Matthew Steven Schultz

Matt and I have a longstanding client/counsel relationship that has definitely evolved over almost 10 years that we've known each other. He helped me when I was a young single dad, with hardly enough borrowed money to even pay a retainer, yet he treated me like his star client. As the years have pa...ssed, with the ups and downs of the economy blessing my career and then wreaking havoc on it, my daughter's mom has tried almost every excuse to come after me for money and withhold as much parenting time as she possibly could. But Matt has been the rock of confidence and calm to help me maintain hope. A hope that despite the toughness of the battle, it is ALWAYS worth it when I can see my beautiful child grow with my love and influence as her dad. The road has been difficult as we've had a handful of different judges throughout the process and obstacles thrown out from an interesting variety of opposing counsel, at any attempt I've filed to have more time with my daughter. Matt has clearly been the superior representative against each and every different attorney that has been hired by my daughter's mother. I have recommended him many times over, and will continue to do so as long as there are parents out there who, like myself, are getting the raw end of the stick from unfair and abusive co-parents. The fact that he is still my go-to family counsel after all these years is testament enough to his integrity and skill-set.

Hire Matt if you want immediate results! I hired Matt regarding custody and child support remod and again came out on top.Matt was two steps ahead of the opposing counsel and had my best interests in mind at all times. He kept me informed at all times and takes the time to explain all the best option...s. Matt is aggressive and fights for what is fair!! I can not say enough good things about this attorney. Extremely knowledgeable and you will get your money's worth.

I hired Matt through a friends recommendation when my ex decided to try to take my daughter away from me. His rates are reasonable, and his service and availability are amazing! While prepping for court, he coached me through all of the potential questions I would be asked, and gave me things to rese...arch so I wouldn't run into any surprises. During my hearing, he was aggressive and stern, yet professional. HE IS THE REASON I HAVE SO MUCH TIME WITH MY DAUGHTER! With his help, I was able to get almost 50/50 custody!

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.
