About Matthew
Biography
For over a decade, I have represented individuals that have been severely injured or lost a loved one due to someone else’s conduct. I have helped obtain over $30,000,000 in verdicts and settlements for my clients.
My firm specializes in complex personal injury, medical malpractice, and insurance disputes. My firm is prepared to take a case to trial to tell our client’s story and maximize their recovery. I work to educate and advocate for my clients throughout their case so they can make the best decisions for them and their family.
