Divorce

Divorce is one of the top qualifying stressful events in someone's life. I can confidently say that Matt Drexler was a key to making it through such a stressful situation in my life. His knowledge is immense. He never faultered and was always available during emergency situations. In fact, it was... his expertise that allowed us to achieve the goals that we set out to in our very first meeting. Matt never hesitated to inform me of my legal rights and to advise me on an appropriate action. Matt Drexler is the type of attorney that you can count on to fight for your legal rights with integrity and honesty. He takes care to help you fight the battles worth fighting and doesn't hesitate to tell you when you might want to re-evalutate your goals. His firm is punctual, hard-working, and just brilliant.

Amazing Lawyer!

Matt has been an extraordinary attorney. I was almost 3 years into my divorce, and it was not moving forward at all. Once I got wise and decided I needed an attorney, Matt seemed to jump out as the right choice almost immediately. Being overseas, communication can prove to be difficult. Matt and ...his team were more than up to that challenge. Matt caught up on the 3-year old case rapidly, and suddenly things were finally on the move. His advice was perfect. He fought for my rights and needs, but was also brutally honest about the situations as they were. Sympathetic when appropriate. He pulled no punches, but definitely always looked out for my interests! Matt has also been more than gracious and flexible when it has come payment. I am maintaining him as my Attorney-of-Record, and have no doubt he will be there if and when I need his assistance in the future. I HIGHLY recommend Matt and his team if you need legal assistance!

Divorce

Matt Drexler was my attorney and I'm so glad that I hired the Drexler Law Firm. The whole team worked together to make my transition into becoming a single mom a rather pleasant experience. As I focused on my children, Matt and his team made sure that we were going to be taken care of within the bou...ndaries of the law. I couldn't have asked for better representation. My ex-husband was not able to strong arm him as he has done to me. I am very happy with the end result and I would recommend anyone who has made the decision to file for a divorce.

Finest and most honorable representation found in the state of Colorado

After 4 years of battling my ex-husband in multitude court hearings my family desperately sought for a proficient lawyer able to properly and effectively represent me. From a legal perspective my "case" appeared "unbeatable". Two previous attorneys failed miserably and their work ended in disastrou...s results. They didn't possess and/or demonstrate any amount of "heart and soul" like every employee working in Matt's firm always does. Empathy emanates from the pores of every team member as and is evidenced by their prosper. Their associations and connections in the community are endless! I faced an absolute nightmare with great possibilities of losing parental custody rights along with major financial losses. Frightening and negative visions entered my mind continuously as I unfairly sat behind bars (for the first time in my life). When Matt Drexler and his firm entered my life he was "real" in every sense, even from the very start. During our initial meetings we discussed the reality of my situation and the most likely detrimental outcomes to be expected from the future proceedings. He was and remains to be, 100% honest. His words and behavior were always filled with encouragement even as he simultaneously prepared us all for the worst possible case scenario. Fortunately only amazing and positive outcomes have surpassed. Matt fulfilled every promise he made to us. His outstanding performance achieved outcomes in court that seemed impossible and only a far-fetched dream. I regained my primary custodial rights as I appeared in court handcuffed and shackled! The blessings received from his work magnified with a sudden surprise of an early release from custody 33 days earlier then expected! I was able to celebrate the holidays with my family thanks to one of his extremely detailed and well-written "motions". This review is sent out to the internet universe with hopes that others who find themselves in hopeless legal situations may also be rewarded by the fine work of Matt and his associates.

Superb Legal Firm

Not only was I referred, by another attorney (so you know he's legit!) to the Drexler Law Group while on my local attorney search from WA State. I had 2 attorneys ready to take on my husbands case but, I felt so secure after speaking to Matt, I paid the extra retaining fee just to be represented prop...erly by a team filled with experience, knowledge, and game plan.... after my husband's tricky case that made it appear like he was a deadbeat.. Mr Drexler went up to bat for my husband & hit it out of the ballpark! I have never had such a weight lifted off mine & my husband's shoulders in recent times... dealing with an ex girlfriend who just wanted money from my deathly ill husband.. thank you Matt for explaining the actual circumstances to the court! Thank you for being there, taking so many calls from us, being able to understand & explain the process to a deathly ill cancer patient trying to recover,working on my case at 9:30pm on a Saturday.. coordinating between WA & Colorado.. over the weekend, WOW!!!! I WILL be the first to tell anyone in the Springs about the Drexler Law Group... And of course I would hire this attorney firm again ! I can't say much more than THANK YOU.
