This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lazy Attorney

I've spent $34,000 and all he wants to do is settle constantly. Doesn't listen to client, does not respond within reasonable time and disappears multiple times even prior to Temporary Order hearing. Sent one of his associate lawyers to our first temporary orders hearing that new nothing about the cas...e. Brooke Raybon who would not even provide her cell number so we could text back and forth during Zoom hearing. Something seriously wrong at this Firm

Just Amazing

He represented me in a divorce mediation with 2 children and got me a better deal than I could have hoped for. Don’t look any further, Matt is your guy. He responded to all my questions quickly.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic! Highly recommended!!

In a difficult, confusing, or complicated situation, individuals may find themselves desperately seeking the guidance of a well-prepared and reliable attorney. I thank God my daughter and I found Matt Tyson. Matt made the process so much easier and gave us peace of mind in a stressful but successf...ul outcome. He help my daughter understand the process and gave her his personal phone number in case that she had a question about her case. The members of his law firm are excellent, professional and very client service focused. I can tell you based in our experience with Mr. Tyson that he have excellent knowledge of the law and good judgment to fight for you. He provided to my daughter sound, clear and practical legal advise. He is very straight forward and told us what to expect each step of the way. My daughter used Mr. Tyson for custody, he is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier, he did a great job. Thank you very much Matt! Sincerely, Wanda Muniz/ Grace Marie Cautino Muniz

Julia Bancroft

Family lawyer | Sep 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Matt is an extremely capable attorney, and an honest and worthy opponent. Matt took a case for a formerly Pro Se mother who suddenly had no job and nowhere to stay. Matt was able to come up with solutions and ideas that I had not considered when I was working on behalf of the father. It could have been an extremely difficult and expensive case for both parties, as they each were wanting sole custody, or a 50/50 with each insisting on exclusive rights. Matt went above and beyond to do the right thing for his client, and in the end, help reach a 50/50 that all parties, and the kiddo, were excited about. Matt does what he says, and goes out of his way to do it WELL! A client would be privileged to have Matt as their counsel."
