Background

Matt began his legal career in Stephenville, Texas, representing small- and medium-sized businesses, developers, contractors, agricultural operators, small manufacturers, and small cities and counties.  He now practices in Fort Worth, litigating and trying simple and complex disputes.

Matt tells it like it is, works fast, and focuses on what matters—protecting a client’s business without slowing it down. Owners trust him to give level-headed advice, keep legal bills in check, and step in when something needs fixing. He’s tried cases in courthouses from Erath to Tarrant, and he knows how to handle a fight or help you avoid one.
