Hello - I just wanted to acknowledge one of the best custody lawyers in Austin, Mat Rueda! I've utilized Mat in two separate custody disputes with favorable results in both, the first in 2011 and another in June of 2019. Mat was able to prevent my ex from leaving the state with my daughter, obtained ...50/50 custody, and just recently secured full custody as my ex attempted move again. Custody lawyers in general are never cheap, so pick a good one! Mat is extremely intelligent, quick-thinking, and understands how to argue family matters.

I needed urgent help on a bogus protective order filed on me by my wife last month. I decided to hire Mat after meeting with him at his office. He showed up to court with me on short notice and you could tell he was very prepared. He was able to dismiss the protective order filed against me and able... to clear my name. Mat really fought hard for me and I am happy with how he handled everything. I just rehired Mat to file for divorce against my wife and I am sure he will do a great job on that too.

I wanted to review Mat because of the job he did on my Child Support case. I was served with papers from the court requesting that I go to jail for delinquent child support payments. When I met with Mat, I was pretty scared about my situation. He explained exactly what the documents meant and how t...o defend me in court. He guided me through the attorney general court process so that I would understand what was going to happen in court. He didn’t make unrealistic promises for my case, but assured me we had a good gameplan. My case was dropped and dismissed. I am out of trouble and current on my child support payments thanks to Mat. He was awesome from the beginning to the end.

I assisted my sister in getting connected to Matt's services for her divorce process. We liked Matt right away. He is approachable, knowledgeable, and professional. Matt was accessible and responsive. He followed up with my sister when she reached out to him. He was also willing to work with my siste...r's ex (he did not have his own lawyer) so that the process could move forward, but was very clear that he was representing my sister's interests. I would highly recommend Matt's services.
