With a Bachelor's Degree in finance, a Masters of Business Administration with a finance emphasis and an LL.M. (post law master's degree) in taxation, I have valuable insights into the financial aspects of family law cases. When complex issues arise concerning the valuation of businesses, analyzing the income of a self-employed party for purposes of child support and spousal maintenance/alimony, and/or spotting hidden income or assets; I can effectively and efficiently research and argue the issues necessary to obtain a successful outcome for your case. At the same time, I have the common sense and experience that is absolutely necessary to litigate difficult custody and parenting time issues . I understand your problems because, like my clients, I too had to fight for my rights in an emotionally charged custody and financial case.

I had the privilege of being represented by Attorney Matthew Steven Schultz during one of the most challenging periods of my life — a difficult custody case that meant everything to me. From the very beginning, Mr. Schultz showed an extraordinary level of professionalism, preparation, and dedication....

So I went in for a consultation with Matt Schultz.I thought at first he was just being nice. But then after the third inappropriate question about my physical looks I started feeling very uncomfortable. I made mention to him about his comments.And he just smart and thought it was funny. So when ...

Everyone, especially women being bullied and gaslighted by their ex, should have Matt representing them. Matt’s ability to work on a Friday for a high conflict trial on Monday is nothing less than mind blowing. I highly recommend using Matt.

Matt was a professionally competent guide through this difficult process. I highly recommend this Attorney to anyone who needs a competent and professional guide through their law case. I'm forever grateful for his help! Thank you so much Matt!
"Matt's current AVVO rating is not indicative of his excellence inside and outside of the courtroom. Nor does it reflect his dedication to his clients and his ability to take on tough cases that other attorneys have passed on and then receive favorable results. Matt's 20+ client reviews speak for themselves. I have opposed Matt in several cases and each time he has left no stone unturned, meticulously attended to every detail and presented his case with the talent and skill that most other lawyers wish they had."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had cases against Matt. When I needed a family lawyer, I hired Matt. He's incredible in the courtroom and cares about what his clients are going through."
"While Matt is a well versed adversary in the courtroom, he is also easy to get along with outside the courtroom, which goes a long way to settling matters. I enjoy working with Matt even if he is an opposing counsel!"
"Matt is a top-notch attorney and I have the utmost respect for his skills in and out of the courtroom. As his clients can attest, Matt is knowledgeable, aggressive when necessary, and one of very few attorneys I recommend if a client is facing a difficult case in family court."
"I am Jeff Zurbriggen. I have known Matt for about 7 years. We usually work on cases opposing one another. Matt is a great lawyer. He is responsive to client needs. Matt is very smart. He is organized and well prepared. Matt is confident in court, well respected by the bench and staff, and speaks very well. He will aggressively pursue your case. I highly recommend Matt."
