Mat Rueda represented me for my divorce. He was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the process and how to fight for the best possible outcome on my behalf. What I appreciated about working with him is that he has a very down to earth and approachable style. There was one child involved in my ...situation and although there were times he needed to get tough, he always had their best interest in mind during the negotiations. Additionally, Mat Rueda was always accessible when I needed to get a hold of him and is fair with his fees. I would definitely recommend him if you need an honest and hard working attorney to represent you.

Mat helped resolve my divorce case that involved a child in a manner that was favorable to all parties. He went above and beyond to answer any questions I had and when he wasn't immediately available he would respond back promptly. He was also knowledgeable about what my options were for the situatio...n I was in and was able to explain to me the steps and processes for each. My experience with Mat turned out greater than I expected.

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.

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.

After having many missteps in the family court arena I felt that all was lost and that I would be relegated to "uncle-dad" status for eternity. Then I met Mat, he worked with me to get a plan together and he left no stone un-turned. Court filings were always done early and with exceptional legal refe...rences and style. Phone calls and emails were always returned within a day even on the weekends. I felt before we went to court in the hallway that no matter what happens in the trial I was more than pleased with what he had done for me. In the courtroom he took it to a whole other level. His demeanor in court was sharp and well executed and he had a complete handle on the room from the judge to the opposition. I now have my son 50 percent of the time and he is getting a great education, in no small part to the efforts of Mat. In this crazy court system that we have, having Mat Rueda on your team is a must have.
