I met Matt Koohanim around 1 year ago when my life changed. I was not making healthy choices that led to removal from my home by court order, restraining order, loss of my children, and headed towards divorce. And the thing I found is when you make bad choices, the trials and tribulations that co...me back to you from the people you hurt are worse often than anything you may have done. That’s life, I suppose. I trusted Matt because of his experience with DCFS, but more so, with how he seemed to understand people. He spoke to me countless times, especially in the beginning when my emotions were extremely high, and provided me not just legal guidance but personal direction. He never judged me, but encouraged me to take personal accountability for all my actions and all my worries over time would resolve themselves naturally. I knew Matt couldn’t stop my wife from divorcing me, but he assured me, every time I asked, I would restore and have a better relationship with my children and the restraining order would be removed. In the beginning months of my case he helped negotiate a deal with all the legal parties that protected my record and gave me a fighting chance to redeem myself and atone to the people I hurt, which in this case happened to be my family. And any time anyone tried to hurt my chances in any way, Matt made time to speak with me and then act swiftly. He knew the precise words to write in exchanges that caused immediate change in my treatment. When we met in court, Matt always kept a calm and deliberate demeanor that enabled the court to receive his motions positively. This allowed me to focus on the personal work I had to do in order to end my case. Two days ago, the court closed my case. All of my parental rights are restored, the temporary restraining order is gone, I have an even better and healthier relationship with my children, and although we are getting divorced, my wife and I are better friends than ever and are coparenting well, which is what the kids deserve. I want to express my gratitude and thanks to Matt Koohanim and his law firm for handling my case with care and honesty from start to finish. They helped me focus on making the right decisions I needed to improve my life and get through the hardest year of my life. Honestly, I am still very much just beginning my personal journey of acceptance and letting go and embracing the changes related to my past actions. It’s very hard, but this is the path I must travel and Matt Koohanim helped me get there for certain.

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Matt Koohanim, an exceptional lawyer who truly went above and beyond to help my family navigate a challenging situation involving DCFS. From the onset, Matt demonstrated his commitment to my family’s case, taking the time to thoroughly explain the... process and keep me informed about every step of the way. His proactive communication was invaluable, as he ensured I was always aware of the necessary documents and paperwork required. Ultimately, Matt successfully closed our case, and I am forever grateful for his tireless efforts to advocate on our behalf.

CPS took my son and I'm holding him in my arms again because of Mr. Koohanim. I can only recommend Mr. Koohanim! I was on a tourist visa in America, CPS took my son 2 months before the visa expired. Every lawyer I called, even research on the internet told me that the process to get you...r child back from CPS takes at least 6 months up to 12 months, I remember I couldn’t stop crying! I called over 20 lawyers which said it's a unique case and that they have to do research because they've never had a case like this before, that it will take at least 6 months and I have to try to extend my visa somehow and I'm telling you, that's NOT what you want to hear from a lawyer you trust with your child's life! I called Mr. Koohanim on a Saturday late evening, he took over 1 hour to listen to everything and answered every single question I had, he was patient and kind, calmed me down. I remember his words : "I've had cases like this before, I'm getting the whole case dismissed". Even tough I hired Mr. Koohanim the day before my court date, he managed to be there. I thought it was hopeless, CPS was aggressive, even changing my words in reports that I've never said. In just 3 weeks, Mr. Koohanim managed to get the entire case dismissed and I was able to get my son back and go back to my country. And even though it's all over, he still takes the time to answer my questions. I'm more than grateful for Mr. Koohanim, his number is definitely saved in case CPS ever contacts me again.

Matt and his team did a awesome job assisting my daughter with her dependency case. When I called Matt it was an emergent case and he responded and assisted me right away. I retained Matt for my daughter and not only did he represent my daughter with the utmost compassion, he helped tend to the famil...y's needs as a whole. I also liked that the initial retainer was a flat cost and there were no hidden additional fees. Thank you Matt and your team for all the hard work you do assisting families when they need you most!
