Matthew Leipold

Matt Leipold isn’t your average defense attorney, he’s someone who has seen the legal system from every possible angle. He started his career in the trenches as a public defender, where he quickly earned a reputation for winning the "unwinnable" cases, including acquittals for major felonies like malice murder and child molestation. He became a specialist in motions to suppress, fighting back against unlawful searches to protect his clients' constitutional rights. His skill was so well-regarded that the Superior Court judges eventually asked him to serve as a judge himself. After two years on the bench presiding over hundreds of hearings and trials, Matt has returned to criminal defense with an invaluable perspective. He knows exactly how judges think and what they look for, and he uses that "behind-the-bench" wisdom to navigate the most complex cases. For Matt, defense work is personal. He knows how overwhelming the process can be, and he takes pride in being a steady, knowledgeable guide for people facing their most difficult moments. When you have Matt in your corner, you're getting a former judge and a battle-tested advocate who knows exactly how to fight for your future.
