Matt is a sixth generation Floridian who has spent the past twenty-five years representing businesses and individuals that have been harmed by corporate misconduct or professional negligence. After earning a law degree from the University of Alabama, Matt spent two years researching banking law and creditor’s rights with the Dean of his law school. He then joined the commercial litigation department of a large Jacksonville law firm where Matt developed a special interest in helping businesses recover financial losses caused by the professional malpractice of attorneys, accountants, and appraisers. Matt’s professional liability practice has since expanded to include medical and nursing malpractice. While Matt handles all types of personal injury and wrongful death claims, he is frequently consulted and co-counseled by other law firms on complex medical malpractice cases involving cardiovascular, neurological, and birth injuries.
