About

In his very first year as an attorney, Matt made over two hundred in-court appearances throughout the State of Michigan where he began to form what would become an extensive network and friendship with the Attorneys, Prosecutors and Judges which inhabit the counties of Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Washtenaw, and Lapeer, those counties in which Garmo &Kiste regularly work. Dedicated to his work, Matt prides himself in the level of service which he provides his clients regardless of the level of difficulty of their case. Always in contact with his client, Matt represents every client with the mindset that he would do the same job for them that he would do for his own family. A graduate of Wayne State University, one of the greatest advantages of hiring Matt is the connections he brings to the process. Admitted to practice in the State and Federal jurisdictions of Michigan, typically Matt will have had a similar case to yours;and will know the prosecutor or City attorney assigned to your case. Likewise, if you case concerns a credit card or an unpaid debt, there is a good chance Matt may have worked for the debt collector, or may know the attorney your creditor has hired.  A certified public mediator and a member of the Macomb, Oakland and American Bar associations Matt has been before every Judge in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, and Lapeer Counties. These relationships and past experiences all help Matt to understand and anticipate a Judge’s reactions to your case, to know how your prosecutor will want to proceed, and to negotiate with your adversaries’ attorney, and to obtain the best deal for his clients in efforts of removing as much uncertainty from the legal process as possible.  Unlike many attorneys, Matt offers the personalized attention to each of his clients that they demand, and promises to represent each of his clients as if they were his family. Every day Matt looks forward to doing everything he can to earn your business and make you a client for life. Matt’s primary source of clients is from his own current and past clients and he looks forward to assisting your friends and family as well.  Matt’s Direct Phone Number is 248-398-7100, ext. 1. He can also be reached via email at [email protected]

When I first spoke with Matt he was very helpful and showed genuine interest and care after I explained my situation we hung up and I called back 10 minutes later and hired him when he accepted my case he and his staff worked on my case very diligently calling me with updates keeping me in the loop the one thing that sets Matt apart from other lawyers is he never let me worry and that was huge for me then as expected he won my case with a dismissal I will always use Matt for any legal matters that come up in my life thank you Matt.

I can’t articulate the scope of ugliness my divorce wrought on my life in 4000 characters, so I won’t try. The volume and degree of betrayals, lies, and slander were enough to make Jesus beam back to heaven instead of redeeming mankind. Matt proved himself not only a shrewd litigator, but a stabling force in an otherwise disorienting ordeal. I began my case blindsided, branded and buried. I ended my case with the fair and reasonable outcome I sought, and my self respect well intact. Matt is genuinely sympathetic, but he isn’t concerned with the emotion of the case. When you are in the fight, every indignation seems consequential, but Matt has a real skill at identifying and isolating the core elements of the case. The court clearly appreciates this. In an environment full of emotional embellishment and accusation, factual minimalism is rare and refreshing. As hard as it was to stand pat in court while a seemingly endless arsenal of absurdities we’re fired at me from across the aisle with little or no return fire, Matt kept me focused on outcomes. We were dragged to court more times than I can count, over matters too small to mention. We never lost. Taking the high road both in the courtroom and outside it is insanely difficult and exceedingly rare in contentious divorces. The degree of difficulty is precisely why it is appreciated and rewarded by the court. I can’t imagine where I’d be now if I had chosen a different attorney. Worth noting, I spent half of what she did on her attorney. If you want an attorney that’s going to play in the mud, look elsewhere. If you want an attorney that’s going to help you navigate the irrational and get you what you deserve with a clear conscience, you owe it to yourself to sit down with Matt.

I hired Matt as my divorce attorney. He made this whole scary, and intense process, a lot less messy. Matt is a very honest lawyer, and made me feel more at ease about the situation I was in. He was kind and understanding, and did a great job at keeping me informed about every step. I highly recommend Matt, if you want an attorney who is honest, and fair, and gets a great job done!

In 2014, I filed for divorce from my husband of 20 yrs. I was scared and unsure about everything. I had 2 teenage boys that I was very concerned about and no idea of where to begin. Matthew settled my nerves and my fears and gave me the strength and courage to start a "new life" on my own. He is very professional, respectful and supportive. He has a talent of understanding people; he is very knowledgeable about his professions. Not only he fights hard for me, he also personally cares about my well being. Matthew stays in contact and doesn't over bill and use time unnecessarily. With his effort, my divorce process went very smoothly, I truly appreciate all his efforts and supports. He must be one of the best lawyers in Michigan. He will be the first lawyer I call if and when I am in need.

