Matt is the reason I have soo much time with my daughter!

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!

Quick, Honest and Helpful

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.

Pit Bull on Steroids, This guy is literally divorce 911 if you need help

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.

Contentious situation and needed help. THE BEST I have ever seen. He handles the court room like no other. He is so organized

I personally recommend Matt. If anyone or anyone you may know is dealing with a contentious situation and needs help. Seriously this is your guy. I was in the best of hands in what I was being put through....I rarely go out of my way to recommend a service or a person but I am so confident in his abi...lity given what I witnessed that I feel compelled to give his name to anyone that may find them self in a situation out of their control....I am blessed to have come in contact with him.

Review Matthew Steven Schultz

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.
