I became an attorney for one reason — to use the gifts God gave me for good. To bring truth to power. To fight for the vulnerable. And to persuade the powerful to treat the least among us with dignity and respect.
I grew up in Henry County. My family is here. My church is here. You can find me walking around the McDonough Town Square most days or having lunch at Grits. I am not a billboard lawyer downtown. I am your neighbor.
When you call The Van Matre Law Firm, you get me or my paralegal — every time. No call centers. No rotating associates. No being handed off to someone who doesn’t know your name. Clients here become family, and that’s not a marketing line. That’s just how we operate.
For 10 years I have fought insurance companies, prosecutors, and powerful interests on behalf of working people in Henry County and the Southside of Atlanta. I have been recognized as one of America’s Top 100 Personal Injury Attorneys and a multiple-time Super Lawyers Rising Star — but what matters most to me is that when you leave this office, you felt heard, respected, and taken care of.
Even if I can’t help you, I will make sure you get where you need to go.
You don’t have to go downtown. Your lawyer is already home.
Sincerely,
Jordan

Dont hire
I hired him on my case and it seems that he worked with the DA on my case. The first deal that the DA offered me with was the only deal. MR MATRE NEVER TRIED TO FIGHT FOR ME He never filed certain motions in my case and once I had to take the deal offered. I signed a plea deal in the hall. And when ...
I too was disappointed with the outcome of this case. It was an unfortunate situation where the judge did not accept the plea I negotiated on my client's behalf, which the judge can do based on different circumstances. In my legal opinion, there was not a sufficient legal basis for substantive motions. At the end of the day I always provide advice in a manner consistent with the best interests of my clients, even if my clients do not always agree. These considerations often take into account personal knowledge of the judge, the judge's predispositions to certain types of cases, and the predictability of the judge's actions at trial. Every case is different. Again, I too was disappointed the judge did not give us the benefit of the work performed for my client.
