Matthew is your guy!

Going through a situation that no one wants to be in, it was such a comfort to know that Matthew Kuehnl was my attorney. Prior to hiring Matt, I had been with another firm who passed my case off to a junior partner who had just passed the bar a month before. I had to keep giving them the same infor...mation over and over and correcting their mistakes. Then weeks would go by with no communication. I didn't know what I was doing and they sure didn't help me to feel confident in their abilities to get the job done. My experience with Matt and his staff was the complete opposite. Switching to McKinley Irvin and Matt Kuehnl was the best decision I made! They were excellent at communicating and guiding me through the divorce and child custody process. They were always looking a step ahead and kept me updated on where things were at. It was such a comfort in a difficult situation to know that I had a professional in my corner who made my case a priority and wanted to do the best he could for me and my family. I would recommend Matt Kuehnl a million times over for any family law case!

I am so happy to have Matthew representing me in my divorce.

Matthew Kuehnl has been representing me in my divorce. He has been absolutely incredible; I consider it a blessing that I found him. Before meeting Matthew, I was set on using a female lawyer and was not open to using a male. I met with him for a consolation and after getting to know him I cam...e to realize that he was caring, trustworthy, intelligent, and able to stand by my family in the ways we needed. When I retained Matthew I was completely naive in my understanding of how difficult my divorce would be. Matthew jumped into action when the divorce started taking a turn for the worse. BECAUSE he is by my side, I have the peace of mind I need to make it through a very difficult time. He has shown the perfect balance of caring about everyone affected by this divorce and fighting for what is best for the kids and I. He has been impressive in court; he is smart, well spoken, and quick on his toes. He has proved that he cares about my children and I by standing up for us in and outside of the court room too many times to count. He has gone above and beyond for us. Matthew has not been afraid to let me know the ways I can do better, especially the ways I need to stand up for myself and have my own back. This has been tremendously important for me and I do not believe another lawyer could have shown up for me in the ways he has. I am so grateful for the peace of mind I have with him by my side.

Attorney review

I got the pleasure of working with Matthew Kuehnl for my custody/child support case. He advocated and stood up for my kid and myself both in mediation and attorney to attorney interactions. He was very much a straight shooter but left the ball in my court recognizing I hired him to do the legal part ...but the final decision was always mine. I never felt blind sided about what the next step was and always felt informed on expectations of the process. He was quick to respond to my concerns/emails and understanding that the entire process was nothing but nerve racking for me. Very personable too. From day one until final orders were filed- he was extremely helpful.

Outstanding, ehtical and caring professional

I retained Matt in response to a long history of contention with my sons mom. I didn't know at the time there was such a thing as "abusive use of conflict". Thankfully Matt knew it was and what I was experiencing was exactly that. In the consultation he outlined a spectrum of possible outcomes, depen...ding on the judge and a number of other factors. In the end, the case ended almost exactly where he most likely suspected it would, and thanks to his knowledge and experience I've enjoyed a few months so far of drama free co parenting. Matt is the best. He has excellent integrity, has a caring disposition and has vast knowledge of family law and local rule. I couldn't recommend him enough if in need for a caring genuine attorney!!!

Highly reccomended

I had the pleasure in having Matt Kuehnl of McKinley Irvin represent me in my family law case for divorce, and child custody. Matt was extremely professional, caring, intensely knowledgeable, and responded to any questions I had promptly. Mr. Kuehnl's courtroom presence was phenomenal, he had an exce...llent use of diction, and Matt always presented my case with skill and tact. I highly recommend Matt Kuehnl, and I would give more stars if I could!!
