In his first ten years of practice, Matt has obtained tens of millions of dollars in verdicts, judgments and settlements on behalf of his clients.

Matt does not shy away from difficult cases. For example, in 2018 Matt and his client had a top offer of $20,000 from an insurance company after a shoulder tear injury.
