Matt concentrates his practice in the areas of healthcare litigation, product liability and professional liability, but the focus of his practice is on the professionals and people he defends. Over the course of his career, Matt has had the honor of representing physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and a host of other healthcare providers in all aspects of litigation from pre-suit investigation through verdict. As the son and brother of physicians, medical malpractice defense is a personal endeavor for him.

While impossible to fully comprehend the toll medical malpractice allegations exert on a provider, Matt has a better sense than most attorneys. His father, and by extension his family, endured a multi-year lawsuit, which correctly culminated with a defense verdict. Through this process with his dad, Matt personally shared in the stress, anger and fear that accompany such a lawsuit. “My family’s litigation experience provided an intimate education in the emotional tax the process imposes on providers,” says Matt. “This deeper understanding of the emotional toll is invaluable in developing the rapport essential for a successful defense.” Matt prides himself on bringing empathy for his clients to every case, a trait which is all too often absent in this environment.
