Past Lawyer
Matt Thiel is the best Lawyer I have ever worked with. He represented my case with dignity and respect. He also went so far as to research and educate himself on our specific case to understand the complex issues involved. He went above and beyond the call of duty to be there when things were tough and encouraged hope for a conclusion. His commitment to me as a client will always be appreciated.

The help I needed
I had the good fortune to meet Matt through a charitable community event. His genuine compassion and integrity when dealing with others stood out in my memory. When I found myself in need of legal advice, it was his I sought. Through a complex business dispute that involved multiple parties and state and federal agencies, Matt was knowledgeable and informative during the entire process. He was also honest and thoughtful about legal remedies that were available. He helped me navigate the sometimes, daunting tasks and was ultimately responsible for the best possible positive outcome. I have often utilized his advice and services to take a more proactive stance when it comes to legal questions. With Matt as my attorney, I feel assured my business decisions are timely and appropriate. And the peace of mind gained regarding estate planning and family law matters is immeasurable. No one wants to go through life’s inevitable legal challenges, and it’s especially difficult to find someone you can trust to put all of their effort into getting you through it. I have recommended Matt to many of my friends and business associates, knowing he would approach each case with same professionalism he has shown me. I highly recommend his services to others and I am comforted to know he’s there for me if the need arises.

Highly professional and very effective
Matt was instrumental in providing me with sound legal guidance and effective assistance in an employment related case against the State of Montana. Matt's superb expertise in employment law, knowledge of state practices and valuable advice ensured that my case was resolved satisfactorily and with a minimum of expense avoiding lengthy litigation. Matt has also assisted me with a last will and testament and again I was very pleased with his and his office's services. I have always been very impressed with Matt's professionalism, calm demeanor, and results oriented counseling.

Wonderful experenced Lawyer
Matt is a brilliant and likeable attorney. He certainly knows estate law and has the ability to work through the situation for the most optimal outcome for his client. He is very down to earth; listens well; asks insightful questions and is definitely not arrogant. My probate case went on for several years and split off with other issues. Matt hung in there with me when another lawyer helping me in Denver died in the mist of the case, Matt got up to speed so I could continue to the finish line. What’s funny I live in Colorado and all these years since 2009, have never met Matt, yet I know him well. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a solid, world class-smart, non-nonsense attorney.
