About Matthew
Biography
I live on an active working farm just two miles outside of town. Adams County , Pa. has been my home for over 32 years and I love living here! I have been married for 38 years and my children will be fourth generation on the family farm. I also understand how hard it is for folks to commute out of the county since my wife , Luann, has done this for the majority of our life here in Adams County, Pa.
I am a Viet Nam veteran having served in the U.S. Army right out of high school. After the army, I went to college and then to law school. In between, I worked for a financial institution in downtown Philadelphia.
I have been the town lawyer for my home township, Hamiltonban township and the lawyer for Fairfield Borough . I am the attorney for several Fire Departments and Church organizations in Adams County on a volunteer basis.
I have been involved with various boards and organizations in Adams and Franklin Counties including: Easter Seals, Children and Youth Oversight Board, Hoffman Homes for Youth, Legal Aid, Adams County Bar Assoc. ( past president) , Zion United Church of Christ,
My staff of two very hard working and committed ladies have been here for 12 years and 28 years respectively. They know our clients and are familiar with the active cases. They can answer simple questions when our clients call into the office.

The ins and out of wills and powers of attorney
We thought all our paperwork was in order, but Matt knew exactly what we needed, explained it, and prepared it all.

Good Law
Over many years we have used this law practice for different legal reasons. Ranging from domestic/civil disputes, property transfers, wills, and financial and healthcare directive preparation. We have been very pleased with the legal services provided.
Matthew R. Battersby's Lawyer Endorsements
"After 38 years of happily wedded bliss, I do believe I know the character of this particular attorney pretty well. Matt has a streak of honesty a mile wide and acts in his clients' best interests, even if those best interests are to tell the client that they really don't have much of a case or that the facts are against them. Matt is at home in the courtroom; this may be your first divorce, but it is nearing his 1000th. Finally, Matt is never happier than when he is befriending someone who needs his help and good common sense."
