After law school, Matthew practiced as an attorney in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before moving to Arizona in 2009 and practicing law in Phoenix. Matthew returned to Wisconsin in 2014 and practices in the areas of probate, estate planning, bankruptcy, guardianships, family law, real estate, business law and criminal defense.
