A commercial litigator at heart, Matt thrives on advocating for clients. His diverse practice includes high-stakes contractual and business disputes; employment litigation, such as discrimination, wrongful termination, and wage and hour allegations; toxic tort, personal injury, and product liability claims; premises liability matters; and insurance coverage disputes. Matt works with a variety of clients concentrated in the technology, manufacturing, and transportation industries, including global corporations and Fortune 500 companies.Matt has tried cases to verdict, and he has argued and won appeals in both state and federal court. He understands the importance—and the art—of presenting a clear, coherent, fact-driven narrative that juries can readily grasp. However, his goal is always to pursue the outcome that’s best for the client, and often, that isn’t trial. Matt knows that in many disputes, drawn-out litigation isn’t beneficial to either party and can be an expensive distraction from business goals. Instead, he seeks the best, cleanest, least intrusive solution for the client, whether that’s arbitration, mediation, settlement, or, in some cases, a full trial.Aggressive when necessary and conciliatory when not, Matt cares deeply about the client’s best interests. He’s known for his straightforward counsel, always ensuring that clients are fully informed from the outset on the realities of the litigation process. Clients value his open communication and his honest assessment of the risks and benefits of any strategy.
