He has been repeatedly recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star and has been described as one of Florida’s standout litigators. Matthew handles complex, high-value injury and insurance litigation, including wrongful death, severe and catastrophic injury cases, commercial vehicle and trucking collisions, motorcycle crashes, brain injuries, negligent security, premises and product liability, nursing home negligence, insurance coverage disputes, and bad faith lawsuits. He has personally recovered close to $100 million for clients and has tried cases throughout Florida. Matthew is admitted to practice in Florida and in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida, with additional appearances in other jurisdictions. He often takes on cases other lawyers pass on, focusing on mastering the record, anticipating the defense, and finding the issue that shifts a case in his client’s favor, because to him, trial work is technical and deeply personal at the same time.
