Stout Law, PLLC

I worked with Matt at Stout Law, PLLC to create a custom rental lease package for my property, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Matt has extensive knowledge of landlord law and property management, making him an excellent resource for any landlord in need of consulting or legal support. He took the time to walk me through every detail of the package, catered to my specific requests, and made sure I fully understood the documentation by breaking down the legal jargon into plain English. His patience, professionalism, and ability to simplify complex legal concepts made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond his expertise, Matt is just a great person to work with--friendly, personable, and always courteous. I highly recommend him to anyone navigating landlord or lease contract law. If you're in this space, Matt is the go-to attorney!

I worked with Matt at Stout Law regarding a landlord-tenant dispute. He was professional, kind, and timely. I would highly recommend!

In 30 years of working Real Estate in the Grand Rapids area, I would like to say that I have experienced everything. However, a situation came up, that I had never run into before. Bringing Matthew and his team in definitely typed the scales in my favor. Luckily, Matthew had experience with my issue! He successfully negotiated a settlement that was acceptable to all parties! Many thanks for the great work Matthew!

Matthew took our case all the way to trial against the defendants who damaged our property and threatened us. He brought confidence and stability to a frustrating and difficult situation, especially when opposing counsel from a large law firm was behaving belligerently and allowing their clients to run amok. Matthew did a great job picking up where we left off in our meetings. He struck a good balance between providing strong advice based on his experience and allowing me to have input and follow my instincts when appropriate. I believe we made a great team, and I enjoyed working with him.

Expert, personable team with great integrity! We never thought we would be in the position to sue someone but here we are and have learned a lot thanks to this team. After buying our first home, we discovered the previous owners covered up serious foundation issues but neglected to disclose anything on the Seller's Disclosure, therefore committing fraud. We met with multiple lawyers to hear our case, including a a consultation with Matthew Stout and he clearly stood out among the rest. He understood our situation, explained the process & several options we could take, was very informative, answered a ton of our questions, and wanted to reach a conclusion tailored to our concerns without compromising integrity. He did not pressure us into any decisions in the entire process. He gave us information-, explaining pros, cons, and potential outcomes- so we could make an informed decision on our own. The team at Stout law took the time to understand us and our situation and truly stood for us. They represented our values and perspectives throughout the entire process when deliberating with the opposing party. The team was thorough and firm in their stance and demands to the opposing party. They are extremely knowledgeable of real estate law, including relevant case studies, which was evident all along the way. When we confronted the opposing party, the team at Stout Law expertly captured our concerns and communicated them forthright. They also were forthright with demands to reach a legal conclusion. Matthew always gave us an opportunity to review communications before they went out to ensure we were on the same page. We had several back-and-forth communications with the opposing party and Matthew kept us involved every step of the way- not just involved/present, but participants. We feel like they truly represented us throughout the entire situation.
