- Also, I am not so proud that I am only willing to handle big complex cases
- Though those kinds of cases are a true test of my abilities, I still love handling simpler cases as well
- Those cases aren’t any less important to those clients, and they give me an opportunity to try some different tactics and take some measured chances that may end up paying off in a big way.” Matthew is, by all metrics, an accomplished trial attorney

- his clients, and the relationships he has with them. “I have to say, all other things aside, my favorite part of being an attorney is the relationships I get to have with my clients
- I have clients where I have represented multiple members of their families, and clients who I’ve watched grow up, get married and have children
- The best experience I can have is not just winning a case, but seeing a client truly get back on their feet
- I mean, I get to be a positive part of that person’s life and help them get past what’s likely a personal nadir
- It’s simply rewarding in a way few things can be.” So if you’re looking for an attorney who has the breadth of knowledge and diversity of skills to handle almost any personal injury case, simple or complicated, big or small
