Super Helpful!!!

Matt and his firm help me get out of a situation. I was in a bad position, with terminating child support, and his team came together and restored my serenity. Thank you once again, Kurt

My Divorce

Mr. Tyson handle my divorce after 30 years of marriage. It was the hardest thing I have gone through in my life and he walked me through the entire process. He was always respectful, kind and considerate all while making certain my interest were protected. I would hire him a million times over!

The Best

I have a hard time putting into words how GREAT Matt was when it came to my criminal assault case. Not only Matt but his entire staff and network of lawyers all took my case into consideration and I felt like I had a whole team of defense behind me. The State of Texas was not cutting me any slack and... my case was being drawn out for months as I fought for a win. However, once my lawyer was changed to Matt Tyson I found it easier to breath and a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Within a few court settings Matt was ready to take my case to trial but being the no-nonsense lawyer that he is, the State broke down and granted me a chance for DISMISSAL. I believe they knew he would have torn their arguments apart in trial. If it had not been for Matt Tyson I'm not so sure the outcome would have been so bright. I'll be free of these charges soon and I will move forward with Matt in my custody case to see my daughter. I will always refer people to Matt for their family and criminal cases.

Custody Advice

Mr. Tyson offered advice on family custody issues, and was very helpful, curious, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him

Made a Difficult Situation Easier to Deal With :-)

Mr. Tyson was one of the attorneys on my divorce case which started around January 2015. During our work together, he demonstrated much knowledge of the process and statutes concerning my case. If for some reason Mr. Tyson was not certain of an answer to a question I might have had, Mr. Tyson went ...out of his way to obtain the answer, and follow up promptly. This was very settling to me as I appreciated the dual communication. This was especially settling because being in the loop helped my stress levels and the health issues that were occurring due to the stress were more manageable. .I may have been less than a superior client and maybe a little short fused because of the stress, anger, and sadness I was feeling during the proceedings. I might have unintentionally redirected that stress to Mr. Tyson, however, he took it like a champ and conducted himself professionally when responding to me and still was able to correct any misconceptions I may have had about the process. Mr. Tyson was very encouraging and would not end our conversation until he knew that I was more hopeful and I felt encouraged. I come from a federal law enforcement background, so I thought the divorce court system was similar to the federal court system and how each entity dealt with their cases. Well this was truly a learning process and with the assistance of Mr. Tyson I was able to understand the differences. Although a young attorney, Mr. Tyson's knowledge, professionalism, and work ethic supersede other attorneys that have been licensed for over 20 years. I strongly recommend Mr. Tyson to represent anyone I know. He is not an attorney that treats their client like a number or a paycheck. Mr. Tyson takes pride in his job and doing the best for his client.

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."
