Matthew Steven Schultz

He is one of the best ! Matthew Schultz is an attorney who gets your legal needs done right , Divorce, child support , custody parenting, and all that goes with divorce . He is very professional, competent, agressive, tough, (when needs to be) completely thorough ,and knowledgeable. I have r...ecommended him to several of my dear friends who ended up needing a divorce following mine. I know if whoever hires him he will give his all !

I hired Matt after having interviewed two other attorneys (and paid their consultation fee) who left me with the impression that they would not aggressively represent my interests. Both indicated that since I was the primary earner in the marriage, I should be prepared and willing to pay long-term s...pousal maintenance and accept less than half of the community portion of our assets. Matt's interpretation was different. He indicated that in my case issues such as child support and the division of community property were generally straight-forward and should not be complicated to resolve. He also indicated that spousal maintenance was not a foregone conclusion and, given the specific circumstances in my case, was not warranted. He provided me with a general timeline for the divorce process and a sense of what his overall fees would be. Matt is competent, direct and efficient. Although my former spouse terminated her first attorney half way through the divorce process, and her new attorney proceeded to repeat all of the work, communication documents, filings, etc., previously completed, which resulted in significant unnecessary fees to my former spouse, Matt endeavored to limit his fees to only what was necessary and appropriate. Consequently, in the end, my spouse's attorney's fees were almost double what mine were. Throughout the process, Matt was available to answer questions, made good decisions relative to court filings and was well prepared for hearings and for trial. His pre-trial and other documents spelled out compelling arguments and effectively represented my interests. In the end, we reached a settlement the day before our scheduled trial date. Incidentally, the settlement agreed upon was essentially the same settlement I and Matt had proposed nine months earlier, and included no spousal maintenance. Overall, I was satisfied with the outcome and with Matt's work in representing me.

Matt has represented me in 2 custody cases over the last 10 years. He has always been honest with me about the proceedings, possible outcomes and provided me advice on how to cope with such. Matt was my attorney in 2005 when I was fighting for custody across states lines and for a true understandin...g of my children's fathers ability to pay child support. Matt kept my unemotional through a process that is never easy on a single mother and her children. He has always been available by phone and has provided my consultation on additional matters to include domestic abuse over the past few years. I trust this man to help my and all four of my children get through the difficult situation that divorce and court puts in your life. He is tenacious in the court room and well informed. That is all I can ask for as a client.

My name is RB, I was hit with a VERY expensive unexpected divorce after 18 yrs. I was very successful and self employed. My Ex wife literally played it perfect according to the book "Divorce is war", and planned it for over a year, she even used an attorney that was my friend just to make it even m...ore difficult. At one point she even told me to just sign over everything to her now to save time. She thought she had me lock stock and bank account. She wanted 15k a month plus the kids, dogs, horses, cars, house and everything else frankly. I was scared to death and completely unprepared. The judge was also female and seemed to be very sympathetic to the BS my wife was saying. After using an attorney I had just found in the yellow pages, I had my hat handed to me legally during the preliminaries, basically I was getting killed legally. It didn't look good at all and I was not happy. Fortunately I had a friend recommend Matt Schultz, (he had used him and was very very happy with his results). Well let me tell you, the sky parted and the sun started shining on me BIG TIME, it shined on me from that day forward, if you need a "GUARDIAN ANGEL/BODY GUARD, MATT IS THE GUY. I had no idea but I had hired a personal "Court Room Hit Man'. Not only was he in constant contact with me, he was literally 911 at even the slightest incident. To make a long story short, he countered every move they (my Ex and her atty) made with style and legal knowledge and CRUSHED them at every turn. They didn't know what hit them, Needless to say, she DID NOT get the 15k a month plus the kids etc that she had demanded. SHE GOT 391 dollars a month, that is correct, I pay the minimum required by law. My friends cant believe it, I should have known we had them,when as my ex was returning to her seat in court after testifying, she call Matt an F*#$ Punk, I loved it, my friends and family loved it, IT WAS AWESOME. Needless to say, I cannot recommend any one more profusely than I am right now. You dont want a boy scout, you want a PIT BULL and Matt Schultz is a PIT BULL on steroids.

Matt did an excellent job of representing me in my recent divorce. In addition to his excellent performance in the competencies identified above he is a no non-sense attorney. I felt like he was able to address the critical issues keeping his billing to a minimum. I have heard many stories of othe...r attorneys seemingly taking more bureaucratic approaches thereby racking up unnecessary attorneys fees. Not the case with Matt. I would recommend Matt to anyone in need of representation in the family law area in a heartbeat.
