I was raised in Belgrade, Montana and graduated from Belgrade High School in 2006. In 2010 I graduated from the University of Montana with Honors. During my time at UM I served as the Captain of the University of Montana debate team. My love for persuasive advocacy pushed me to pursue a career in law.
I received my Juris Doctorate from Gonzaga University School of Law in 2013. Since then I've worked in a variety of practice areas, including personal injury, insurance defense, real estate transaction, wills and trusts, and several other areas. In 2017 I became the newest shareholder in the firm, which was subsequently renamed to Smith Oblander & Meade, P.C. In 2020 I was elected to serve as the incoming President for the Cascade County Bar Association for the year 2021.
In my spare time I help coach CMR's debate team (Go Rustlers!) and volunteer on the Cascade County Law Clinic board.

It took him 1 week and 1 letter and the other lawyers closed their file and took no further action against me. Matt kept me informed about my options, his actions, and the entire process. I recommend him highly....

Matt Meade's legal counsel came highly recommended to me by another (also highly recommended, by a co-worker) attorney I had called whose schedule was too full to take my auto accident injury. I had never sought legal counsel before. I did not know what to expect and I felt a little intimidated by th...