I cannot say enough great things about this group, particularly Matt. I was in a position where I had no idea what to do or what to expect, and from day one, Matt made sure that everything was laid out on the table. He told it like it was; no sugar-coating or unrealistic expections, which was something that I really appreciated. There was never a moment where I felt like I was unsure or needed to question his approach to my case. This ordeal ended up being so much better than I could have ever expected because Matt represented me. I have complete confidence in his expertise and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance

He was compassionate and yet realistic. He would take the time to listen to you and help you as much as possible within reason. I feel that he was very level-headed, attentive and knowledgeable on my legal matters and explained the steps in layman's term which eased my mind so I could focus on living my life.

Matt Van Steenkiste represented me on two occasions. The first case was a mortgage settlement where Matt successfully negotiated a minimal settlement that I was extremely happy with. The second case was a divorce case which Matt helped me to successfully negotiate an extremely fare settlement in very turbulent situation. I would describe Matt as knowledgeable, professional, calming, and aggressive. Matt gave me a peace of mind that I was being represented by someone who cared about my situation.

I was being sued by 2 different creditors @ the same time. Thats when I knew I needed a professional to help me with my situation. I needed an attorney that specializes in credit card defense. Then I found Matt's firm online. The process was as simple as hiring his firm and getting the results I was looking for. I would highly recommend his firm to everyone who is being ued by creditors. Thanks again Matt John H. Lansing, Mi

I can’t articulate the scope of ugliness my divorce wrought on my life in 4000 characters, so I won’t try. The volume and degree of betrayals, lies, and slander were enough to make Jesus beam back to heaven instead of redeeming mankind. Matt proved himself not only a shrewd litigator, but a stabling force in an otherwise disorienting ordeal. I began my case blindsided, branded and buried. I ended my case with the fair and reasonable outcome I sought, and my self respect well intact. Matt is genuinely sympathetic, but he isn’t concerned with the emotion of the case. When you are in the fight, every indignation seems consequential, but Matt has a real skill at identifying and isolating the core elements of the case. The court clearly appreciates this. In an environment full of emotional embellishment and accusation, factual minimalism is rare and refreshing. As hard as it was to stand pat in court while a seemingly endless arsenal of absurdities we’re fired at me from across the aisle with little or no return fire, Matt kept me focused on outcomes. We were dragged to court more times than I can count, over matters too small to mention. We never lost. Taking the high road both in the courtroom and outside it is insanely difficult and exceedingly rare in contentious divorces. The degree of difficulty is precisely why it is appreciated and rewarded by the court. I can’t imagine where I’d be now if I had chosen a different attorney. Worth noting, I spent half of what she did on her attorney. If you want an attorney that’s going to play in the mud, look elsewhere. If you want an attorney that’s going to help you navigate the irrational and get you what you deserve with a clear conscience, you owe it to yourself to sit down with Matt.

I hired Matt as my divorce attorney. He made this whole scary, and intense process, a lot less messy. Matt is a very honest lawyer, and made me feel more at ease about the situation I was in. He was kind and understanding, and did a great job at keeping me informed about every step. I highly recommend Matt, if you want an attorney who is honest, and fair, and gets a great job done!

In 2014, I filed for divorce from my husband of 20 yrs. I was scared and unsure about everything. I had 2 teenage boys that I was very concerned about and no idea of where to begin. Matthew settled my nerves and my fears and gave me the strength and courage to start a "new life" on my own. He is very professional, respectful and supportive. He has a talent of understanding people; he is very knowledgeable about his professions. Not only he fights hard for me, he also personally cares about my well being. Matthew stays in contact and doesn't over bill and use time unnecessarily. With his effort, my divorce process went very smoothly, I truly appreciate all his efforts and supports. He must be one of the best lawyers in Michigan. He will be the first lawyer I call if and when I am in need.

I cannot say enough great things about this group, particularly Matt. I was in a position where I had no idea what to do or what to expect, and from day one, Matt made sure that everything was laid out on the table. He told it like it was; no sugar-coating or unrealistic expections, which was something that I really appreciated. There was never a moment where I felt like I was unsure or needed to question his approach to my case. This ordeal ended up being so much better than I could have ever expected because Matt represented me. I have complete confidence in his expertise and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance

He was compassionate and yet realistic. He would take the time to listen to you and help you as much as possible within reason. I feel that he was very level-headed, attentive and knowledgeable on my legal matters and explained the steps in layman's term which eased my mind so I could focus on living my life.

Matt Van Steenkiste represented me on two occasions. The first case was a mortgage settlement where Matt successfully negotiated a minimal settlement that I was extremely happy with. The second case was a divorce case which Matt helped me to successfully negotiate an extremely fare settlement in very turbulent situation. I would describe Matt as knowledgeable, professional, calming, and aggressive. Matt gave me a peace of mind that I was being represented by someone who cared about my situation.

