My experience having Matthew Streff as an attorney was a nightmare. Once I submitted payment for his services, he went purposefully silent. He would not return my calls or texts unless I threat to report him to the bar. He has no ethics or respect for me as a client. He always had an excuse to justify his absence and would not do his job or take any accountability for his poor and unprofessional behavior. I can’t imagine a worse attorney in Minnesota. Hiring Matthew Streff was the worst mistake I ever made. He was awful. Check his background before hiring him and you will see for yourself who he is.

I was connect Mattew stress through my best freind.I talked to him on the phone one time in 2020 after that he is not responding my email or text for a month and refused to see me.he cancel my court appointment too.he is very unprofessional.he doesn’t have office or place to meet his clients.in five week he was cancelled my appointments.every time he is saying he have emergency or had car accidents or doesn’t have anywhere to meet me.after giving him a year of chance to make up he failed and refused to refund my money. He is scummed please be careful.I never comment on public place in my Life but I know what I go through with this attorney. He is Lier

Worst lawyer I have ever worked with. Started with him hoping he can assist in obtaining permanent residency and work permit. At the time i had an I-20. He used all the sweet words to convince me he's up for the task and after I hired him that's when his games began. He would promise to call my employer and explain how he would get me the work permit after the expiration my OPT but he would never call. Then he'd call me with some BS excuses as to why he couldn't make it to call my employer. After a while my employer told me this guy is a joke and he won't wait for his call any longer since he actually never called as he promised. Almost 6 months later and he had not filled anything despite having paid. I found another lawyer and all my paper work were taken care off within a month and obtained a work permit three week which Mathew could not get in 6 months. I'd never recommend anyone to him.

I was mistakenly charged with a crime, Mr.Streff was there every step of the way, knowing exactly what to do! Don't hesitate to schedule a consult. He saved my life from becoming very complicated. Would recommend any day.

If you would like to know more please contact me and I would be very happy to help your case. We are still waiting for the hard copy of our documentation to be returned. Even the Minnesota bar doesn't seem to have any control over getting this "attorney" to return our file to us. I could go on for many pages which is why you are best contacting me for further information.

I hired Matthew back in August 2019 to work on my husband's spousal visa. We were living in Ireland so we connected with him by phone. He seemed very professional at first when he was onboarding us. Then, as I gathered all of our documents and had questions he began to not reply to emails. I would have to follow up 3 or more times to get him to answer. He would take over 2 weeks to respond to urgent questions regarding my case. I finally scheduled a phone call with him through his online booking system. He failed to show up 2x. He said he was sick or in a car accident. I finally told him I was unhappy with his service and uncomfortable with him handling my sensitive information. He refused to give me a refund even though he failed to uphold his agreed upon service outlined in our contract. I felt neglected as a customer. He eventually stopped responding to any form of communication and did not want to resolve the matter so I had to escalate my case to the Minnesota bar.

Matt is a great attorney, and an active member of our neighborhood community. He has helped us and other neighbors with legal questions and issues, and his advice is always valued. He is a talkative, friendly person and I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Be so very careful with this attorney. He does not care about representing your case. It all seemed great when we first hired him back in the beginning of December 2018, but then he became more and more distant as soon as he had access to our checking account. He knew of our special scenario to have the papers filed ASAP, he knew my husband had already dished out $360 for his medical exam that expired in 60 days of hire date. He knew we already had the forms filled out for him, we just needed a review and the "insurance" of having an attorney sign off on the papers. We kept getting excuse after excuse for why he had not even sent drafts over to us. We provided anything and everything we needed to support our case in a timely manner. After the medical exam expired, he promised that "taking of one month of payments" would cover the cost of not filing within the well-known time limit we made extremely clear to him. After weekly excuses or, just straight up not responding, of why he had not sent the drafts over for review, we called his office and wanted to terminate the relationship. Funny enough we actually heard from after 10 minutes of calling to say the drafts would be ready that week. We FINALLY received our drafts February 26, 2019. Now he knew we had only another 60 days to file after spending yet another $100 to renew the medical papers beginning of March 2019. We were told that he would file the papers that week. Another 1-2 weeks goes by, nothing. After trying to contact him over and over for updates, we were yet again made empty promises on filing completion. After making it clear we needed them filed by April, we still had not heard from him. My husband contacts him yet again for an update April 1st, and he completely snaps on him. I have attached a screenshot of his unprofessional manner. I can't believe this guy still had a business if that's how he reacts to pressure. Needless to say we fired him. Now we are out $700, the medical fees, and 4 months of our lives put on hold just to cater to this excuse of a man. I have been working 2, now 3 jobs to support the both of us, trying to get his work verification sent out so I can maybe have a life outside of work. Relying on Matthew Streff, and giving him countless chances was the worst decision of my life. If you want an attorney who is in communication with you in a timely manner or follows through, look somewhere else.

Matthew guided me through an daunting period of court appearances spanning over a year. Each time he was diligent, communicative and professional. He explained the technicalities of each hearing in an accessible way, keeping me well informed and feeling secure. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the legal process, offering mutable solutions to any obstacles. I am truly blessed to have had Matthew as my attorney and will be returning for any future legal needs.

Went to see this attorney to consult him for legal advise and he answered my questions very well and took the time to understand the situation. I would recommend this attorney. Thanks!!

I found Mr Matt Streff by Advocates for Humans Rights, the best what had happened to me, since that i have felt very good represented. I recommend him to everyone who wants to be in good hands. Very professional and gentle lawyer. Thanks so much for your time.

I found Matthew Streff through Avvo, and he provided with excellence everything that I needed from a legal standpoint. His knowledge and expertise in immigration and criminal laws was the combination I was looking for in a lawyer. I was facing a criminal charge when I hired Matthew, and he was able to get me the outcome that I needed, which prevented me from having any complications to get my permanent resident card ("Green Card"). I was particularly impressed with a motion that Matthew put together to prove that the way I was treated by probation was wrong and unconstitutional. His writing and arguments were outstanding and very convincing. Matthew's schedule is busy as a result of his cases and clients, but he gets his work very well done. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone who is looking for a knowleagble immigration lawyer who also knows criminal law. That's a great combination, and Matthew Streff has it.
