About Matthew Rinear

A native of Cincinnati, Matthew’s mid-western values guide his no-nonsense philosophy in handling all aspects of his clients’ legal issues. Matthew’s primary practice consists of family law, but he also handles general civil litigation, such as contract disputes, business disputes, and defamation matters.

When it comes to family law, Matthew understands that going through a divorce or a custody issue is an intimidating and stressful process. To that end, he believes his job is more than drafting documents and showing up to court proceedings, it’s about guiding each client through his/her unique situation by explaining the process and setting expectations. Matthew is committed to making himself available to help resolve issues that may arise on a daily basis. His clients frequently commend him on his quick responses to e-mails and telephone calls.

Matthew graduated with a degree in Communications from Ohio University. With a focus in live television production and creative writing, he was involved in the writing and production of: television news, regionally televised documentary productions, nationally televised commercials and late-night sketch comedy. He also completed an internship with Fox Sports Ohio producing Cincinnati Reds baseball games.

This background has provided Matthew with a unique skillset of both pragmatic and artistic creativity, allowing him to imaginatively approach complex issues and reach solutions that effectively address the individual issues posed by each case.
