After practicing for 3 years as an assistant district attorney in New Orleans I decided to move to Richmond, Virginia with my wife Kelly, a native Richmonder. Having grown up in New Orleans, I am getting used to the winters up here, but I find that the substantial trial experience that I obtained in New Orleans as an assistant district attorney is invaluable in the civil sector where many attorneys rarely get to court. This familiarity with trial and courtroom procedures serves my clients well.
Recently, I was part of a group of six attorneys who founded the Commonwealth Law Group here in Richmond. When I am not at the office, I enjoy cooking, tennis, and watching the New Orleans Saints.

Great PI Lawyer
My wife and I recently retained Matt Lastrapes for a personal injury case and got better than expected results. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a personal injury attorney who will fight to make you whole again. After my wife fell in a store for a big corporation, we consulted numero...
"Matt and I were opposing counsel in a wrongful death matter in which I represented a large regional hospital. Matt was a zealous advocate for his client and a tough negotiator. However, he was highly cooperative and reasonable in reaching an amicable resolution to our case. I endorse this lawyer."
"Matt is not only a friend and colleague, but a truly compassionate advocate who puts the lives of his clients first. He is has an open heart, a tireless work ethic and a proven record of success. What Matt lacks in gray hairs is doubly made up for by his sharp intellect and his endless pursuit of justice. I am proud to be his friend and his law partner."
