Crider Law Group

Very pleased with my experience with Matthew. Matthew set up my estate plan documents including my Trust, Will, Living Will, Power of Attorney and Advance Healthcare Directive. At the end of the process he delivers a binder with all original documents laid out and all instructions to fund the trust. He also included an electronic copy of all documents.
Matthew was responsive to my questions and explained every step of the process.

I hired Matthew Crider to help me with my divorce last October. Since then he has kept in constant contact with me keeping updated on the development of my case as well as just checking in to make sure things were going alright. Last Friday we had to go to a court hearing because even though my divorce was uncontested my (now ex) husband never sent in any of the required paperwork. I was so scared of how things would turn out but Mr. Crider went with me to the court hearing and I walked out with the best outcome possible! I highly recommend him for any legal matters you have related to family law!

We had a really good experience with Matthew in setting up our trust and estate plan. Everything was organized to make it as easy as possible for us, while addressing the difficult questions about the future.
Matthew explains legal concepts clearly and concisely. The output (documents organized in a binder, filings with the necessary places, etc.) was very professional. The reminders about our «to do» items were pleasant, but diligent and persistent.
In all, this met my expectations and then some. I hope to make this rating a «5» when this advice and counsel is more severely tested in the future.

I hired Matthew to handle my divorce through a pre paid legal plan. I felt as if I was at the bottom of his priority list. Although Matthew was a nice guy, and seemed to know what he was talking about, he is extremely hard to get in touch with and never answers the phone. It takes days sometimes weeks to get an email response. I had to redo several documents because they were time sensitive and by the time he got to them, they were outdated.

Matthew Crider was my attorney for a conservator case. He had facts wrong on multiple occasions, costing extra money, I felt he inadequately represented me, so much so that I went to another attorney two months before I finally fired him to get a second opinion. That attorney said that his work was so so, but that other attorney also told me that there were forms filed with incomplete info, that I should take a different path than the one I was on with Matthew, among other things. I stayed with Mathew, thinking we were almost finished, but told him that we needed to change paths. After over 8000 dollars and nowhere near resolution, Matthew suggested we just go with the courts recommendation because he didn’t see how we could win. My new attorney is going back and fixing what Matthew did wrong. Matthew offered to write off my bill if I would take down a bad review from another website. When I refused his offer, he asked me if I was ready for a slander lawsuit. He’s a terrible lawyer and a complete waste of good money. My new attorney is half the price.

Nobody like to think about that day when you will no longer be able, or be around to manage your affairs, but it has to be done. Crider Law is a great place to face up to that responsibility and get the professional advice and guidance to get the whole thing done. Matthew is a good listener and a pleasant person to work with.

Matthew was very professional, kind, and efficient when setting up my trust/​estate. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of any of the services he offers.

Matt is a very diligent and thorough attorney of whom I have the deepest respect.
