Matthew has dedicated his career to representing Plaintiffs injured in auto accidents, trucking accidents, slip & fall accidents, premises liability cases, & wrongful death cases. He has also represented individuals in claims against their homeowner’s & life insurance carriers, & employees in both State & Federal Court against their employers for violations of the FLSA & FMLA.
