Most professional attorney I've ever run into

It was a pleasure to work with Matt Kinley for a civil trial that I was a part of. He was always very calm but passionate at the same time. Matt has a fantastic demeanor about him and fights vigorously. I would recommend him to anyone.

Passionate & Exceptional Attorney

I interviewed about 5 other law firms before I was introduced to Matthew Kinley from Tredway, Lumsdaine & Doyle to assist me with an ADA related lawsuit that had been filed against a property that I owned. Mr. Kinley returned my phone call and we spoke briefly. As I hung up the phone, I knew instan...tly this was the law firm that I wanted to use. Mr. Kinley was so personable, professional and even eased my mind with a touch of humor. Mr. Kinley genuinely cares about his clients and goes out of his way to do his very best. I surely will be working with him and the firm in the future. Sincerely, Mrs. Bialo

Outstanding Health Care Attorney in Southern California

Matt Kinley has assisted my organization in a number of legal matters related to health care and also employment law. I would rate him outstanding with respect to legal expertise, positive demeanor, high level of competency and integrity. Matt is a pleasure to work with and he has my highest possible... recommendation.

Posted by Linda | February 09, 2014 | Business

Smart, quick to grasp complicated issues, fair-minded, and puts the clients best interests first.

When we had a business dispute, Matt was recommended to us by a community leader. We have worked with Matt for almost two years and have found him to have the highest integrity, a genuine interest in what is best for his clients and the knowledge and expertise to help clients understand and navigate... the different avenues that will achieve the best results for the client's particular situation. He has the ability to actively listen and formulate a plan to meet the client's needs. He is a calming force when difficult decisions need to be made; but he is a very strong force in his representation of his clients. We have found Matt to have a formidable memory for facts, and is very organized. We have had complete confidence in his knowledge of the law as well as his knowledge of the legal process and how to best tailor it for the benefit of his clients. We have found his technical and his personal skills to be of the highest quality. We feel that Matt thinks things through very carefully, and gives a lot of thought to how each decision will affect the client before he gives a client a recommendation or an opinion. We have come to not only respect him as a very fine lawyer, but also as a very intelligent, articulate, and caring individual. In addition, he always takes the time necessary to ensure his clients have a high level of comfort before making any decision. All of these qualities come together to instill in us, as his clients, the very highest level of confidence at times when important decisions need to be made.

Matthew Kinley - Professional business attorney and healthcare expert

Matt Kinley is certainly the best, most professional lawyer I have ever worked with. He is always available to answer questions or concerns, is a great communicator, and has always given us smart, reasoned, and well-researched legal advice. In addition, he has handled many cases for us and is a top-n...otch litigator. Matt understands the needs of businesses to protect themselves legally as well as hold down costs. His prudent and pragmatic approach, and calm-demeanor have kept us from making decisions that sometimes weren't in the best interests of our corporation. Matt is also an expert in healthcare law and has been a great asset to us as our company tries to tackle all the challenges brought on by the new healthcare regulations. In addition, Matt's firm, Tredway, Lumsdaine, and Doyle, has some of the best attorneys I've ever worked with. They have handled all my personal and business legal needs, including human resource issues, corporate issues, personal trusts, buy-sell agreements, and more. I would highly recommend any of the attorneys at his firm. I have known and worked with Matt for more than fifteen years, and in that time he has become a trusted advisor, one that I can always count on. I look forward to working with Matt and his firm for many years to come.
