I would put in in spanish and in english. This was my first experience in USA with a legal dispute and Mat was pretty open to help at the begining, giving clear advice in our initial conversation about what to do, claiming that this would be an easy case to deal with etc. He was answering my text mes...sages and also helping me out with the set up of the payment. Once he got the payment, he never answered my back again by text message and he distributed this case to another partnered firm, without any notification or conversation. Several times I expressed my disconformity with the new law firm and he never replied. You would pay the retainer and you will be ghosted. If you really want your case to take forever, not attended, without communication, just to pay money to fund this guy, please go ahead with Mat law firm. Mat is your best fit. If you want something else, run away Esta ha sido mi primera experiencia en USA. Este tipo estaba abierto a ayudar desde el principio, destacando que el creia que iba a ser facil y rapido. Era comunicativo y me ayudaba con mis respuestas antes de pagarle. Cuando pague el retainer, dejo de contestar y envio el caso a otro bufete de abogados. Nunca mas respondio ni tomo responsabilidad alguna del caso. Si lo que quieres es pagar dinero a fondo perdido, financiar a este bufete y que tu caso no quede resuelto, esta es tu mejor opcion. Si lo que buscas es lo contrario, huye! Aunque hable espanol de que sirve si no va a hacer nada después de escucharte y venderte las bondades de su firma para nada?

Mr. Mat Rueda is the equivalent of a car repairman who takes advantage of the fact that his clients do not have the ability to do auto repairs. The kind who breaks additional machinery in your car after taking your money. As I have not been to law school, I was under the mistaken ...impression that paying his fees would in turn give me someone who would speak for my best interests and the best interests of my children. I would definitely not recommend Mr. Rueda to anyone. When I first met with him, he was very knowledgeable and he informed me of my options regarding my divorce. I explained to him that my main concern was having the ability to continue to be a part of my children's lives after the divorce. He outlined a plan to me that, over the next few months, would keep my best interests in mind. Unfortunately, after we were in court (a few days later), his tune abruptly changed to "this is the best we are going to get". He convinced me that if I were to pay extra child support in addition to what was required, I would have more time (visitation) with my children. Apparently, the "more time" has in fact turned out to be a standard part of most divorce decrees. This man excels at the art of making his clients feel informed while selecting the path of least resistence in regard to the job he is paid to do. I was appalled to discover that everything he did for me was standard in almost all divorce cases, and without his representation not only would I have the same divorce decree, visitation, etc, but I would also be paying less child support. The entire experience left me wondering what purpose exactly my fees to him served besides padding his pockets. Since the divorce was finalized in August, I have had to consult with additional attourneys to wrap up the "loose ends" left by Mr. Rueda. Consistently I am told that, "Your lawyer should have taken care of this", and "This is something that should have been addressed when you were in court last August" and I am now forced to wonder who exactly Mr. Rueda was working for. I'm truly amazed this man can sleep at night.
