Garmo & Kiste, PLC

I have worked with Matt V. for a little over a year on a defaulted student loan debt. Throughout the entire legal process Matt was always open and honest about my case and the potential outcomes. Although the initial outcome was not what I had hoped for he did prepare me for the worst case scenario should it happen. After the judgment he went above and beyond to better the outcome and achieved a settlement agreement that worked for me. I am very happy with the service provided by Matt, his communication with me was consistent and always on time. He will be my go-to guy should I or anyone close to me encounter another legal situation.

UPDATE: Thankfully Garmo & Kiste, after reading this review, was able to refer me to a wonderful bankruptcy attorney (Brian & Ted @ Yaldou Law) who did an absolutely amazing job. Still unfortunate that I needed one in the first place, however, it was a kind gesture on their part. Would absolutely not recommend Matt VanStinkiste as an attorney to represent you in a divorce. He was affordable and was a seemingly nice person. He always answered my questions when things were complicated. I actually trusted him, and thought that he would fight for the best possible outcome for my children and I in my divorce and mediation; Only to have him request that I "release him as my attorney" if I did not sign a mediation agreement which left me with 70,000 in joint credit card debt. I signed the agreement because Matt assured me that if my husband was held partially responsible that he would file bankruptcy on his portion of the debt and I would be stuck with the debt anyway....The outcome was me filing for bankruptcy! While consulting with my bankruptcy attorney I was told that my husband absolutely should have been responsible to repay his portion of the debt, and that debt assigned in a divorce is non-dis-chargeable by way of bankruptcy! Apparently he thought that it would have been too costly for me to hold my husband accountable for his portion of the marital debt or that by the end of it I would have owed so much that I couldn't pay him. Very unfortunate, as regardless of how much it would have cost me to be able to come out of this divorce at least able to stand on my own two feet, I would have made every effort to pay him promptly. Incredibly disappointed to find out that life after divorce for his client was not a priority for him, I really thought he would have represented me much better.

I can’t say enough good things about this law firm. Brian handled my case and there were so many ups, downs, and curve balls along this journey. This firm TRULY cares about the clients and clients needs. You will never find a better law firm in my book. I went through a very difficult divorce all the way around, Brian always helped me to decide the most cost effective ctive options for my case. I have heard of people being put through the financial ringer with attorneys, that is not the case with this law firm at all...Thanks so much for everything!

I found Matt on a Google search, read the great reviews and reached out to him for help for a family need. I feel very blessed that we were able to find Matt on such short notice! He did a wonderful job at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.
