Horrific

If I could give zero stars I would! He missed filing dates but blamed me which screwed my entire case! He bragged about being in the tabernacle choir but was vulgar and disgusting. Dressed like a slob! Promises the world and files unnecessary subpoenas and motions just to line his pocket book! Disho...nest. Has horrible mental health issues that affected my case tremendously. Over 70,000 dollars he got from me and I ended up with nothing but pain and agony. He is a despicable human being and should be ashamed he ever practiced family law. Has no empathy for abused female victims or their children! He is a money grabber

Outstanding legal assistance

I found Matthew J. Kuehnl to be extremely responsive, competent, efficient, and cost effective when handling my pre-nuptial agreement. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance.

10 stars

If I could give Matt 10 stars, I would. We have a Washington case that was transferred to Utah and after a lot of searching for a good attorney, stumbled upon Matt, who previously practiced in WA before moving to Utah. This man is worth every penny and then some. He is professional while also bein...g realistic and keeping humor involved. He has never given us expectations of something that didn't happen. He has fought for us and gotten results in record time that we weren't able to get with previous attorneys. Matt has gotten more results in 1.5 years than we previously managed to get in almost 10 years. He is logical, efficient and has a keen eye for detail. I work in the legal field in WA, but once it was transferred we had to find a Utah attorney so I'm extremely picky and have pretty high standards. Honestly, if you don't hire him it's your loss, and if your ex hires him you're probably screwed. He's that good.

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

Strongly Recommend

My divorce process lasted for two horrendous years. However, Matthew and Sarah stood by me all the step of the way. All effort to settle with my ex, the petitioner, without the need for trial proved abortive. We went to mediation, I presented him with two different settlement offers, attended settlem...ent conference but he refused to settle. Sometime during the process, a major health concern showed up but this was not enough to stop my ex from refusing to settle. I was faced with fighting for my life and getting divorced all at the same time. I had to go in for a lifesaving surgery, and two weeks later had a court hearing. Through it all, Matthew and Sarah were very empathetic and professional. They made sure that all necessary court documents were prepared and submitted on-time. Matthew’s compassion for my children was outstanding. He understood that the well-being of my children was by far the most important to me, and he made sure that their best interests were represented all through the process. Matthew was very prompt at responding to my emails and he met with me periodically to discuss our next step and possible outcomes. He was very fair and equitable in his suggestions on how assets and debts should be distributed. He did not give me a false impression about the process. Rather, he explained and made me understand how the court system works, and he was very conscious of my financial state. He worked with me to ensure that I was not financially ruined after the divorce was over. Knowing that I could not afford the costs of him representing me at the divorce trial, he made the process very smooth and easy for me to step into. All ER904’s, trial brief and exhibits were prepared by Matthew and Sarah, necessary copies for all involved were made by them and delivered promptly. All I had to do was review all documents and show up for trial by myself, and I felt confident and well prepared. They also helped me to draft all the final orders. While I don’t pray for anyone to go through what I went through, I strongly recommend that you contact Matthew and his team should it become necessary for you to get divorced.
