About Mathew
Biography
As a lawyer and a small business owner, I view my cases with a singular focus: to solve the problems faced by my clients.
I founded SeiferFlatow, PLLC in 2011 after years of developing a broad and extensive litigation practice in both state and federal court in Charlotte and throughout North Carolina. Experienced in many types of civil litigation, I am committed to achieve the best possible results for every client embroiled in a legal dispute or requiring personalized legal advice. My unceasing commitment to satisfied clients is the hallmark of my practice.
Though legal battles can sometimes be long and grueling, I work to be a steadfast advocate; I work tirelessly to address my clients’ needs. I help my clients find peace of mind even in the face of a legal battle.
My clients include international business owners looking to do business in or hire employees in Charlotte; business owners in Charlotte looking to protect their companies from potential vulnerabilities or protect employees and trade secrets; individuals looking to maximize contracts or pursue legal options after termination; and workers who have been injured on the job.
