Matthew Steven Schultz

I was in a bitter custody situation where my ex and her family were hiding my son from me and I needed help immediately. I had initially hired another lawyer to handle my case and was referred to Matt when I became displeased with my first attorney's inability to file my case for over a month after I... hired him. After meeting with Matt he assured me I was in good hands and I would soon have my son back in my life. The very next day my case was filed and Matt expedited my first hearing so I could see my son again. Despite my ex's extreme attempts to lie to the court's about everything under the sun, the opposition didn't know what hit them. My ex ended up going through 3 different attorney's because she kept losing to Matt. Through the entire process Matt was available for any questions and concerns I had and kept me well informed as to what was going on in my case. At the end of it all I got joint custody and reasonable child support even though my ex was seeking sole custody, a ridiculous amount of child support and attorney's fees awarded, none of which happened. I was so pleased with Matt's performance that I referred him to another friend who's opposing counsel is notorious for being one of the toughest/aggressive family law attorney's in the Valley... Matt won that case too.

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.

What began as a straight-forward child support case, turned into a child custody fiasco. Not only was Matthew highly prepared for each step, his in-depth knowledge of Arizona Family Law prepositioned my case for a just and desired judgement. Matthew was consistently available to answer all of my que...stions and concerns. His passion and commitment to the law are paramount and equal to that of his care for his clients. Matthew was incredibly focussed on my behalf during this extremely emotionally charged issue.

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.

Matt helped me through some complex and difficult times, and as a result of his thorough, comprehensive, and deep knowledge of family matters and divorce law, he provided me the best representation possible. He always stayed on top of large and small events and circumstantial changes in my case, and... he provided me with thoughtful input, feedback, and advice constantly. He worked on my case as though it was his only case, and he often stayed late at the office to meet commitments and deadlines. The money I spent on Matt's services was well worth it, and it didn't cost me an unreasonable amount. I highly recommend Matt. Hire him. You'll be glad you did.
