I found Mat Rueda when things were as bad as they could be for our family. Mr.Rueda was professional, patient, informative and led our family through the courts with a confidence that only comes from knowing his profession very well. I was impressed that other attorneys like and respect him and he ...knew how to elicit a productive conversation. He thought outside the box, kept focused, and achieved our goals consistently. Without Mr. Rueda, I am not sure how our case would have turned out. I found Mat Rueda to be an excellent attorney and a good person. I would confidently recommend Mr. Rueda to anyone seeking a family attorney.

Mr. Rueda went beyond any attorney I spoke with about my divorce case. He was very honest with me and thorough through each step of the process. He always made time to answer my questions as well as keep me informed. I have already referred a close friend to Mr. Rueda as I am confident he will treat... her case with as much respect and care as he has mine.

Mr. Rueda represented me in a divorce in 2012. This was a trying time for me and my daughter. Mr Rueda not only worked with me and "held my hand" every step of the way, but also made me feel comfortable with the process. I won custody of my daughter and could not be happier. He is an amazing atto...rney and man. I have told all of my friends and family about my attorney. And yes he is "my attorney for life". Thank you so much Mr. Rueda.

Mr. Rueda was always professional and very knowledgeable in the law. He also showed me a lot of compassion regarding my situation. He is very prompt and was very accommodating and able to represent me and filings on short notice. He never had an issue talking me through things and spending as much ti...me as it took to help me through situations. Also, his pricing is very reasonable and never tried to bill me for every little phone call or question. I would highly recommend Mr. Rueda to anyone who wants a lawyer that is smart, knowledgeable, passionate about his work and just someone who cares about his clients. I never felt like a paycheck for Mr. Rueda but a friend that was helping me through a rough time. He has high ethics and most importantly for me is not afraid to tell the truth about your situation and not just try to rack up billable hours. A true gentlemen and great representation...

My divorce was complex (with a lot of property), highly contested, spread over two counties and took two years to the day to finalize. Mat was my third attorney and the only one that under promised and over delivered on what he said he could do or not do for me and my two sons. I've worked wit...h many, many attorneys in the past (over 10) and the standard method of getting clients is to over promise what they can do for you and then slowly let you down to what they can actually do while they bill you hourly. Mat is in no way like this. He's super honest and will tell you going into things that he does not think he can do xy or z for you...but he'll say I can probably do ab and c for you. This was awesome. Mat is young, smart, knowledgeable about the law (and life), hardworking, and patient. Mat understands the emotional side of family law and was really good at understanding my emotions and bringing me back on point. There were a couple of times that Mat didn't know the answer to my questions so rather than guess he said "let me look that up and get back with you". I really appreciated his honesty and candor. Mat became my partner in my divorce. I feel like he really cared about my case and the outcome my boys and I ended up with. I feel like Mat became my friend and we both ended up with a lot of respect for each other. I read another review on this site about Mat and all I can say is that the other poster has no idea what they are talking about. Some people can never be made happy I guess. Contrary at the end of my divorce I kept asking Mat if I owed him anymore money because I KNEW he had worked a ton of hours on my case. He kept telling me that I did not. I NEVER imagined in a 1,000 years that I'd ever ask an attorney if I owed them more money. Funny, I know! If Mat were greedy he could have easily said yes you owe me x more dollars but he's not like that which is awesome! I have told a couple of people about Mat and what a great job he did for me and my boys. If I ever have a need for additional family law advice or work I pray that I will be able to use Mat again. I just hope he does not get too busy in the future because he is so good that he gets too expensive and overbooked to help me. The only thing I would say that is even slightly not positive about Mat is I think he cares to much at times and the small clerical details get pushed off to a later date or time. He could use an administrative assistant or legal assistant to help him with the not so important stuff on his plate. Having my own small business I know personally how hard this can be to do. On one hand you know you could so the small things yourself but on the other you have more pressing things to be doing with your time. BUT the other side to this possible weakness is Mat never dropped a ball with me on something big. He knows the important stuff in his head and will never leave you high and dry...and in the big picture THAT'S what's important. So to sum it all up Mat helped me sleep well at night and focus on running my business while my divorce was being wrapped up. From the moment I met him I never felt that my case with him was not being managed professionally. Oh, and one more thing Mat drove to another county no fewer than 3 times for my case. That was no fewer than 12 hours of sitting in a car that I'm pretty sure he never even billed me for. I even offered to pay him mileage at least and he declined my offer. I had another atty charge me 800.00 for doing that drive one time! Don't walk to hire Mat Rueda...RUN TO HIRE HIM!!!
