Matthew Joseph Kuehnl

Matthew represented our case, which involved a contempt motion for unpaid shared parental costs, From the beginning, Matthew showed deep empathy and understanding of the issues and their impact on the children. He repeatedly proved himself to be a person who lives his values of care and concern and s...howed great patience and sensitivity. In court, he came abundantly prepared, in command of the facts and details, and articulate in his presentation. In the office, he shows great respect and gratitude for the support staff, which speaks to his genuine character. McKinley Irvin is lucky to have him in the firm and we feel fortunate in finding him.

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.

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!

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).
