About Matthew
Biography
I am dedicated to providing personalized legal services to my clients. I represent people in a wide variety of practice areas including business disputes, suits against home builders or contractors, landlord and tenant disputes, and civil rights matters, among others.
I served in the United States Army from 2001 to 2005. After the army I attended Wayne State University and earned two Bachelors of Arts, one in Political Science and another in Philosophy. I graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and was admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2013.
