Federal crime lawyer | Jan 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have come to know Matthew in two different realms: federal litigator and co-chairmen. Matthew works seven days a week as a federal criminal defense attorney, working on cases ranging from organized crime to cyber crime. He then takes his knowledge and experience and shares with the Chicago legal community as a Chairman for the Chicago Bar Association's Criminal Law Division. Matthew is well versed in federal court procedure, which is the Ivy League of the legal world, yet he still finds time to teach others about the law and their rights. He's a stand-up attorney and I highly recommend him to other attorneys who have federal litigation questions and non-attorneys seeking a true advocate for themselves."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
