Matthew Anthony Streff

Worst lawyer I have ever worked with. Started with him hoping he can assist in obtaining permanent residency and work permit. At the time i had an I-20. He used all the sweet words to convince me he's up for the task and after I hired him that's when his games began. He would promise to call my empl...oyer and explain how he would get me the work permit after the expiration my OPT but he would never call. Then he'd call me with some BS excuses as to why he couldn't make it to call my employer. After a while my employer told me this guy is a joke and he won't wait for his call any longer since he actually never called as he promised. Almost 6 months later and he had not filled anything despite having paid. I found another lawyer and all my paper work were taken care off within a month and obtained a work permit three week which Mathew could not get in 6 months. I'd never recommend anyone to him.

If you would like to know more please contact me and I would be very happy to help your case. We are still waiting for the hard copy of our documentation to be returned. Even the Minnesota bar doesn't seem to have any control over getting this "attorney" to return our file to us. I could go on for m...any pages which is why you are best contacting me for further information.

Be so very careful with this attorney. He does not care about representing your case. It all seemed great when we first hired him back in the beginning of December 2018, but then he became more and more distant as soon as he had access to our checking account. He knew of our special scenario to hav...e the papers filed ASAP, he knew my husband had already dished out $360 for his medical exam that expired in 60 days of hire date. He knew we already had the forms filled out for him, we just needed a review and the "insurance" of having an attorney sign off on the papers. We kept getting excuse after excuse for why he had not even sent drafts over to us. We provided anything and everything we needed to support our case in a timely manner. After the medical exam expired, he promised that "taking of one month of payments" would cover the cost of not filing within the well-known time limit we made extremely clear to him. After weekly excuses or, just straight up not responding, of why he had not sent the drafts over for review, we called his office and wanted to terminate the relationship. Funny enough we actually heard from after 10 minutes of calling to say the drafts would be ready that week. We FINALLY received our drafts February 26, 2019. Now he knew we had only another 60 days to file after spending yet another $100 to renew the medical papers beginning of March 2019. We were told that he would file the papers that week. Another 1-2 weeks goes by, nothing. After trying to contact him over and over for updates, we were yet again made empty promises on filing completion. After making it clear we needed them filed by April, we still had not heard from him. My husband contacts him yet again for an update April 1st, and he completely snaps on him. I have attached a screenshot of his unprofessional manner. I can't believe this guy still had a business if that's how he reacts to pressure. Needless to say we fired him. Now we are out $700, the medical fees, and 4 months of our lives put on hold just to cater to this excuse of a man. I have been working 2, now 3 jobs to support the both of us, trying to get his work verification sent out so I can maybe have a life outside of work. Relying on Matthew Streff, and giving him countless chances was the worst decision of my life. If you want an attorney who is in communication with you in a timely manner or follows through, look somewhere else.
