This was a difficult, long and drawn out custody case lasting over 4 years with several litigations by contentious Respondent. After a 10year gap of no interaction or relations with child, other parent wanted to go back to old custody order of 1/2 legal/physical custody and joint decision making. I had obtained a temporary full legal physical order during that time due to op arrest. This never got amended and now years later child has no recollection of op (who is virtual stranger) who wants to uproot and disrupt their life with drastic changes. Matt was recommended by friend which I hired on short notice. Matt was able to take my case with just 1 week before my court date. We contested the motion and countered, Matt was able to get me permanent legal & physical custody along with child support & back pay. Moving forth op did have opportunity for gradual parenting time with reunification therapy. Therapist resigned due to op behavior and we went back to court. My child no longer has to go through the process of reunification and no longer required parenting time against their wishes and op has to pay my attorney fees due to unnecessary litigation. Matt listens, is non-judgmental and responsive with questions, he is honest, knowledgeable and logical on the capacity of the case outcome. He is patient, understanding and does not let emotions nor anger from adversarial parties involved distort or distract from the case and facts. I was allowed to express my input and give suggestions on things I felt were important to include in the case. He even researched and found exhibits that benefited my case I was not aware of. Matt, Patrick and Jen are rockstars and I couldn't of asked for a more competent team in getting the ideal outcome for both me and my child. I highly recommend him especially if you have a difficult and complicated custody case.

Do not waste your time, energy, and money. This attorney will do nothing you hire him for, not experienced, not strong, plus will try to harass and scare. Will lie and try to charge even if you fired him long time ago. Do not recommend. He even was not able to get to the of Minnesota Law School. Unprofessional and lies a lot.

Matt (Matthew)Gilbert is the worst attorney! He is dishonest, harasser, and terribly weak as attorney. If you ever become his client, he will harass you 2 years after you fired him and creates imaginary fees even he is not your attorney and was fired. He is not sharp either! He lost many of his deals, do research! He done absolutely nothing for me, got fired, the court order all fees to be covered by my husband. 3 years after firing him, he sends me harassing letters, in each of them changing tie amount I own him. Even though I don’t own him any money! But the truth is on my side! Very unprofessional and lier! If you want the worst person, here is your man!

This was the first law firm we appointed to help with my son's divorce. We had hoped this law firm could assist our family in this matter in which we were completely wrong. We have spent the last year in a horrible mess which just keeps continuing. If Matt is such an expert in family law we would not be in this situation presently. His skills of OFPs, legal laws in other states and marriage counsel was an issue. We would recommend another firm for any type of family legal matters.

Matt Gilbert is a nice guy. If you just want to hire a nice guy then Matt Gilbert is the man. However, if you want to hire a lawyer that will actually listen to you, and actually stand up for what you want, then this is not the lawyer you'll want to hire. Frustrating to work with and not as experienced as you'll want in a skilled lawyer. Keep scrolling and you can find better. I can not recommend him

Very receptive, easy to talk to, professional, & extremely accessible...definitely recommend to any family needing legal assistance...

I have used a few attorneys in the past, and Matt is by far the best I've used. He very clearly looks out for what is best for his clients, and offers great advice. His invoicing is spot on, and he doesn't overcharge his clients. I will recommend him to anyone that I know!

I had a consultation set up, told him I would call back if I wanted to use him, I called back, left a voicemail and a week later still haven't heard anything back. I'll bring my money somewhere else.

After three long years and three different lawyers in an effort to divorce my husband, No so called reputable attorney was able to get me support. In my darkest moment with little to no money left, I was blessed to find Matt Gilbert. He was sympathetic, brilliant, and 100% ethical. Extremely sensitive to the rights of females. He got me through trial with excellent results! I refer to Matt as my Atticus Finch. I highly recommend Matt as your starting place. I can promise you, you will not regret it. His fees are fair and not padded. Matt is truly devoted to the spirit of his profession, not focused on his own financial gain.

I was so fortunate that an good friend suggested Matthew Gilbert to represent me in my divorce. Matthew Gilbert handled all matters swiftly and better than I thought possible! I was married 25 years. I had never been divorced and had no idea the steps or the legal process. He always made me at ease that I could ask ANY question. Matthew explained things so I was able to relax. This was important to me. My divorce was settled better than I considered possible!!!!!! I'm so thrilled he was suggested to me. If you need a lawyer, chose him! You will be happy. I can promise you that!

Matt did what was needed for a speedy divorce (4 months) with as little drama as possible AND I didn't give away the farm! No, it is not cheap….but this is relative isn’t it?? I was referred to Matt from a friend that only consulted with him. She ended up not using an attorney at all in her divorce. She was referred to him from a friend that was up AGAINST Matt in his divorce. That was enough for me to consult with Matt. Matt was grounding for me and helped me to decrease the emotion that I was feeling and did not escalate it. He was very matter of fact, positive and centered on the facts. I had waited, thinking that my divorce was too complicated. In dealing with my now X's attorney, Matt was factual and very comfortable. Matt showed he could handle conflict with colleagues as well as handle my emotions with this negotiation. He understood the way to get things done efficiently and get a positive outcome. I was ready at certain times to give away the farm just to be done. Matt was the stabilizer. He was calm and reserved, yet efficient. Listening to my concerns and giving the "why" behind his actions made me not only comfortable, but optimistic about the outcome. He knew his way around a courtroom and that was evident. When others said that we didn't need to do certain things, Matt never lead me down the wrong road. I would whole heartedly recommend Matt! He was wonderful and made me feel like I was his special client. This is invaluable in a divorce situations, as well others I am sure
