When two people have a child together, they share financial responsibilities.

However, at Hope Matchan Law, we know how to challenge a court's calculated results.

Hiring a lawyer is never a fun experience. Hope helped me with renegotiating the terms of my divorce. i found her and her staff to be compassionate, understanding and very professional. Hope helped me understand what my rights were and what was possible in the reworking of my agreement. At the end we landed at an agreement that worked well for all involved and was in the best interests of my children. Pricing was more than fair, I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do she will be top of my list.

Hope was our amazing lawyer and helped us through every step of the way. Hope did a great job following through on what she said she would do and was honest and open with my husband and I. Hope was probably the most fair on pricing that we could have asked for as well. I loved getting to know Hope and she genuinely cared about us and our personal lives as well. I would use her again for her services in an instant.

After being arrested in Sioux Falls, we contacted Ms. Matchan to represent us. She proved to be knowledgeable and professional throughout our experience with the Minnehaha County Judicial System. Because of her expertise and careful attention to our case, we were able to reach a plea agreement in which no jail time needed to be served. Ms. Matchan made herself accessible to us via email and cell phone. Even though the ordeal was a terrifying one, Ms. Matchan demonstrated compassion and capability through the entire process.

Hope is a fantastic lawyer—she went above and beyond for me and resolved my issues far better than I could have hoped for. She was invested in my case—she took the time to listen to my concerns, and researched every possible avenue to achieve a satisfactory outcome. Her education and credentials are exactly what you would hope for in a defense attorney, yet she remained extremely empathetic to my life and my concerns. In a word, Hope saved my life, and I highly recommend her.
