On a recent call to Matthew DeBoard, Esq., I was encouraged by his willingness to take an interest in helping me think through our case, even knowing we would not be hiring him personally in the matter. He helped to help connect me to two high quality attorneys he recommended who focus on the specific legal area I was dealing with. He was kind, professional, unhurried, and knowledgable. I would recommend him based on this one helpful and memorable interaction.

I got in touch with Matt DeBoard when I felt I had no other place to turn to get a down payment refund. After months of back and forth with the other party myself from the UK, I contacted Matt after seeing his/barlaws great reviews. I had a great initial call with Mr DeBoard, who gave clear and concise information and advice. Him and Matt Rygh quickly obtained a disbursement authorisation with a quick turnaround. Mr DeBoard kept me updated throughout, worked efficiently and effectively at a fantastic price! Despite being a small claim, I was treated as important as anyone else would be, from everyone within the tight knit attorneys office. I can not recommend this office highly enough. The way we have been dealt with and made to feel at ease has been 10/10. You really do not need to look anywhere else

This firm is the most efficient, professional and courteous law firm I have ever worked with and I’ve worked with a lot over 25 firms. Just wanted to say the whole staff was wonderful and did things in a very timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an Attorney. In this day and time it’s hard to find a firm with this type of etiquette, very honorable. Thank you for working with me and being my attorney.

Matt and his team at Barrister Law have helped me and my family for years through a range of issues. They have proven time and time again that there is no one else I'd rather turn to for legal help.Matt has navigated every issue with professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and excellent communication which has gotten results every time. I never felt in the dark about what was going on in my case or what to expect in the courtroom.Matt and his team truly care about what they are doing and invest themselves in the best outcome for their clients, going above and beyond expectations.I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best legal assistance, I have had only good experiences.

Owning a business I understand it can be hard at times to provide excellent customer service and even service. But when I contacted Matt at Barrister Law I could tell from the first phone call I was at the right place. Matt and everyone at Barrister Law kept me updated and took care of my case a lot faster vs what I thought.

I’ve been a client of Matt Rygh’s for years. He is very knowledgeable about the law and has always taken the time to explain the law to me in enough detail where I feel like I can make a truly informed decision. I frequently don’t like what he explains to me, but that’s because of how the law works. Not his fault, obviously. I feel a lot safer with him backing me up.

This team did a phenomenal job for a mutual client. We had the pleasure of working with Andrea and Allie.When asked to jump in and save the day (all during the craziness of the holiday season) after another Title Company dropped the ball - The Barrister Law Firm team jumped in and got new title work completed, reviewed and out within days.My team was overseeing the lending side and we were beyond impressed by the professionalism and speed that this team put forth. They came through for the seller and buyer in a major! A+ would recommend to anyone looking for Title Services

Honestly, Matt Rygh is my hero. My divorce situation was looking like I was going to completely lose everything, including my dog. My dog is my world, so before I met Matt, I was completely broken. Cried more than I ever had in my life. Not to mention how abusive and controlling my ex husband was. Within the first MINUTE of talking to Matt about my situation, I hadn’t even mentioned anything about my ex, he stopped me in my tracks and recognized EXACTLY what I was dealing with. I PROMISE YOU that you will not find another lawyer like Matt. He is intuitive, empathetic, fierce, steadfast, determined, and most of all calming. Like I said, I have never cried or been as emotional as I was during my divorce. Matt remained my constant rock of reassurance. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for him; because of Matt Rygh I get to hold my sweet dog and fall asleep with her every night without worry. There is NO ONE like him!!!

Matthew Deboard was a true professional. He literally travelled on last minute notice to our closing and helped us with any questions we had. He also explained what we should expect in fees from our new build home. Having him at our side made us feel more comfortable on closing. I would definitely recommend you use this law firm and ask for Matt if you need an attorney.

Brian Kiernicki

The team at Barrister Law was so easy and professional to work with. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and to any special requests. Aside from their great customer service, they were able to help us get what we needed and assisted us with a quick resolution to our issue. We can't thank them enough.

I am an attorney in Pennsylvania, and I was in need of an attorney to open an estate in Florida on behalf of a recently deceased client of mine. I was fortunate enough to speak directly with Matt DeBoard, Esq., provided him with enough detail about a contentious issue that needed to be resolved. He took all of the information and was in contact with my client's partner, and was able to handle matters directly and quickly. The client was extremely pleased with hi professionalism, and his responsiveness to any questions he had. I will certainly be happy to use him and his firm should the need ever arise again.

