Incredible service and follow thru.

Incredible service by Matt Rygh and his staff. My business had an issue with another business that was attempting to bully us with threats of a lawsuit. Attorney Rygh did several hours of research and penned a letter, resulting in complete dropping of the case. Attorney Rygh was very thorough with... his approach to the issue and explained what he was to do. He did not, and cannot promise results, as nothing in life is certain, however with the job he did, it made us rest much much easier. Definitely utilize this law firm for your business needs.

Custody Divorce

Excellent professional, he was super helpful and available for every new detail related to my case. I won the custody of my kids back. If you want to invest your money in a reliable honest and caring attorney Matt is the right fit for your money.

Divorce

Matt worked closely with me through out the process. His knowledge and response was outstanding. I have already recommended Matt to a friend and will continue to do so.

Knowledgeable, Caring and RESULTS!

The general perception that Attorneys are only out for the best interest does not apply here. Matt Rygh is not just Extremely Knowledgeable, but caring, compassionate about his job, and willing to go that extra mile. At the end of the day those are great characteristics, but more important is that Ma...tt Rygh definitely provides positive results!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
