My lawyer

He fixed my child support case and kept me out of jail. He got my case back on track with the general attorneys. Badass lawyer.

Child Support/Custody

I use Mat for a child support case. He is very big on communication and always gets back if not available. If you’ve ever had an attorney for any reason, you know communication is huge. He’s pretty straight forward and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Awesome lawyer!

I was referred to Mat Rueda after dealing with a previous lawyer who I had worked with a couple months who long story short ended up waisting my money and worst of all left me with an open unresolved case! It was then when I contacted Mat and he was willing to take my open case and jumped right inn,... from the beginning was very up front and realistic every aspect of my case, he is very timely and always seemed to make time for me anytime i had any question or concern witch is a plus knowing how busy lawyers can get! I am very happy to say that my child support modification order was solved and closed on April 6th and love the way things have changed for the better! I highly recommend Mat Rueda and will defenatly use him again if I ever need help if a lawyer again!!!

Mat definitely knows what he's doing

Im a single father. I have some issues with my criminal background. I explained this to Mat and he handled it so that we only had to go before the judge one time. I showed up to court and was granted primary custody and get child support. The hardest part was figuring out how to get payment to Mat. T...he cost was higher than I had planned for but you get what you pay for. The entire process took only about a month and a half. I'm totally satisfied.

Gave us Hope

We had searched for several months for the right attorney out of the Austin area to help us. Needless to say we were at our breaking point. We had been told several things but mainly that there was nothing that could be done because we live too far & it would cost thousands of dollars just to get sta...rted. My mother-in-law's attorney out of the Fort Worth, Texas area referred me to AVVO to find an attorney since we do not live in the Austin area. In fact we are three hours away. On the day I searched on AVVO, I spoke with three other attorney offices & Mr. Rueda was the only one who called me back, and didn't want to charge me $100/hour for a phone consultation. He had a prior appointment set up 30 mins from our call, but he took time out to actually listen with compassion to our story. He also called me back after his appointment to finish up talking with me, and he let me know how he could help us & what our options were. My husband has had 12 long years of battling his ex-girlfriend to just see his son. Long story short...he's always paid his child support on time as well as insurance, and we just wanted to see the child on a normal (per court order) visitation schedule that had been denied numerous of times because it wasn't convenient for her. Mr. Rueda not only dealt with numerous of lies from the ex-girlfriend on our court date set up by the Attorney General, but rescheduled a final hearing date that thankfully ended up in (long but worth it) mediation. He went above & beyond to get us exactly what Den deserved...a normal visitation schedule to build a bond with his son. He never waivered from what Den wanted & deserved, even though the ex-girlfriend was persistent on not giving in & wanted everything her way. Mr. Rueda never failed to take the time to answer all of our questions (and we had several). His knowledge about family law is over the top, he's very professional as well as personable, and told us of options that we didn't even realize we had. My husband was very anti-lawyers by the time we found Mr. Rueda because we had dealt with a few that showed little to interest in helping us. Mr. Rueda made him feel like a long time friend, and never made us feel like we were just "another client". My husband felt comfortable & was able to open up about the way the long 12 years had taken a toll on him, and expressed at times he had no hope it would ever get better. He was ready to give up until we found Mr. Rueda. The relief he made us feel is priceless. I'm not sure I can adequately express what he has meant (and will always mean) to our family. He was a true God-send.
