We have not found any instances of professional misconduct for this lawyer.
Extremely supportive
In 2019 I was in a head on collision with an intoxicated driver. I was injured very badly and spent a great deal of time in recovery. Selecting an attorney when you can't walk and have a brain injury is not easy. But Matt made the decision for me by being obviously the best person to hire. He came to my house and met with me which was preferable given my condition.
After our initial meeting, Matt and I had meetings either by phone or online due to Covid. Due to the nature of my injuries it took me two years before I could pursue my settlement. During that time Matt was very helpful. First, he is very good at explaining in lay person's terms all that is going on. At no point did I not feel I had a good understanding of the legal process. Secondly, Matt helped me deal with how to live my life with this legal process hanging over my head. The psychology of going through a legal process is something no one anticipates and can be at times overwhelming. He is very patient and I greatly appreciated that. His assistant Abbie is also nothing by professional and kind. They both were supportive during the final phases of my settlement which were the hardest. Matt always stuck to the facts and made it very clear to me what I could and could not expect. This ultimately made the process so much better. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I had unrealistic ideas about my settlement/arbitration. If I had to do things all over again, I would not change anything.

Practice area
Attorney Matthew A. DeVos was born and raised in Baldwin, Wisconsin, a small town in the northwestern part of the state. He is a 1998 graduate of Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota and a 2001 graduate of the Unversity of Wisconsin Law School.
Matt has dedicated his legal career to handling personal injury cases. He has established a track record and reputation of success and has helped many hundreds of clients. He does not represent insurance companies and will only represent plaintiffs--the injury victim. From pre-lawsuit settlements to jury trials, he has handled a wide range of injury and accident cases such as automobile collisions, motorcycle accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, dangerous and defective products, falling merchandise, construction site accidents, nursing home neglect, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical negligence, workplace injuries...and the list could go on.
Matt believes strongly that proper representation can only come through an honest, personalized and trusting relationship between a lawyer and a client. Because no two cases are ever the same and there is no "cookie cutter" method of handling an injury case, the best results can only be achieved through an effective attorney-client relationship.
Matt resides in McFarland with his wife and three daughters. Being very active in the community, he is a member of the First United Methodist Church in downtown Madison, serving as President of the First United Methodist Church Foundation (2014-2018) as well as Co-Chancellor to the Wisconsin Conference of the First United Methodist Church (2015). He is also an active member of Business Networking International and the Capital City Chapter of Muskies, Inc. During the winter months, Matt coaches youth girls basketball in McFarland and in the summer he does his best to find at least some spare time for his favorite outdoor recreational pursuit: Muskie fishing.

Dog Attack & Bites
Matt was great from the start. He was very friendly and personable and explained all of our options very clearly. He answered all of our questions and concerns. He was prompt in all of our communications and kept us well informed of what was happening and what to expect next.

An Elite Attorney on Top of His Game
My contact, consulting and hiring Attorney DeVos spans 5 years. It has been a rewarding experience. Within those years, I hired him to represent me in 3 Injury Cases and a Workman's Compensation Case. In each one of those cases Attorney DeVos exceed my expectations. He explained each steps of the legal process clearly and concise. He investigated the facts in my cases thoroughly and obtained a fair settlement in each of the 4 cases. I wouldn't hesitate hiring him AGAIN!

Grateful for Matt DeVos!
When I needed a personal injury attorney, I was looking for one who was knowledgeable, experienced, personable, ethical, supportive, and willing to work hard for clients. I was so fortunate to find Matt DeVos. My case was a bit complicated and other attorneys weren't willing to take it on -- but Matt was and he did a great job for me. I know he will for you as well.

Attorney Matt DeVos Recommendation
I have had the opportunity to work with Attorney Matt DeVos twice now in the past ~15 years, one case that went to trial, one that reached an advanced settlement.
In both cases, I found Matt to be highly professional, ethical, highly organized, patient, and strategic thinking. Matt has a calm, professional, down to earth communication style that helps translate much of the legal terminology/processes into something that is understandable to his clients. Be it in court in front of a jury, or working behind the scenes negotiating a settlement, I found Matt to always keep my best interests in mind to reach successful outcomes. He is a complete and total advocate for his clients.
I highly recommend Attorney Matt DeVos and would definitely utilize his services again if needed.

Matt is the BEST !
Matt knows what he is doing ! He understands the law and would explain things to me in detail so I could understand. I was in an auto accident and the final settlement was more than I even imagined !! I did not worry at all about the final result because any time I spoke with Matt he explained where the process was at. And any time I met with Matt, he would show me in detail how everything was broken down.
I sent all of my bills from the accident (hospital, ambulance, etc.) to Abbie who is the Paralegal for Matt. Letters were sent to all of these vendors. I didn't have to worry about any bills going to collection. Abbie knows what she is doing and she would always get back to me in a timely fashion.
Before Matt would make any decision with regard to accepting/declining any type of settlement offer, he would explain what was going on and what was offered and asked for permission to either accept/reject the offer. Matt keeps you in the loop on where the process is. You never need to wonder. He is very open and up front. Matt is kind and patient and treats you with respect. He is very trustworthy and I recommend him to anyone who has been injured. He will not let you down. If I ever need help regarding a personal injury, I will contact Matt again ! He is the best !

Excellent Lawyer
We highly recommend Matt. He did a superb job wading through all the medical bills from our auto accident after our own insurance company stopped paying. He took the bull by the horns and got our case settled in a timely manner. We appreciate the fact that Matt did not tell us we would receive a settlement that was unattainable, but was very conservative. In the end, the settlement was substantially higher then we expected. He worked closely with us and was clear and concise in his conversations.
His assistant, Abbie, was also very much involved in our case and her line of communication was impeccable. Matt is the only lawyer we would go to if the need arises.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Matt was opposing counsel on a prenuptual agreement, and I believe he was very diligent and conscientious of the work he was performing for his client. I now see him taking mostly Personal Injury cases, and I am amazed with the accuracy in which he is able to analyze cases. If I had a personal injury issue, I know he is the Attorney I would hire."
