With more than ten years in private practice, Matthew Patton has built a reputation for thoughtful, aggressive advocacy as the head of one of Robinson & Henry’s Family Law Teams. His journey began as a Division Clerk in Douglas County and as a Deputy Sheriff in Larimer County, where he gained firsthand exposure to criminal investigations and courtroom procedure. As District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District, he refined his litigation skills by prosecuting both misdemeanors and felonies and handling hundreds of trials and motions. Today, Matthew applies those insights to complex family law and criminal defense cases, crafting strategies that balance fierce representation with client-centered communication. Whether negotiating settlements, guiding mediation, or presenting cases before a judge and jury, he tailors his approach to each client’s unique circumstances. His notable victories include an acquittal in a domestic violence trial, a favorable custody ruling in a relocation dispute, and successfully refuting a contested common-law marriage allegation.

"I have had the privilege of working as opposing counsel with Matt on many occasions throughout my career and I have always found him to be reasonable, professional and solutions-focused for his clients."
"Matt is an exceptional trial attorney whose knowledge in the courtroom has led to great victories in both criminal and civil matters. He fights for his clients without end. I highly recommend him."
"Mr. Patton is a smart, well rounded, charismatic trial attorney. While that can be said about many attorneys, what puts him over the top is his care and concern for the people he helps which is apparent both in and out of the courtroom. He is a great listener and outstanding advocate which aids him in being a strong ally and mentor."
"When Mr. Patton was the District Attorney handling matters in Douglas County, we found him to be a smart, energetic, and humorous adversary. We found that to be a great combination and decided we would rather have him on our team."
