About Matthew
Biography
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.

Matthew Schultz A Tactical Genius
I have been involved in divorce procedings almost 3 years now. I found it necessary if, not finacially sound to release my previous attorney and was then introduced to Matthew Schultz. Although my divorce is not quite final, there have been several courtroom battles where Matt clearly had done his ...
Matthew Steven Schultz's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
