His secretary told me I had zero chance of winning a case against my daughters father who is extremely abusive. She told me that he would have to smack me and I would have to call the police in order to win even though I had already told her he tried to kill me. Showed zero sympathy. I chose not to book a meeting with Mr Tyson for that exact reason.

I pride myself on my reviews and this one is disappointing. It's clear you're upset and that's never something I want my clients to feel. If you're a client, you have my cell phone number. Please give me a call and let's discuss this. You mentioned I'd be enjoyable to grab a cold one with, and I'm also happy to discuss over a drink on me. Despite the bad review, I appreciate you stating that you've recommended me to other people.

I opted to hire Matt based upon his stellar reviews. I only wish I could say my experience was half so good as he apparently has been to clients willing to review him. Perhaps anyone else in my situation is intimidated to leave a review? Seems odd, but I guess that could be the case. Initially, I was very impressed with Matt. He was prompt in returning my calls, even if he was prone to using lots of profanity. I didn't mind that so much, since I had a few choice words for my own ex, and I felt Matt would still be a good choice as my attorney. I regret sticking with him. I was lied to, or at least he conveniently forgot what he told me he thought would be realistic to fight for. I wasn't his only client, so I willingly let it slide, but when I outright asked him his professional opinion on my situation, he informed me he couldn't provide me that. He's represented how many clients in a divorce case, and yet he couldn't even provide me his opinion? There were lots of instances that just didn't add up, such as having his office constantly email me at an address I never provided them- one that I repeatedly informed them I had no access to. Matt is honestly a seemingly nice guy; someone that vibes as the type you could throw back a cold one with. That's great but that doesn't mean he's the best attorney option for everyone. Since this is a review on my personal experience, it is quite low. However, I would never tell someone to outright avoid him, and I have since recommend him to someone else, though I explained she should speak with multiple attorneys before making her selection.

Matt Tyson is a wonderful attorney and person. He is very informative, concise, and detailed. He made the learning process easy in an not so easy case. I suggest using Matt if you are in need. He is one of the best guys for the job. Thank you Matt!

Matt Tyson is aggressive, enthusiastic, even-keeled and tells you like it is. He will fight for you in the courtroom and tell you whether or not it's worth it to fight your battle or whether he will help craft the best settlement for your circumstances. Don't hesitate to call him. You will be glad you did.

This review is notable in that it is not from a client of mine. Unfortunately, due to the attorney client privilege, I cannot comment on this public forum. With every client, we always evaluate the pros and cons of their individual case together. Any decisions made on the case are made with the clients full knowledge and approval. I can state that I do not charge anyone interest, as that is not how attorney fees work. Additionally, the mediation process described by this person is basically accurate. In mediation, the parties are in separate rooms and do not see each other. The mediator goes between the rooms to, ideally, facilitate a settlement. Whether that is ridiculous or not, its required by the court.

Please realize the 'gift' of a star stems from the inability to provide less; regardless, I proffered $5,000 for the firm to locate the son of my fiance who had recently been taken from school surreptitiously an hour before school exited and despite his backpack bearing warnings installed by the school not to let the child leave with the man who bore no legal documentation even hinting at a relationship (birth certificate, etc). The law office informed us that the process might take some time, but almost invariably resulted in a return of considerable funds in addition to a positive custodial arrangement in favor of the mother (who in this case, raised the child without assistance of any kind from the father, nor did she even hear from the father for the over a year of the child's life). The process did indeed take an extremely long time, and when the man was found we were advised that Mediation must be completed prior to any court rulings. I was not allowed to be present, but the document she was enticed to sign (despite an obvious lack of legalese, failed to provide any of the warm sounding expectations emphasized when securing the 5000 capital, which was no insignificant sum to her, but nothing she wouldn't magnify for a reasonable settlement. When I called, admittedly somewhat irate at her treatment, I was told she got the best she could hope for since it had been months since she had visited the child. We were waiting for the law firm to track down the man who had absconded with the child. Ridiculous. In exception to this, my fiance was called after receiving Mediation papers from this man, and an offer to let her attend a birthday celebration if she agreed to get rid of her fiance (myself), in the hardly subtle expectation that she choose the man, I'll call the defendant, to take my place at her side. Instead of apologies, or the repeatedly suggested return of initial investment, I was sent an additional bill asking for half again as much with further interest charges should I not act quickly. I am uncertain as to the veracity of this final statement, but the "defendant' advised that all this was accomplished without his hiring a lawyer or attending the mitigation in person at all. My fiance, confirmed that the 'defendant' remained sequestered upstairs and never spoke with her or her lawyer to her knowledge. Perhaps that's standard? If so, it seems ridiculous as well. Something stinks in Denmark, and I'm afraid not so far from home if you live in Houston. Wipe this location of your map if custody is your desire.