I needed a copy of my wife's power of attorney and health care surrogate faxed to our general practitioner. Carol Bunker was very responsive and faxed it over within and hour. It was a pleasure to be able to interface with a human rather than a computer.

Referred by another Attorney, I a Realtor contacted him and found him to be very knowledgeable, pleasant and extremely helpful in a Real Estate purchase I was envolved in. I would recommend his services to everyone specially if you are a Realtor or involved in a Real Estate transaction. Thank You Mr. Matthew DeBoard, Esq.

Michael Emanuel

Extremely knowledgeable!!! Plenty of helpful information on estates, probates and general real estate law. I couldn't have been happier working with Matt Deboard. Try reaching out first in a free consultation.After receiving months of wishy washy guidance from another firm, I was forced to look elsewhere. So glad I did. Matt helped me get from Point A to Point B through some rough waters and I always felt supported by him and his team. Very knowledgeable and flexible, sometimes calling me the evening before a holiday when I had concerns.I wouldn't hesitate to use their services and highly recommend you give them a call if you're in need!

Mike Derenthal

I know and and have worked with a lot of very good attorneys over the years and can personally attest to the fact that Matt's legal knowledge, strategic advice, and his grasp of the bigger picture makes him one of the best family law attorneys in Central Florida. I recommend him without pause to anyone who needs the right family law attorney in their corner.

Matt D. and Carol B. were a great help to me and my family to resolve my uncle's probate case. Considering the county jurisdiction we had to work in is known for being a bit trying, I am so glad they were here to help us navigate that maze. This is the best experience I've ever had working with a law firm so I would happily recommend them to everyone I know.

Fred Waller

Had an initial consultation with Matt Deboard today. Was blown away by how much he was willing to share. He gave my wife and I some great guidance and first steps before we even hire him which was selfless on his part. He also shared with us a connection that may help. I chose to call him because of the reviews I read. So impressed with him so I had to share a review. When is google going to allow a 6 out of 5

The team at Barrister Law Firm did an excellent job through my father's probate. I live in a different state and most of our communication was done via email. They always answered all of my questions promptly and thoroughly. The entire process was smooth and seamless. Highly recommend!

Ellie Bowen

I am beyond grateful I made the decision to trust my case with Matt Rygh. Matt took the time to understand my needs and then came along side me and fought the good fight for me. I would definitely recommend Matt Rygh to anyone who is looking for a thorough attorney who cares and will be there for you when you need him.

Fred Gates

1585938548

Matt was referred to me by another well-respected attorney in the Orlando area. He did not feel he was the best suited to handle my issue but called me personally, spent over 40 minutes on the phone with me discussing my options and referred me someone he knows and trusts. I sent an email to Matt in the evening and received a call before 10:00a.m. You can't ask for better than that.

Daniel Wilson

1583343366

I have personally used Matt Rygh with Barrister Law, and can't thank him enough for all the hard work he has done to help over the years. One of the best criminal law, probate law, real estate law, and family law attorneys I know of in Orlando, Florida. Matt's communication, and dedication to his clients is above five star service. His knowledge of all the legal procedures, and effectiveness to help in your case has always been fantastic. I am glad to refer Matt & Barrister Law to my friends and family.

THIS is the guy you're looking for if you need anything done in real estate!I'm a real estate investor that was desperately looking for a competent, courteous and responsive real estate attorney. I started with Matt Deboard at Barrister law more than a year ago. HE'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! He is, bar none (yes i see the pun), the most friendly and dedicated attorney I have worked with in my entire life. So many attorneys only care about raking in endless retainers and never call you back and you only hear from them when your retainer is low. So many attorneys have no interest in talking to you no matter how many messages you leave. Not Matt - he's incredibly responsive, works very, very hard and is wildly communicative.But best of all: he knows his stuff and he's built an incredible reputation with judges around central florida as a trustworthy and reliable attorney.I'm thankful that, over time, he's become not just my trusted attorney for real estate but also for estate planning and a friend.

The Barrister law firm contacted me within 24 hours after my initial inquiry. Judy was very helpful and answered all of my probate questions. She even researched some confusing aspects about my particular probate situation and was able to explain everything to me. It was such a pleasure to talk to someone who understands the process. This is the law firm I will be using in the future.- Joelle Hansen

I contacted this law firm to look over a contract for house. Dropped it off Oct. 15, 21 and the check $750 that day. Told them I needed this response right away. Never heard from the attorney until Tuesday. Told them needed response on Monday and the Attorney did not call or email till Tuesday. I went into office Monday and picked up my check. Over booked and to busy to handle his case load. Do not go here!
