. When we went into the pre-trial conference with the apposing council, he was not capable of speaking for me at all because he did not know how to answer the questions being asked. Further, he conceded to almost every demand made by apposing. I put my trust that he knew what he was doing because none of the process was explained to me prior to the meeting and I believed the process was just the first steps in bartering for fair equity. He had me signing away all kinds of support before we even received the decision from the courts for temporary orders. Although he assured me that this was all "temporary" I later learned that this temporary orders decision was far from temporary and had set the precedent for all things going forward. I had asked him before our date if he believed we had enough time to share information between each other before going into the courtroom and he assured me that we were well prepared. When we went before the judge, he brought up none of the concerning information that I had provided him and ultimately the judge granted full custody of my daughter to my wife who had moved out of our home and had taken my daughter with her. He has caused irreparable damage to my case. I requested a refund for the thousands he took from me for this poor example of representation. Of course I was refused any type of reimbursement at all.

Matt represented me on a guardianship case. I am the paternal grandmother and filed for and had temporary guardianship of my 9 year old granddaughter. The process had already begun when I retained Matt. It was a difficult case and the judge was not fond of me. I was going up against my son and ha...d custody for 8 months the new judge took over and returned my granddaughter, against the recommendations of the Guardian Ad Litem, which the court appointed to investigate and make recommendations for the child's best interest. She was returned before the trial date. Two months later we went to trial and it was not easy going. The judge was very one sided and allowed my son to threaten Matt and use vulgar language, he was totally disrespectful and observing counsel approached me after the trial and said the judge would never give the child to my son. I explained she already had. The judge was very lenient with my son but tough with Matt. We decided we were probably not going to change the judges mind but prepare for appellate court, that's how bad the odds were against us. Then on June 16, 2014 the judge returned my granddaughter and my son was given visits, ordered to go to anger management and counseling. We had victory and I now have my granddaughter. thank you Matt and also Mark Lee for also providing counsel on this matter. Do not hesitate to retain Matt if you have a similar issue. A heartfelt thanks to Matt and Mark.
