Firm: Crider Law Group

750 F Street , Davis , California 95616

Practice Areas: Estate Planning

Matthew Crider grew up in Texas and moved to California because he didn’t feel he was paying enough in taxes. OK, it was also because his wife, a California native, refused to move to Texas. But Matthew brought his Texas gentility to Cali with him.. Matthew has distinguished himself in the field of law in both Texas and California, where he’s licensed to practice. When he had a case go to the U.S. Supreme Court, however, it was rescheduled because another matter was deemed slightly more pressing – Bush v. Gore. Go figure! (The Crider name goes a long way, but it isn’t quite as powerful as the names Bush or Gore.). Matthew loves his work at Crider Law Group. It requires forward-thinking and creativity to come up with the best possible solutions for his clients, who call Matthew “dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate.”. At the firm, he provides a wide range of estate planning services, advising individuals and families how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their financial assets. He says there’s nothing more rewarding than helping people protect themselves and their loved ones at any stage of life's journey.. Matthew works with men, women, couples, seniors, young families with minor children, families with special needs children of all ages, entrepreneurs with business considerations, and established families.. Matthew frequently speaks to public and private groups on a variety of legal issues. He’s active in the community as a member of Wealth Counsel, Elder Counsel, the Sacramento County Bar Association, Placer County Bar Association, and Yolo County Bar Association. He’s accredited by the Department of Veteran Affairs to assist veterans in filing claims. He’s also a member of Rotary International.. In his spare time, Matthew loves to spend time with his wife and two young children. He’s an adventurous and active sort, who loves camping, snow shoeing, and traveling – especially if the trip involves cycling. But since his kids are currently little, the cycling travel is on hold until they’re a bit older. Then, those kids are in for a treat!

I grew up in a small town where I learned the values of hard work, perseverance, and respect. I’ve also lived and studied abroad in three different continents —observing first hand what works and what doesn’t.. I know the values in the US that are worth fighting for to preserve and protect, but I’m realistic enough to know that things could always be better.. I strive to be the best at whatever I set my mind to. I’m a passionate advocate and a natural leader. I’m a people person, but I can just as easily find contentment in solitude.. I hold a Juris Doctor and a Master of Legal Studies in Human Rights from Trinity Law School. I did my undergraduate at Liberty University where I obtained a Bachelor of Science.. I’m an advocate for the oppressed and I seek justice. I believe in treating others with respect and doing the right thing. I’m not afraid to fight a good fight and see justice done. I have a heart for the little guy or gal, and I am not afraid to stand up to a bully.. I graduated top-in-class from Trinity Law School and received the highest award at commencement by vote of the faculty. I went on to pass the California State Bar Exam on my first attempt.. Let’s work together and make this world a better place.

Practice Areas: Tax

My firm specializes in estate planning and tax law. Because these areas of the law deal with sensitive subjects, my goal is provide peace of mind.  In my practice I strive to help people manage difficult situations so that they end up in a safer and more secure place.. I started practicing law in 2007 in Philadelphia.  I started out as a business litigator. While I had some great experiences, I quickly decided that I would rather use my legal skills to help build people up.  As I obtained more and more real world litigation experience, I grew tired of using my skills to beat people up and create inefficient results.  Too often clients and other attorneys waste time and effort yelling at each other and not creating anything of value.  If you win a case but the attorney’s fees exceed the award, what good have you done?  I did not want to waste my clients’ money yelling at other attorneys, so. I determined to change my practice as I moved to beautiful Berkeley, CA.. My family guided me in my new path.  As my wife and I moved to the Bay Area, my father suffered a series of strokes which left him seriously incapacitated.  I saw first hand how difficult end of life decisions can be.  I also saw how precious trustworthy and helpful guidance could be.  As a result, I focused my studies on tax law with an emphasis on estate planning.  I earned an LLM, a master’s degree in tax law, from Golden Gate University with honors.. I received my JD in 2007 from Washington University in St. Louis and B.A. in Classical Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999.  I have also clerked for the Tax Division of the US Department of Justice in San Francisco. I am proud to offer my services from the Law Office of Matthew Bruns.  I want to help you find safety and security in dealing with difficult decisions.
