Matthew E. Yde, Esq. is the sole equity partner and serves as the managing partner of Yde Law Firm, S.C. Mr. Yde was also a founding partner of Strasser & Yde, S.C. in 1997, the former D/B/A prior to the departure of his former partner who was selected for judicial service. Though the name on the door changed in 2016, Mr. Yde’s commitment to the client’s interests, his proven litigation approach and processes, and his commitment to the welfare of his community remain steadfast.

Mr. Yde has been practicing in the Wausau area since 1989. Upon starting his own law firm in 1997, Mr. Yde identified his mission. His firm was to be rooted in excellence, driven by word-of-mouth business. He wanted the result to speak for itself. After more than 33 years of providing services to the people of Wisconsin and beyond, Mr. Yde has measured his success by the satisfaction of his clients. He is driven by the sense of calm enjoyed by his clients when closing out a painful litigation matter causing long-term stress and life uncertainty, the peace of mind his clients appreciate when they are properly advised to avoid future specter of liability, and the appreciation of his clients when they realize the best possible resolution to their problem or anxiety.

Mr. Yde is a general civil litigation attorney, but offers nearly full service for all of his clients’ civil needs (exclusive of family law). He also offers mediation services. His track record of successful jury trials, bench trials, arbitrations, discrimination hearings, and Workers’ Compensation hearings throughout Wisconsin and Illinois give our clients an edge at trial which increases the likelihood of a favorable settlement or trial verdict.
