AMAZING!!!!

Hands down one of the best decisions I ever made was hiring Matt as my attorney!!! My case was not the “normal” divorce.... I had all the typical stuff like a child, home, cars and 401ks but in a same sex marriage. When I went in for my consult I knew in the first 2 mins I was going to hire Matt. I d...idn’t want someone to sugar coat things for me or make false promises just so I would spend lots of money and be on an emotional roller coaster the whole time. Matt was kind but very direct and to the point. He won’t promise you anything he can’t actually follow through on. I had TONS of questions and never once did he make me feel like I was an inconvenience or stupid for asking them! He handled all my craziness like a champ! Matt if your reading this THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything! I am so incredibly blessed that you had my back !

Terrific Attorney

Matt is an honest and personable Attorney. I approached him after trying few attorneys with good reviews on Avvo.com. He instantly picked up my call while he was driving home from work. He apparently pulled over and listened to my frantic call very patiently, explaining his services and costs very c...learly and urging me to come in for a free consultation. Upon meeting him in person and conversing with him for an hour, I instantly made up my mind and signed him up. His para-legal Ms. Brittany is an equally great, patient and diligent person and assisted Matt with my case very professionally. Matt was by my side all through my divorce offering me valuable advise and eventually helped me come out with positive outcomes. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a compassionate, upbeat, honest and an extremely communicative attorney. Thanks Matt!

great competent lawyer

I have a child support modification and I was referred to Mr. Tyson. I got screwed by the State of Texas and was really upset. After meeting him and hiring him I felt so much better about the situation. He has a great attitude and is very upfront and honest. The billing was very open and itemized. Th...e end result is I got a favorable ruling and no longer will have to pay child support for a year. Very satisfied.

Grateful

When my wife was murdered, her parents took my children and filed for custody. Matt won my children back. Before I met Matt, I must have talked with a hundred lawyers or more. When I hired Matt a tremendous weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt like Matt was confident about my case and he w...as great in the courtroom. I put all my trust in him knowing that I would get my kids back. Matt was available for me when I needed him. I got his personal cell phone so that I could call or text him with any question right away. I felt like he took my case as personally as I did. He was well worth every penny I spent. In the courtroom Matt is a kick ass lawyer. He fought like hell every minute during the trial. His passion showed in the courtroom and the judge knew he came to fight. He plays no games when it comes to the situation at hand. He is 100% in the moment fighting for you the entire way. Matt has my permission to put anyone in contact with me over the phone at anytime. I’d be happy to answer any questions about being a client or my experience with Matt. It’s the least I can do for everything he has done for me and my family. Thanks again Matt.

BEST Houston Family Law Attorney

When it comes to family law - Matt is an excellent attorney and I would recommend him bar none. I came to him with a strange family law situation and he laid out all the options in a clear, coherent manner. He treats you with respect and confidence and executes on his word. He is extremely cost-consc...ious and is not trying to throw you for a loop or waste your time/money. His team was nothing short of professional, courteous and efficient. I could not give them a stronger recommendation.

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."
