Best Attorney

Matt, Is a honest fair attorney. I've have always had full confidence in his work. He takes the time to explain things, he is fair, he does look out for the best interest for your child and you a child. I have and will continue to recommend Matt to anyone going through a delicate time in their life.... Yes you can surely count on feeling safe and taken care of by Mr. Sundly. He is a honest man!!

Best of the best! Knowledgable, Firm, Aggressive and Friendly. Exactly what you want from an attorney

Mr. Sundly offers a shining ray of hope for those who are in a tough bind. He is thorough and knowledgeable, friendly and aggressive. He assisted me on a case to recoup overpaid child support after my ex-wife continued garnishing my wages for three years after it should have stopped. I had worke...d with a few attorneys prior to hiring Mr. Sundly and his firm, predominantly during a period where I was required to have the support I was paying for my two children adjusted. That was an extremely stressful and difficult two year process. I had to deal with an incompetent attorney and finished up with someone who was hard of hearing and subsequently rolled over when we were actually in front of the judge. I truly experienced why lawyers get such a "bad rap" However, this was absolutely NOT the case with Mr. Sundly and his entire firm, right from the first meeting at his firm. I had interviewed four other attorneys prior to meeting with Farzad Family Law and got the same "pit in my stomach" feeling that I had years prior. Once I took my meeting at Farzad Family Law, it was apparent that they would be taking my case, not only because of the knowledge that they possessed, but the feeling that I was their number one priority. Immediately I began seeing results on the other issues I was dealing with prior to Mr. Sundly jumping in on the most important matter as described above. It was because of Mr. Sundly's calm and pleasant demeanor and Farzad Family Law's incredible staff that something that could have easily been as stressful (if not more) as my previous "battles" with my ex-wife. I was always kept "In the loop" as to what was going on, what the next steps were and what, if anything, was needed from me. Mr. Sundly took the bull by the horns and did everything possible for me. He was consistently giving me his run-down of what occurred during meetings with the opposing counsel as well as his personal insight. It would not be possible to express in words just how grateful I am to Mr. Sundly.

"Cool, calm and strong – three words that describe Matt to a tee. While many divorce lawyers feel the need to take a bad situation and make it worse, Matt’s legal knowledge, experience and calming influence brings logic and reason to emotionally charged situations. He walks into Family Court strong, prepared and doesn’t waste time and energy on fluff or issues that don’t make a difference to the ultimate goal. I highly endorse Matt."

Gerald Maggio

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jun 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Matt was recently opposing counsel on a divorce case of mine and I found Matt to be a very strong, very hard-working advocate for his client, so much so that I knew that I had my work cut out for me in court and in the case. We settled our case on the day of trial although we were very prepared to litigate our case. What I think sets Matt apart is that despite being fully prepared, he did not rule out a negotiated settlement at the 11th hour where it ended up being in both of our client's best interests to do so. Matt handles himself with class, professionalism and ethics, and he is an asset to our legal profession."
