Distroyed my Parenting Plan he just gave it away, I lost days & mandatory calls

First impressions he dressed in the intake interview like his photo but in court ,,,, If you have seen Christmas Vacation "Randy Quades" Character Mathew took fashion pointers from him. I should have realized then i chose wrong, rayon slacks and white shoes just like the movie tacky and i swear the ...other attorneys were snickering..he actually thought he looked sharp OMG. FYI when you make changes to a PP in the Judges back room it will not go on record, so dont do this !!!!!!!!!!!! the PP was written to were on my weekend i had my daughter every week my weekend went from M-F but once my sonority got to where i was getting a Sunday-M the ex did not like me having an official weekend when the child was out of school. I had worked two shifts prior to court and i was rummy, This idiot screwed up my PP to where he thought it was a good idea for me to see my daughter two days a week on my work days NOT MY DAYS OFF as it had been for 11 years, I kept say im loosing time he would say no your not,. I LOST TIME this idiot screwed up my life and daughters and would not help to correct what he had told me in court. We were not obligated to change the PP I gave up mandatory calls that as the Ex hindered my calls as soon as court was over same thing ex would not give child phone. in court he literally gave my weekend time away and i lost one day a week so rather than two nights three days i lost a day.... OMG... i spent 6k to for him to give my time away lost my daughter thanks to him and McKinely Irvin & his manager Teresa L. Foster

Divorce

I recently went through a divorce which was hard for me and my family. When I was looking for an attorney to represent me I couldn’t help but feel Matthew was genuinely sincere about helping me get through this process. Matthew was amazing!!!! I was worried that I wouldn’t have communication with my... attorney to help me resolve and answer the questions that come up during a divorce. Matthew communicated with me on a daily basis if needed and sometimes I needed him after business hours. Matthew always responded to me in a timely manner and in many times when he wasn’t at work. There were many times through my process of divorce that my now ex wife would threaten to take my kids away from me or come to my place of residence to have arguments and a fight with me. Matthew was always there to answer my questions and tell me what my rights were as a father. I ended up having to go through mediation to get things resolved and I knew that Matthew had my back. I don’t wish anybody to have to go through a divorce but I promise you if you choose Matthew as an attorney to represent you,he will go above and beyond any expectations you might have to represent you and defend you. I can’t thank Matthew enough for everything he did for me.

Compassionate, honest, and truly listened to the details of my case.

I have a final parenting plan that was put in place years ago that was fairly boiler plate. Years later once my child became school aged, disagreements over districts quickly arose. During this time, I was a full time student and didn't have the financial resource to seek help. Unfortunately, the oth...er parent moved my child without permission to the school of their choice and unknowingly, I should have filed for a restraining order. The courts ended up deciding to keep my child in the district which was a difficult conclusion. I recently returned to work and commuting my child north quickly became a problem when my job was located much further south. The other parent ended up filing papers against me to modify the parenting plan to take majority custody which would have been absolutely devastating and far from the best interest of my child. I searched and searched for the right attorney to really understand the history of the case and how an unfortunate event resulted in a school placement which quite honestly made no sense when both households pass daily through my district. While the school placement was in order for elementary school prior to seeking counsel, Matthew was able to help give me a voice and stand up for a fair and justified modification to the parenting plan which has resulted in a drastically improved schedule and no time lost (which was completely unjustified). Matthew was able to take a terrible situation and completely turn it around to actually improve upon what was in place before. I had consulted other attorneys prior to hiring Matthew and always walked away worried that they didn't completely understand the current and past circumstances in addition to the motivations of the other party. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone seeking counsel for a family law case. I am extremely grateful we connected and will seek his representation if I should need to in the future.

Very pleased

I used Mr. Kuehnl while attempting to obtain custody of my daughter as well as defend myself against an unmerited protection order. His staff was very professional and capable. He adequately helped the judge see the truth in the protection order hearing. We did not end up having to litigate on the cu...stody issue. He negotiated to help me obtain an end result that was best for my daughter.

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!
