About

Review:  "If you are reading online reviews for a family law attorney you are likely seeking a divorce attorney. That is probably not a happy situation for you and finding a "good attorney" is your priority. I found Matt and his team in 2016 and readily hired him after my initial consultation. Matt breaks any negative stereotypes regarding attorneys. He and his team transcend being "nice" and are KIND. I was immediately comfortable with him and his team and I quickly learned he was the best attorney I could have found. He and his team have an uncanny attention for details and his thorough work discovered information which would have been left uncovered had he not done his job so well..." How do you get started? Stop by our website (www.voorheesfamilylaw.com) and answer a few quick questions.  There, you'll learn if we might be a good fit.  If so, you will be connected with one of our attorneys to learn more.   Direct Connect with us – at no charge!We do our best work when we’re aware of our clients’ thoughts and goals.  We want our clients to feel comfortable checking in with us without worrying about the cost.  To make this work, we provide our clients with a complimentary service (Direct Connect) that lets them communicate with us a certain amount of time each month at no charge.To do this, clients visit the Direct Connect page on our website.  They choose an appointment time that works for them.  We then call them at the scheduled time, ready to answer their questions. This exclusive benefit for our clients helps keep costs down, eliminates back-and-forth and allows our clients to quickly get in touch with one of our attorneys. About our Firm:I have devoted my legal career to practicing solely family law. Through this focus on family law, I have developed a history of successfully litigating divorce, paternity and custody matters through trial.After graduating in 2006 from St. Louis University School of Law, I joined as an associate in an established family law practice in Clayton. I departed that firm as a named partner in 2013, to form Voorhees Family Law, LLC.I believe the best outcome is often one where parties work together to reach a fair and amicable resolution. In some cases, this is done at the kitchen table. In others, a mediator can be helpful. In addition to keeping costs down, when parties are able to reach a fair settlement, they are more likely to extend a healthier co-parenting relationship beyond the divorce judgment. In such cases, my role is to advise as to the fairness of the agreement and to draft the documents necessary to effect the desired outcome.Some cases can only be resolved in court. Whether parties have few assets and no children, or a multimillion dollar estate with complicated custody, maintenance and business valuation issues, it is important to fully understand the exact nature of all assets, debts, incomes and custody and support issues. With this full understanding, the facts can be presented to the court in a manner that allows for the best possible outcome.I speak on a variety of family law issues and divorce. I have served as a Committee Co-Chair for the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, as a member of the Mayor’s Vanguard Cabinet and as a volunteer mediator for M.A.R.C.H. Mediation. I am a member of the Missouri Bar Association.In 2019 through 2021, I was honored to be recognized as a Missouri “Super Lawyer” in the area of Family Law.  In 2015 and 2016, I was named a “Rising Star” attorney by Super Lawyers. In 2010, I was named an “Up & Coming Lawyer” by Missouri Lawyer’s Weekly.

I hired Voorhees Family Law to assist with my divorce after meeting with several other potential attorneys in the area. I was impressed with Matt’s candor when discussing my situation with him. After hiring him, he and his team were essential in helping me navigate my specific situation and helping lead me to a successful outcome. Throughout the experience, I was consistently impressed by the continued candidness, responsiveness, and overall professionalism that he and his staff brought to the table. I would highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone in need of assistance in similar situations.

I have been sending friends, family and clients to Matt for years and I always get good feedback on his work. When it came time for me to find a family law attorney for myself I knew where to turn. Matt handled my divorce in the same prompt, professional, and efficient manner he had handled everyone else’s divorce. I cannot say enough about his work. Now I can refer clients to him with even more enthusiasm.

Matt, Shirley, Kim and the whole team were wonderful. I was not the easiest client to deal with, having many unique and unorthodox circumstances and requests. However, they were very patient with me and honored my wishes and listened to what I wanted to do (even if they did not agree with it) and made sure I understood the potential consequences of my decisions. Matt and his staff guided me through the entire process, including mediation. I have recommended Matt to a number of friends and acquaintances seeking representation and if I should need a family law lawyer again, Matt will be my first choice. Matt was respectful of me and my former spouse, but also a committed advocate. I am very grateful for having Matt and his staff help me through this process and could not recommend them more highly.

Matt was great to work with. From our first hour consultation I could tell that he cared to get to the bottom of my case. He listened and didn’t talk over me. He was pleasant, kind and quite funny. I didn’t feel like I was just another paycheck for him. He offered great advice and made very strategic decisions in finishing my case. He communicated well and got things done when he said he would. This law firm was amazing and I recommend everyone going through divorce or other family law situations to contact Voorhees. Everyone in the office is incredible and you will not be disappointed.

Matt and his team at Voorhees Family Law guided me through my divorce, making an difficult time much easier. Throughout the process, I always felt that Matt had only my best interests in mind (as opposed to the fee inflation that I had been warned to be careful about when hiring a lawyer) and I was treated with utter professionalism and respect each and every time I interacted with Matt or his staff. I also really appreciated that Matt or his staff would respond right away when I had a question or just some reassurance that everything would be okay. Matt and his staff helped me get through a challenging time, I highly recommend Voorhees Family Law.
