Hope Matchan Law

She was my daughters lawyer, and i would not recommend having her, as she did nothing to help my daughter. She forgot many things about the case, that she should of known, she called my daughter by the wrong name, and she told us when to be in court (the day, place, and time) in sioux falls, and we got there and sat for a half hour and nobody showed up, so i went and questioned it, and was told the court was in Canton, not SF. She screwed up again. I honestly thought she was getting dementia. Hope is not even worth 1 star!!

She did amazing work and is now retired!

If I could do negative stars I would. Hope literally forgot who I was and or what my case was about. There was many issues but the most embarrassing was when we were in court to get a mental health hold on parental visits I had to remind her of what I was trying to do. I wasn’t told to bring anything for evidence, we were supposed to speak prior to court but I was blown off until hours before but she couldn’t find the court house so that wasn’t the amount of time I should have had. In conversing all she could tell us about was the new expensive office she was moving to. In court she didn’t address what was needed to be addressed and was merely repeating what was already in the paperwork already. The judge literally rolled his eyes at her… it was absolutely embarrassing. And to add the cherry on top she forgot my name in the middle of court… she called me by my daughter’s name until the judge corrected her. I literally was screwed over on many different things throughout but mostly she screwed over my daughter being forced into a situation that risked her well being. Spend the money and go elsewhere i had to constantly pester and push yet it did no good she would forget us each time…

Don't even bother calling this one doesn't even answer her phone and the voicemail is full

Hope was amazing with helping us gain primary custody of a child who didn't want to live with the other party anymore. It was a long a grueling process, but she walked us through every little step of the way. She gave our child hope that she wouldn't have to live in a unhealthy environment anymore.

This Lady help me understand about the law of south Dakota, thank you so much

Friendly and very helpful regarding family law couldn't take My case but gave me plenty of information on certain laws in our wonderful State of SD and couple of Great referrals Big Thank you Hope

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer! Hope and her paralegal, Laura, are the best! I had no idea what steps to take or how the whole divorce process went. I had been married over 30 years and getting divorced was not something I thought I would ever have to do. I was scared and nervous. From the first conversation with Hope it was evident I would be in good hands. She spoke to me like we had known each other for forever. This eased my anxiety tremendously and I knew from that conversation she was the right lawyer. She walked me through every step and answered any question I had right away. Hope and Laura were supportive, encouraging, and definitely had my back, especially at a time when I was just ready to cave. They handled everything in a professional and timely manner. I am beyond thankful to both of these amazing ladies! I highly recommend them to anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. Thank you, Hope! Thank you, Laura!

Don't expect her to do anything quickly. She's defending my ex, there was a major mis communication and I my ex lost custody. I'm throwing it back and she's done nothing. She's lazy and notorious for being unavailable. Do not hire.

I had limited experience with Hope however she was very personable and friendly relative to legal advice in my initial consultation. I would not hesitate to hire her.

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 is an amazing lawyer!!! She will get the job done!! If you retain her just be patient and she will deliver for you.

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.

Hope is not only good at what she does she cares about her clients, she will fully invest herself into your case. She is not afraid to tell it to you straight and make sure you understand all that legal jargon.

Always professional and helpful

Just by this recent phone conversation I had with her she is very good at explaining and pushing you to the right direction.
