I come from a family of lawyers and have been in the courtroom as long as I can remember. After attending school at the University of Utah and clerking for Utah Supreme Court Justice Jill Parrish, I moved to southwest Montana where I opened offices in Bozeman and Big Sky. In addition to managing a growing trial practice, I travel nationwide to lecture and teach trial skills to other lawyers in the areas of family law, criminal defense, and DUI. I have authored articles on trial tactics in family, civil, and criminal cases and most recently, co-authored the book, Cross-Examination for Depositions, with my father, Roger Dodd.

Attorney Dodd was very professional. He communicated constantly and kept me informed with every bit of information throughout the entire process. He is quick to return calls, answer emails and is very thorough. I was extremely thrilled with the outcome as well. I highly recommend him.
"Matthew Dodd is a lawyer with boundless energy and great integrity. You can't go wrong with him defending you."
"I met Matt at a week-long family law seminar in Oklahoma. The seminar was tailored towards trial skills and Matt was one of the speakers. His presentations focused on cross-examining witnesses. Not only was I able to watch Matt cross-examine an expert witness and learn valuable trial skills from his performance, I was also able to sit down with him and talk about some of my struggles of being a new and young attorney and getting comfortable in the courtroom. He took the time to listen and he was very honest with his advice. Matt is extremely clever and witty, yet always professional. It is clear he is highly respected by other attorneys and I am really thankful I had the opportunity to learn so much from him."
"Matt tackles DUI cases head on, like no one else in this community. From the initial traffic stop to mechanical equipment calibrations, to 4th Amendment violations, everything is fair game when it comes to his clients' interests. I'd highly recommend Matt's services to individuals seeking dismissal or favorable resolution of their DUI charges."
"I know Matt through the National College of DUI Defense, where he is an active and respected member. I would refer those charged with DUI in Gallatin County and the surrounding area to Matt without hesitation."
"Matt is a skilled trial lawyer and advocate. In addition to the work he does for his clients, Matt is willing to spend time and help other trial lawyers improve. I know this because he helped me. I endorse Matt without reservation."