I was being sued by 2 different creditors @ the same time. Thats when I knew I needed a professional to help me with my situation. I needed an attorney that specializes in credit card defense. Then I found Matt's firm online. The process was as simple as hiring his firm and getting the results I was looking for. I would highly recommend his firm to everyone who is being ued by creditors. Thanks again Matt John H. Lansing, Mi

When I first spoke with Matt he was very helpful and showed genuine interest and care after I explained my situation we hung up and I called back 10 minutes later and hired him when he accepted my case he and his staff worked on my case very diligently calling me with updates keeping me in the loop the one thing that sets Matt apart from other lawyers is he never let me worry and that was huge for me then as expected he won my case with a dismissal I will always use Matt for any legal matters that come up in my life thank you Matt.

He told it like it was; no sugar-coating or unrealistic expections, which was something that I really appreciated. There was never a moment where I felt like I was unsure or needed to question his approach to my case. This ordeal ended up being so much better than I could have ever expected because Matt represented me. I have complete confidence in his expertise and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance

He was compassionate and yet realistic. He would take the time to listen to you and help you as much as possible within reason. I feel that he was very level-headed, attentive and knowledgeable on my legal matters and explained the steps in layman's term which eased my mind so I could focus on living my life.

Matt Van Steenkiste represented me on two occasions. The first case was a mortgage settlement where Matt successfully negotiated a minimal settlement that I was extremely happy with. The second case was a divorce case which Matt helped me to successfully negotiate an extremely fare settlement in very turbulent situation. I would describe Matt as knowledgeable, professional, calming, and aggressive. Matt gave me a peace of mind that I was being represented by someone who cared about my situation.

I was being sued by 2 different creditors @ the same time. Thats when I knew I needed a professional to help me with my situation. I needed an attorney that specializes in credit card defense. Then I found Matt's firm online. The process was as simple as hiring his firm and getting the results I was looking for. I would highly recommend his firm to everyone who is being ued by creditors. Thanks again Matt John H. Lansing, Mi

When I first spoke with Matt he was very helpful and showed genuine interest and care after I explained my situation we hung up and I called back 10 minutes later and hired him when he accepted my case he and his staff worked on my case very diligently calling me with updates keeping me in the loop the one thing that sets Matt apart from other lawyers is he never let me worry and that was huge for me then as expected he won my case with a dismissal I will always use Matt for any legal matters that come up in my life thank you Matt.

I can’t articulate the scope of ugliness my divorce wrought on my life in 4000 characters, so I won’t try. The volume and degree of betrayals, lies, and slander were enough to make Jesus beam back to heaven instead of redeeming mankind. Matt proved himself not only a shrewd litigator, but a stabling force in an otherwise disorienting ordeal. I began my case blindsided, branded and buried. I ended my case with the fair and reasonable outcome I sought, and my self respect well intact. Matt is genuinely sympathetic, but he isn’t concerned with the emotion of the case. When you are in the fight, every indignation seems consequential, but Matt has a real skill at identifying and isolating the core elements of the case. The court clearly appreciates this. In an environment full of emotional embellishment and accusation, factual minimalism is rare and refreshing. As hard as it was to stand pat in court while a seemingly endless arsenal of absurdities we’re fired at me from across the aisle with little or no return fire, Matt kept me focused on outcomes. We were dragged to court more times than I can count, over matters too small to mention. We never lost. Taking the high road both in the courtroom and outside it is insanely difficult and exceedingly rare in contentious divorces. The degree of difficulty is precisely why it is appreciated and rewarded by the court. I can’t imagine where I’d be now if I had chosen a different attorney. Worth noting, I spent half of what she did on her attorney. If you want an attorney that’s going to play in the mud, look elsewhere. If you want an attorney that’s going to help you navigate the irrational and get you what you deserve with a clear conscience, you owe it to yourself to sit down with Matt.

I hired Matt as my divorce attorney. He made this whole scary, and intense process, a lot less messy. Matt is a very honest lawyer, and made me feel more at ease about the situation I was in. He was kind and understanding, and did a great job at keeping me informed about every step. I highly recommend Matt, if you want an attorney who is honest, and fair, and gets a great job done!

In 2014, I filed for divorce from my husband of 20 yrs. I was scared and unsure about everything. I had 2 teenage boys that I was very concerned about and no idea of where to begin. Matthew settled my nerves and my fears and gave me the strength and courage to start a "new life" on my own. He is very professional, respectful and supportive. He has a talent of understanding people; he is very knowledgeable about his professions. Not only he fights hard for me, he also personally cares about my well being. Matthew stays in contact and doesn't over bill and use time unnecessarily. With his effort, my divorce process went very smoothly, I truly appreciate all his efforts and supports. He must be one of the best lawyers in Michigan. He will be the first lawyer I call if and when I am in need.
