Chris Matz "A True Professional"

Chris represented me for my case involving the cultivation of marijuana in Adams County. During my experience working with Chris I must say he was a true professional. He's very responsive and would always reply quickly with any questions or concerns I had during my case. Also, very pleased with ...the outcome that he worked out with the DA! Thanks again Chris with your assistance during a difficult time.

Good Lawyer - Solid Advice

Chris was our families lawyer for many years. He made sure to inform us regarding the cost of his services and cautioned us when we were pushing for things that would cost us more and have no benefit to us at all. He is straight forward about the law and about our chances of success in any situatio...n. It's not all about the money with Chris and that is why I would recommend him to others. I know that they will get quality care, solid advice, and good value for their money.

ONE OF A KIND LAWYER!!

I hired Mr. Matz to represent myself in a child custody and child support case for my three boys. When we went to court for my parental rights we were up against a bitter parent that wanted to try to keep her three boys from their father. Hiring Mr. Matz proved to be the Best Choice that a single p...arent could have made to get their rights for the best interested of the children. When we first started out with parenting time at the beginning of the court hearing as a father you want you children right away. Mr. Matz recommend a temporary parenting plan with my children. We stayed on the plan for six months than went back to court and increased the parenting plan. When it was time for permanent court orders we went in front of the judge. Mr. Matz asked, me what I was wanting for my parenting time etc. I explained to Mr. Matz what I was proposing for my children. When everything was finished that day in court Mr. Matz represented myself and the court granted everything that we asked for. I'm a single father has his children one week on and off during summertime. School year my children are with me ever-other week Friday-Tuesday. Holidays rotating. After the child custody Mr.Matz represented me in the child support hearing on this same case and the out come was unbelievable after getting my children and everything court order my child support order dropped over 60% from what I was order to pay before the child custody was order. I VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE A LAWYER LIKE CHRIS MATZ THAT TRULY CARES ABOUT THE BEST INTERESTED OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN MY CHILD CUSTODY CASE. I MADE THE BEST CHOICE IN MY LIFE HIRING MR.MATZ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHRIS MATZ FOR REPRESENTATION.

Awesome, responsive and very sharp.

I had a custody case that Chris handled. I had a different lawyer before Chris who, I felt, was inept and charged too much for what he accomplished. Chris, on the other hand was knowledgeable, and gave me much more self confidence in facing what was arguably the most stressful event of my life. As... an end product, I got the very results that I had hoped for, and plan to call on him whenever any other issues arise. He is worth keeping on retainer!
