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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
