Amazing attorney very communicative

Matt was insanely helpful. He’s great with communication. He make sure that he takes the time to learn your case. I had a very rough case in California and I loved my lawyer there and it was very hard to part with him when I came here and hard to trust, but matt made it very easy to feel like I was b...eing heard and everything was going to be taken care of.

"In my corner"

Not more than a few weeks ago, Matt and I completed what was a long, and emotionally draining journey; my divorce. I’ve never done this before (and hopefully never again!) but having Matt in my corner was a HUGE relief; right from the first consultation, I might add. I tend to overthink and M...att was able to distill my concerns into: • a logical timeline, • manage my expectations—helped to cool down my emotions, • hold the noise to a dull roar, • all while keeping expenses at a reasonable level. If you’re reading reviews than you may be in need of an advocate. Give him a call… he may very well be the right fit. He sure was for me! CV

Matt helped me out

Matt did a great job with my case. I appreciated his consultative approach. He had to drive to another county to represent me in court, which I really appreciated.

Family lawyer | Jan 27

Relationship: Co-worker

"Matt is an exceptional family law attorney in Idaho. I have always been impressed by his abilities, depth of knowledge, and experience in family law. What I like most about working with Matt is that he is always working to find the best outcome for his clients and never takes unnecessary actions or files frivolous motions which rack up attorney's fees. But when necessary he is not afraid to take a case to trial and will fight hard, but fair, for his clients. I couldn't recommend Matt highly enough for anyone with family law needs in Idaho."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
