Matthew George Nightingale

Matt is a very wise smart man that knows his laws. Very quick at communicate, he always suggests the best outcome and his paralegal is very well knowledgeable, understanding, and caring. Love them both. He has done all of my cases (2 times now) for my daughters and won both times plus got me more t...hen I even expected. 100% recommended him for any custody case.

My case under matt went from bad to worse. He was negligent with my case. I paid him around 10k or more in fees and he never filed one contempt on my behalf which i begged for years for him to do. He kept insisting he would bring it all my issues at trial, but the problem was when he wouldnt defend m...e at hearings the judge always took the side of the mother.. He never filed a motion to have my child returned when the mother took not just my child but two other children, all during a custody case with active orders not to remove children. He never defended my rights as a father, and never defended me when my ex made absurd accusations against me. If you are a father in idaho going thru custody, stay away from Matt. He even went thru three secretaries and switched law firms while i was his client and promised me to file things on my behalf, only to ignore his duty and follow through. He did not fight for my protection as a father, with bo criminal record other than charges ive been fighting due to frivolous accusations by the mother. Now he is saying i owe him another 10k despite him doing literally nothing. I fired him on three separate occasions only for him to promise to do better, which he didn't. I had to speak up for myself in family court hearings to argue points he refused to bring up that would have helped my case. And surprise surprise; the judge sided with me every time i spoke up about the mothers abuse. If you want to be charged and accused by a toxic ex in the family court and ensure your voice never gets heard, hire Matt Nightingale.

I retained Matt for a divorce case. Unfortunately, he moved on to another firm. I elected to stay with the original firm for the sake of consistency and efficiency. During the time that Matt represented me I found him to be timely, thorough, communicative, and reasonable. He explained the process wel...l and in terms that I understood, and worked with me towards the best possible/reasonable outcome for me and my children. I have nothing negative to say about him and wish him the best at his new practice!
