Law Office of Matt Tyson, PLLC

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with this firm. From my very first conversation with Matt, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to answer my questions, clarify so many of my doubts and concerns, and calm a lot of the fear and anxiety I had going into the process. Their knowledge and expertise are truly top-notch. After nearly 20 years of legal battles and experiences that left me feeling taken advantage of, I had developed what I jokingly called “legal PTSD.” Diane and the team honestly cured it. For the first time in a very long time, I felt like I had attorneys I could genuinely trust and who were looking out for me, and I don't have to worry about every little detail, reflected by the number of email I sent in the initial phase of our engagement... Diane, it was also such a pleasure finally meeting you in person. I am incredibly grateful for everything you did for me. The outcome I received would not have happened without your knowledge, guidance, and hard work. One of the biggest things I’m taking away from this experience is the peace of mind of knowing exactly who I can turn to if I ever need legal assistance again. Thank you, Matt, Diane, and the entire team for everything. You have my sincere gratitude and highest recommendation.

If you’re lying awake at night reading attorney reviews because your entire life has changed and you have no idea who to trust, I hope this review finds you. Not long ago, I was doing the exact same thing. I came to The Law Office of Matt Tyson during one of the most difficult times of my life. I was scared, exhausted, and trying to protect my children while navigating a situation I never imagined I would be in. I had regrettably started my case with another attorney, and by the time I found this firm, I was terrified of what could and couldn’t be fixed. Finding Matt Tyson, Diane Ruel, and their team changed the direction of everything for me. Diane stepped into a difficult situation she didn’t create and helped me find my footing again. She gave me clarity when I felt completely lost, advocated for me when I needed someone in my corner, and understood that behind every legal decision were three children whose lives mattered more to me than anything. I have so much appreciation for Diane, not only for what she has done for my family, but for everything I’ve learned from her along the way. She helped me understand when to fight, when to take a step back, and how to look at situations with more clarity instead of through fear. I came to her needing an attorney, but I’m walking away from this experience stronger, more informed, and with lessons I will carry with me long after the legal process is over. I will always be grateful for the honesty, and guidance she gave me during such an important time in my life. I’m incredibly grateful for Ms. Castillo and Ms. Sada as well, and I will always remember Suzanne for being such a comforting voice from my very first contact with the firm. You don’t realize how much choosing the right attorney matters until it’s your children, your stability, and your future hanging in the balance. I learned that lesson the hard way, but I am so thankful I ultimately found the right people. So, to the person reading review after review wondering who to trust: take this as your sign. Choose Tyson Family Law. I will forever be grateful that I did.

From my first conversation with Matt, many of my fears about the case fell away and I felt I had someone extremely competent on my side. As someone with almost no experience of legal proceedings of any kind, I was daunted by the stack of papers that had landed the week before, headed "Petition for Divorce." Matt's calm and his command of the subject as he took me through the details were beyond reassuring, and I can't overstate what that did for my state of mind at the time. The case went to Josh Avelar, and Josh has been incredible. My situation seemed fraught with complications I thought would be hard to navigate. My divorce came in the middle of a family move out of state, while we were also renovating and selling our house, so we were bridging law in two states at once. Josh was excellent at identifying the information that actually mattered. He explained things in plain language, and he was patient with the abundance of questions I had, which mattered enormously to me. On the morning of the hearing he called me early to walk me through exactly what would happen. I attended by Zoom from out of state, having never been in a courtroom in my life, and at no point did I feel lost. We settled temporary orders rather than fighting them out, and thanks to Josh's careful negotiating I’m extremely happy with terms we landed on. I'm very thankful to have had Josh and Matt on my side.

Everyone was professional and all went smoothly

Matt handled my family law case and I really appreciated how he approached it clear communication throughout, straightforward about what to expect, and responsive whenever I had questions. It's not an easy situation to be in, and having an attorney who was steady and professional through it made a real difference. Would recommend him to anyone going through something similar.
