Matt and Diane are the best! They're honest and communicate every step of the way. Hiring them for my daughter and grandson was the best decision we could have made. They helped her understand the whole process and got the best possible outcome. We've needed a couple of consultations since, and Matt has always been upfront and told my daughter how to handle each situation. He doesn't nickel-and-dime you. He works for you to get the best outcome.

Matt explained everything clearly and directly. He put my mind at ease and gave me a better understanding of my situation. I’d highly recommend that you give him a call with any family law issues.

Suzzane and Matt are rock stars! Matt delivered on every priority that I outlined in our consultation. He was transparent about the process and where he felt I had options and where I did not. Worth every penny.

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.

I’m very grateful for the experience I had with this office. Matt, Diane, and Suzanne were all wonderful to work with. From the beginning, I felt genuinely listened to and never felt like just another client. They were professional, compassionate, responsive, and took the time to make sure I understood what was happening throughout the process. Their support and attention to my concerns meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate everything they did and would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking for a team that listens, cares, and treats their clients with respect.

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.

Matt does not listen to client desire to settle no matter what the cost, I spent $34,000 with Zero results had to identify new attorney willing to listen and work. Brooke Raybon is no better and will not even supply her cell number during zoom hearings so you can text back and forth, Something seriously wrong at this firm. He offered me credits on my bill to take down bad reviews. Unethical Naturally, I expected Matt Tyson to not take any responsibility for the bad review or address the real issues. If anything he is consistent... I was hopeful he would accept some of his short comings or at least address what he believes he and his team could of done better in rerpesenting me, but I'm not suprized by his comments below..

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.
