He has represented a number of clients who were seriously injured or lost loved ones when cars collided with livestock on the roads or highways..

He believes insurance companies will not pay top dollar unless they believe the lawyer (and the injured person) have the ability and the commitment to spend the time and money to take the case to trial when necessary.

Matt moved to Arizona in 1987, after graduating with high honors from the University of Nebraska College of Law. He also was an editor of the Nebraska Law Review.

"The law interested me because I wanted to help people," he says. "And I wanted to do my part to right what is wrong in the world. Unlike other lawyers, trial lawyers don’t charge those they help anything unless they recover money for them. Nothing makes me happier than improving the lives of victims by helping them obtain the fair compensation they deserve.". Matt moved to Arizona after he fell in love with backpacking its mountains and canyons. He has hiked all over the state. Recently, he and two friends hiked from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the North Rim in the middle of August. He loves taking his teenage sons, 15 and 13, on camping and hiking trips..
