A true professional and subject matter expert.

In a matter seconds, my life changed forever. I heard the sudden, unexpected, painful, and dreaded words "You've been served!" New to the area with no family or friends to guide me I had no where to turn for advice. By diligent research and comparison, I came across Matt. This man saved my life. Cha...nged it again for the better. He is a good man and an example of what a true caring and good human we should all be. His bottom line is your happiness and needs. Not his. Not money. In my times of anger and frustration and thoughts of malicious intent, Matt was always there with a calm clear reasonable mind. He always explained every step to me, answered every question, never interrupted me. In no time, I had my child back. In my home. I owe no financial support to the other party. They where suppose to pay me, but I declined. Matt was ok with this. Everything of mine was returned. I kept the house. I even got my dog back. (And yes, it was like a sad country song) If you need a diligent, smart, and cooperative attorney, Matt is the go to guy. He battled another highly rated female attorney who's clients are predominantly female and came out on top everytime. Men, do yourself a favor. Protect what you've worked hard to achieve. Protect it by hiring Matt. His ettiqute, grammar, attitude, and appearance let's you know this is the guy you need. The one who will stand behind you guarding and protecting. Hire Matt. He'll change your life too.

My miracle worker!

After years of a complicated and drawn out custody case with legal counsel that I wasn't satisfied with I decided to hire Matt in hopes of getting a permanent parenting plan in place that was best for my daughter. Matt exceeded every expectation that I had for an attorney and then some. He was punctu...al, organized, thorough, realistic, patient and just an over all genuine being. We were not working with much in terms of the other partys' willingness to negotiate but Matt somehow worked his magic and was able to avoid trial while achieving a more stable parenting plan that I felt important for my child, along with the provisions necessary to keep her safe and healthy. Hiring Matt was the best decision that I could have made and I will forever be grateful for what he was able to accomplish for my family!

My amazing attorney!

McKinley Irvin, and specifically Matt Kuehnl have been of immense value to my family! Every member of their staff that I spoke with was empathetic, understanding, and helpful. Matt did a wonderful job preparing our case, ensuring we presented an incredibly strong argument to the court. Matt was ab...le quell our fears, strengthen our resolve, and keep us peaceful. Having him in the courtroom was such a blessing. He is very well spoken, and did a fantastic job presenting our case. I will happily recommend his services to anyone in need of a family law practitioner. Thank you so much for all you have done!

Amazing Representation, Speedy Results & Supportive through a rough case and time in life!

After having a nightmare experience and high attorney costs with a prior attorney and not really getting anywhere in 7 months I met Matthew who was able to step in and take control of my case. He has great legal and practice skills, good work ethics, professional representation and high ethical and ...professional standards. He does genuinely want to help people who become his clients. When you are going through the worst time in your life Matthew was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. His staff is also very friendly. Matthew was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. Mine was a very complicated and difficult divorce with the opposing side as difficult as can be and we have 2 small children involved and businesses. Matthew gave me all sorts of scenarios before we made any moves. Despite it being a difficult case I got favorable results thanks to Matthew and the competent associates who work for Matthew and at the end of the day was happy with what was a very painful and difficult experience all in all. I would recommend Matthew Kuehnl and his associates to my family and friends (hopefully they won't need him though).

A few words of gratitude...

I came to Matt when my now ex-husband tried to unjustly take my children away while divorcing me. I feel my husband and his attorney used unethical excuses and improper procedure to drag out the process. Matt maintained that we were fighting for the right thing. He didn't give me false hope, but fait...h that I could show the courts our children needed both parents and I was a Mother who deserved at the very least a shared parenting plan. While we didn't always receive respect or answers in a timely manner from my ex's attorney, I feel Matt worked his hardest for my case while not resorting to false information or attacking the other party. In the year and a half I got to know more about Matt and see him defend me in court, my confidence in him continued to grow as he showed me that he was knowledgeable, honest, respectful, professional and above all, caring. He showed general interest and concern for how my life with my children was going to turn out after everything. Being a husband and father he also has the understanding of how important families are and how difficult it can be to separate. I would recommend Matt to anyone needing help with family matters.
