Professional Background

Matt began practicing law in 2013, first in Massachusetts before moving to Michigan. He clerked for a Judge on the Michigan Court of Appeals and was subsequently hired by a small defense medical malpractice firm. As defense counsel for a major hospital client, Matt worked on many complex cases, assisted with numerous multimillion dollar settlements, and developed into a formidable litigator.

Matt has since acquired further defense litigation experience in other legal areas, including employment law, legal malpractice, and probate. His lifelong passion for learning and challenging himself lead him to pursue representation on behalf of Plaintiffs, where he now leverages his extensive defense background as an asset to his clients.

On The Personal Side

Birth City:

Pittsfield, MA.

Family:

Proud Brother, Son, Uncle, Husband, and Father.

Interests:

In my free time, I relish spending time with my wife and daughter. I love being a father and watching my daughter grow right before my eyes. Personally, I enjoy watching football (lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills) and keeping apprised of current events and politics.

I also like books and movies that make me think (and some that don’t), live music, travel, and discovering new and interesting restaurants (though most do not measure up to my wife’s cooking!).

You’d Never Guess:

Before going to law school, I was a preschool teacher.
