Matt Cortez Law, PC

I've worked with Matt Cortez and his law firm on several cases and have always been impressed with their professionalism, communication, and results. Matt is straightforward and willing to have the hard conversations that clients need to hear, which shows how much he cares about helping people make the best decisions. He and his team keep you informed every step of the way, and they handle matters with both efficiency and genuine concern. I've referred three friends to Matt, and each one has told me how pleased they were with his representation and outcomes. If you want an attorney who combines expertise, honesty, and dedication, I highly recommend Matt Cortez and his firm.

I was brought into a lawsuit through my husband's business, and it was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. From the very beginning, Matt Cortez showed compassion, patience, and professionalism. He explained every step in clear terms, guided me through decisions I never thought I'd have to make, and made me feel protected the entire way. What impressed me most was Matt's ability to balance being straightforward and honest with being reassuring and supportive. He never avoided the tough conversations, but he delivered them with care. Because of his guidance and skill, what could have been overwhelming became manageable, and we achieved a positive outcome. I'm deeply grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

I called Matt Cortez's office during a rough dispute I was having with a business partner. Matt Cortez was able to obtain a judgment within 12 months, including have to deal with out of state defendants. The way he strategized everything and was able to do this was very impressive. He is an out of the box thinking attorney, very strategic and clever. I never had to share details with him more than once- he paid attention to everything and understood everything. I'm going to use them for another case now.

I had a very disappointing experience with Matt and his office staff. My case was in process for just shy of 3 years with the majority of communication initiated by me asking for status on my case. His office manager, Janelle, would text me at crazy hours in the morning 4:30am, 6:30am, asking me to send documents the office already had and were confirmed by Matt. Matt stated he had received other complaints about Janelle so he moved her from Office Manager to merely doing Discovery and was looking to hire someone else. Months later he hired Tu. Tu was better, but I often had to send follow up emails as the first ones were not responded to. When requesting a phone meeting with Matt, he always started the conversation telling me how rushed he was and how he has so many other clients to address that are in crisis. I never felt valued. On more than one occasion, he didn't call for our scheduled appointment (more than 45 minutes after the set time). My time was not valued. When I made an appointment to discuss items in the Discovery paperwork, he was not prepared and stated he hadn't read it yet. My date of incident was listed incorrectly on court documents by his staff, and no one in his office caught it, except me. Upon completion of my Deposition (January), I asked what our next move was and Matt stated he would reach out to opposing counsel in 1-2 weeks to discuss a settlement. Well that didn't happen. I reached out in February, March, April still asking about settling. He admitted later that he didn't do it, when stated. The courts had a Settlement Conference date listed on paperwork in June. I reached out to his office 2 days prior asking what time I needed to meet them and the address for the court. (2 email requests later, the day before the conference, I received a response from Tu that the date was changed to February). I had already taken off work. Had I not reached out, when would I have been notified? Matt also stated his office would reach out 100 days before Trial to make an appointment to discuss and prepare - that didn't happen. Each time I pointed out an error or issue Matt would state it was a miscommunication, often not taking accountability. I never left our conversations feeling confident, secure or reassured about his office and his ability to handle my case. Rather, I left conversations hurt, frustrated and discouraged. Upon discussing with Matt my disappointments with the handling of my case, horrible communication, and the progress, I decided to end my case. I emailed his office staff and was told they would let Matt know. Several weeks later I received a copy of the court case dismissal in an email that stated, "Here is a copy for your records." I'm disappointed in the lack of professionalism and customer service. I would not recommend Matt or his office.

As an Escrow Officer, I often work with clients who find themselves in challenging situations. Matt has successfully assisted several of my clients with the sale of their homes, particularly through Heggstad petitions, helping them avoid probate complications. He is experienced, reliable, and someone I trust completely. I will always refer Matt with confidence.
